Between 58 BC and 50 BC, the military might of the Roman Republic waged a brutal war on the Gallic Celt tribes living in the lands of Gaul. What the Gaul warriors lacked in the drilled discipline of their Roman foes they more than matched them with in ferocity and individual fighting prowess. The Gallic Wars, a deadly clash of cultures and military doctrine, would shape Western Europe for centuries to come, and is more than a fitting subject for our new Hail Caesar starter set. Gaius Julius Caesar’s aggressive campaign would ultimately end with Gaul being subsumed into the Roman Republic, and ensure his name would become legendary.
The Caesar’s Gallic Wars starter set gives you two starter forces: the barbaric Gauls and the legions of the late Roman Republic – a fantastic start to your campaign to conquer all comers and write your name in the annals of history! In addition to the fantastic models it contains everything you need to play the game (dice, counters etc), and a Gallic Wars introductory guide which not only provides context and history for the battles concerned, but guides you through the steps of collecting, building and gaming a Hail Caesar army. We’ve also included an A5-sized Gamer’s Edition of the new rulebook, a conveniently stripped-back version that concentrates purely on the game mechanics, which is perfect for quickly referencing rules in the throes of battle. It makes a fine companion to the main rulebook.
The new box contains:
Softback A5 Hail Caesar Gamer’s Edition rulebook
Gallic Wars introductory guide
80 hard plastic Gallic Celtic Infantry
48 hard plastic Caesarian Roman Infantry
Celtic and Roman waterslide shield decals
12 6-sided dice
Reference sheet and casualty counters
