Hail Caesar

After spending so much time with the Soviets it was time for a different army, Hail Caesar! It has been a long time since I last played and it was a lot of fun.  Here is my Dacian army. Not fully painted but I will rectify that.














There were four of us playing. I teamed up with Ben and he was playing the Macedonians. On the other side was Vince playing the Spartans and Tom with his Romans. Here was our side of the table.























By round two the Spartans had routed my cavalry. But the Dacians are many and tenacious  and the infantry kept pounding away at the Spartans.















The Macedonia cavalry rolled a blunder and they turned and fled the field almost running off the board.














The pikemen look pretty fearsome.















After many failed leadership rolls I think it took close to two hours before the Romans and Macedonians got into combat.















It didn't bode well for the Romans who were dropping like flies and eventually fled the field. The Spartans had the upper had early in the game and it was hard to tell when the tide turned but eventually the Dacians wore the Spartans down and won the day.

  2. Yes, my army was the most painted. Thanks. I am working on the unpainted ones now. I will post pictures when I can.
