My new Ork ride for 1page40k
Got waxed in my second game of 1page40k by 2 Landraiders, decided it was time for some new wheels or tracks. Used some of the parts from an Ork truk kit that my wife got me and a SSU Dust vehicle.

2 More Hail Caesar games
So over the weekend and into Monday, we ended up playing a total of 3 Hail Caesar games in all.
First two games the Romans won pretty easily. Hard to beat the pilum and hv armor. By the third game, I had the Celtic villages hidden and ambushes scattered through the table. The villages would continue to produce warbands till the Romans put them to the torch. This was suggested by some of the players in Sundays game. Essentially it would keep the Romans moving rather than allowing them to just sit and take on all comers.
Worked well, Mondays game was a bit of a draw.
I really like Hail Caesar for big games especially at the smaller figure scales.
Some better pics of the figs.

Hail Caeser testdrive
So with the success of Black Powder among the group I decided to give Hail Caeser a whirl. Spent the last week rebasing a huge army of 10mm Gauls that Rick and I got from Bob Henderson a few years back. Ended up with some 22 Roman bases/units and 26 Gallic bases/units.
3 Roman Commands:
6 Vet Legionaires 2 Lt Allied Gallic Cav
6 Raw Legionaires
6 Auxilia ie Med Inf.
3 Gallic commands which would split 20 Warbands, 2 skirmishers, 4 Gallic Lt Cav
(each commander was in a village and would roll each turn for forces)
Roman goal was to destroy the villages, I modified the scenario from the Hail caesar rulebook.
Romans had some tight moments, but the Veterans held out long enough for the newly raise legionaires to get their act in gear. Roman Victory
Hope to run the same scenario tomorrow at a little get together and get some better pics/
