Why did the Triarii go back to “normal” line formation vs their special “column, but counts as line” formation? Loving these battle reports by the way! Hope to see more soon!

I like the grit of loading, and the way you can experiment with crews is really interesting.

I love your table set ups, especially the ground relief. How do you achieve that?

Awesome battle report, as usual. I love the Roman dice. Where'd you get them?

Great report as usual. How long was the game? 4 hours? I’m looking forward to trying Midgard. Also The Barons War for Crusader Skirmish, even Lion Rampant. Find myself shying away from Hail Caesar a bit these days.

Outstanding battle Gents! Thank you for sharing!

Brilliant game. I also think Robin was ‘willing’ that double 1 throw! Well done to you both and thanks.

Fantastic game really enjoyed it I do like the Flaming pigs brilliant game good rolling Robin🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍

Thx for the battle report! The game looks interesting. Maybe a new game for next year,

Thank you for the report, i learned that a unit only has to take a break test during a draw if it was shaken at the start of the combat (we played if it got shaken during this round) hiwever I think when the supporting units have to take a break test because the unit they are supporting breaks, you also have to deduct the difference in casualties from the result.

Nice battle! I’m still deciding on this scale or 28mm. The Roman units look a bit too boxy for me. I have painted some 28mm for Clash of Spears those were fun to paint.

Just discovered this channel as I was interested in the Crusader figures from more than a year ago and love the way they were based, etc. I have to comment that these 15mm look less pleasing than the 28mm. I do get it, however, that from a gaming experience, it might be more fulfilling to have more units on the table. My other comment concerns the rules. HC, seem to have a Games Workshop genre to them... at least that is the impression l am getting.

I have to say I feel for you in these battles because the dice are almost never in your favour. Props to you for not letting it get to you while you’re playing though

Great battle, Robin's saving throws and your knack of rolling double 1s continues to confound the laws of probability! I've been on a mission to paint up my Hannibal starter set since July, I have 2 divisions and a bit of Carthaginians, and 1 division of Romans and still sticking with it. In fact I could probably have a similar sized battle to what you and Robin played with a judicious use of allies, just the inspiration I need to keep going - thanks!

Keep up the EPIC good work. I’d love to buy into this, but having just finished Reb epic ACW the thought of more little bases drives me a bit spare.

I have been waiting for this! I might go all in on epic hannibal because of you all

Libyan infantry have long spears and deny the charge bonus to hit.

Great battle report as always! Models and board looking great again. Quite liking the scope for mass battle on a normal size board this scale allows, only issue for me is my eyesight is a challenge even painting the Gallic wars! We have a similar deployment event where your commander had been fed false information so your opponent gets to redeploy one of your units.

Exciting battle and very well presented. You knew just how to edit it. Didn't know about flaming swine before. I'll have to Google that up!

Great game guys. I think Martin will soon field just a Gallic army as soon as the troops are painted

One of your best battles. Excellent.

I've been using these a fair bit, and find the paint flow a bit on the high side, so they are more like a loaded brush than a conventional felt tip or Sharpie, so you have to be careful not to flood areas. I personally find the tips a bit on the big side, as I think most people will be using them for detailing, rather than big slabs of colour. It might be nice for AK to offer a finer tip version. As for the metallics, AK offer a different range in silver, gold, copper and old bronze, but unlike the "Real" series, these are more like real metal, so the silver is actually chrome, and the gold is very bright. The other two are somewhat more "granular" and less reflective, but all are very useful and can obviously be dulled down with a bit of wash.

Are these regular Incendiary Swine, or the eco-friendly reusable ones? 🔥🐖🔥

Hi. I have a Hail Cesare question. What size bases do I need for Germanic warriors .. or any other Romes enemies for that matter Thanks Chris

Ive now played these rules 3 times now - solo - all three games ended prematurely IMHO - VP system is too rewarding and needs to be scaled back to allow more action on the game table, maybe no VP awarded for melee wins, rally and or disruption = no bases. Alternatively arbitarily mutiply the VP break point by 1.5 or 2. Otherwise I do like the feel of the game and the bursts of action with consec special events cards. Some house rules coming me thinks.

awesome battle report. can i ask everyone where is the long haired mats from? Will we see another Black Powder game this Christmas with Hayley?

What is the point v a brush? I don't get it

Have you considered GDA2 at all?

Great stuff, I think these will also make good Australian bushrangers

i am building a 28mm small british army of the Zulu war. How many figures should i have per company? So its to scale?

quick non fighter question which type/code/sizes of Big red bat bases did you use for your English civil war infantry regiments and cavalry

My local game store has a saga night, I'm interested as i already have Viking models, but reading the rules, I'm blown away by how simple it is compared to something like Warhammer.

Excellent episode, Midgard sound really good and what a good chap James is! Thank you.

It's a pretty crunchy game with lots of mechanics and interesting crew skill checks. I like how you need to carefully plan what ammunition to load, as there is a significant time delay (except for a light tank) before ammo selection and the round being loaded and ready to be fired. Can this game be integrated into a game of Bolt Action, or are the systems unable to be combined into one epic battle of armor and infantry?

Excellent show - seems James and I had very similar childhood interactions with the original Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Fighting Fantasy books and Rogue Trader in the 80s, with the small difference being he went on to be an acclaimed rules writer and I didn't! Really looking forward to giving Midgard a go, hope you'll be doing some battle reports

Hi just starting a new ECW army found big red bat bases , but what sizes do you buy for your infantry and cavalry
