The Battle to recapture Bournemoth; a Hail Caesar Battle report
The Baron of Swathford, after gathering his host, launches a counterattack to recapture the lost Barony of Bournemoth. This is my 2nd game of Hail Caesar (#warlordgames ) continuing my Charc Campaign. The best way to describe this campaign is to say it is a historical battle, set on a fictional world (so you get the best of both worlds. Historical wargaming, with a dash of fantasy).
Here is a link to the Army List for this Battle;

I hope the link works and I hope you enjoy this battle report.
I hope you all had a great weekend and have a fantastic upcoming week!
I'm off to paint 62 Cavalry troopers!

    A second thought - when a unit loses in hand to hand and reach their shaken value do the excess casualties then go onto the supports - after the combat is resolved (ie break test etc)? I seem to remember that in a crusade game Martin played. As I mentioned I am no expert but I do love watching Martin's games and have watched and rewatched them several times while painting. I have to be careful as I really want to get a Naps game going once I get a bare minimum of troops painted - still ages away yet - but then I see a game like this and think oh I could really paint some romans hahahaha

    Super stoked when I saw this was up to watch - still watching but a question - now I don't play Hail Caesar - yet (I have a force of Imperial Romans underway though) - from watching games by Martin the two attacks around the 26 minute mark - shouldn't there be a charging bonus so hitting on threes for the charge and the defenders hitting on fours? I am no expert at all have to say. Can't wait to keep watching - I really like the fantasy flavour of this world and how you have used the ruleset in this way. Brilliant mate. Oh and yes to a comment below about clipping parts of the sprues and keeping them sorted in tubs that have all those compartments - I do that and it is a life saver for kit bashing and replacements etc

    At around 1050 you talk about bits of models. I've seen a number of people keep "bits" in tool trays. The sort that you see mechanics keep nuts and bolts in, or screws and small components. You can mount trays on your wall or buy little tool boxes with components and dividers in. Jewelery boxes or craft boxes work too.

    Looks amazing!!!! 62 cavalry is a chunk. I’ve done batches of 50 before and my best time is to all the horses first, stick 3 horses to a large popsicle stick, and use contrast paints to do groups of the same color. Then do the riders. For painting lots of cav that’s worked for me the best. Good luck and keep those videos coming!

    Great troop supply you've got. Sometimes the Worlord's starter boxes are a good source of not too expensive troopers - if the item is one sale. Do you have a guideline when we do see the next Infamy, Infamy! battle coming to us? Very often battles we're seeing pregoingvaction of smaller scale by recon in combat due to smaller troops bodies. So the countryside can be used twice at minimum - in the recon and later in the big battle. Actually ideal for I,I! rules tonshow a swift and herrassing Game to us. (Btw I am still painting my pile of miniatures in Yellow and Red 😂...)

      @@basement1908 Thats great - I also abbreviate some rules and get a stronger classing of my troops into superheavy Cavalery, heavy Cav. , medium Cav., light/skirmish Cav., heavy Infantry, medium Inf., light Inf. skirmishing Inf.. By this I do hope organising an easier systeme of points. So a big skirmishing army may try to stop a vandalising toop of berserkers running their countryside and cottages. By adding flags, musicians, officiers you pay points but your soldiers' moral or rally abilitys will rise. And your red and blue pair of D6 on important locations as a goody to the ForceMoral in every TempusFugit card is a must be for me - because demolishing moral isn't all for catching a victory. Any ideas in here for you, too?
