Roman Clash of the Titans

Another game at Eric the Shed's this week, and a rather special occasion as it saw the unveiling of 2 enormous Roman armies.  Eric and fellow Shed-er Mark have been building 2 ridiculously large Roman and Celt armies over the last year but their debut was obviously delayed due to Covid.

Monday saw their first deployment en masse on the table with a huge Roman vs Roman game of Hail Caesar.  There is a proper write up of the game on Eric's blog HERE and you'll also find lots of posts about the process of building and painting the armies.

My son and I were lucky enough to be the fellow players for the debut and it's fair to say Eric and I didn't come out of it with any glory....

Both armies deployed... there were even more figures that stayed off-table in their boxes!!

The 'Good' Romans...

... and the 'Bad' ones

As always Hail Caesar proved fun but very bloody.  The game was great fun but there was so many figures on the table it was hard to manage everything and remember which units had which stats.  But then if you have this many figures you need to have at least one game where all the toys come out to play!   Next week's game promises to be a bit smaller and more manageable.
