I have some 15mm projects waiting to get sorted and a very old Mongol army
Projects are Ancient Egyptian, Mycenaean // Minoan Greek and enough bits and bobs Assyrian or sea people force.
It is what us WRGers would call book 1.
There are references that all the forces (Assyrian pretending t be hittite) would have fought each other.
Do really like FoG over WMA

Any one got Hail Caesar and is it better than fog?

I have hail Caesar and I found it v easy to play. Not played fog but when I read the rules it was not as simple to grasp from the book.
Hail Caesar, bolt action, black powder and mantic share a lot of the mechanics (or did) bolt action less so, but you can read a similar creative process.
To me fog seemed more like the old wrg rules or dba. (But I speak without having played fog)

Yes you can follow FoG from its WRG then DBA then DBM/R routes in the seventies tango you liked Bolt Action I'm sure you will like Hail Caesar

I thought I could use them for ancient saga as well. Warlord figures are very easy to put together. All the arms are in position as are most of the weapons unlike bolt action that was a pain. have you got Hail ceaser rules?

tango I will show you some olde WRG reference sheets as part of the Educating Tango movie which I'm writing You may be interested to see how differently the game mechanics were back in my day Ah, average dice [no ones or sixes but an extra 3 & 4], page long morale tests, contestable movement broken down in to quarter turns and combat factors v figures fighting = men dead tables - those were the days my friend I wish they're never end we used to game for ever and a day

I have an old Oxford set for wars of the roses. Each model represents 33 men. Each action caused damage so essentially the model had 33 wounds... Much paper was used in the playing of those games...

Post by chillatbmth on Sept 4, 2016 12:49:11 GMT
33 wounds / men to a model
The Bruce Quarrie Napoleonic rules used the same scale, I wonder if that is a coincidence or not.
I was more used to a figure = 20 men

I think it was to do with basing 3 models to a base...

Found that printing the QRS after rotating it 90 degrees makes it readable (bigger).
Will bring some laminated copies for Monday [if printer does not die first]
