Another game? Something Roman anyway.
April 17, 2019 at 10:49 am #1378648Well that was frustratingly light on detail… Worked well though, now I’m all intrigued… 🙂
April 17, 2019 at 11:01 am #1378659Maybe they’ve got the rights to do a game based on Simon Scarrows – Marco & Cato series of books?
April 17, 2019 at 1:12 pm #1378756Macro and Cato on the Tabletop would be incredible. They already sell minis loosely based on them fighting in the burning Gaul Village.
If they can take a Sharp Practice/Chain of Command style game and put it in Ancient Rome I’ll be a happy gamer.
If anyone hasn’t read at least the first three books they’re amazing and I would highly recommend them, they are all available on Audio book.
April 17, 2019 at 9:13 pm #1378860Some form of skirmish game as an answer to Gangs of Rome and Mortal Gods. Both have been rather successful so WG want a piece of the pie ?
As long as nice miniatures are involved I’m not against it ?
April 17, 2019 at 11:57 pm #1378892April 18, 2019 at 3:43 pm #1379182Will it have something to do with the string of games they’ve bought out using the old Wargames Factory sprues?
Project Z – Zombies and survivors
Test of Honour – Samurai and Ashigaru
Warlords of Erewhon – Skeletons and OrcsWargames Factory did produce a series of Caesarian Romans, Celts and Germans
April 18, 2019 at 6:31 pm #1379250Intrigued, is right. Something skirmish must be the guess, wonder what the model count will be.
April 18, 2019 at 7:00 pm #1379252I wonder if its a historical version of Erewhon
I presume for some people it will be
Veni, Vidi, Visa. I came, I saw, I did some shopping

The newsletter recently announced Bronze Age expansion for Hail Caesar! which includes skirmish rules according to the info on their website.
Age of Bronze – Hail Caesar supplement
but then … that’s not the right era for Roman troops, right ?
May 22, 2019 at 1:42 pm #1393504Another video posted on social media this morning. Can’t find it on youtube so I’ve linked the tweet.
Warband Combat in the Ancient World with Romans and Celts on the front cover.
May 22, 2019 at 2:00 pm #1393512Hopefully some new Roman sculpts on the way.
May 22, 2019 at 2:56 pm #1393558May 22, 2019 at 2:58 pm #1393561I’ve read that people think it might be Warriors of Anquity that Mongoose games and Victrix were going to do
May 23, 2019 at 12:52 pm #1393932If true, then it would use the Judge Dredd engine. Itself a decent resolution system.. i just hope the editing and obvious lack of playtesting that plagued JD (shame, shame, shame) will not follow over to SPQR. However, if it has a campaign system like JD.. I’m in like Flynn. Lots of ‘warband’ sized ancients games about now, or on the horizon (Mortal Gods, Clash of Spears, SPQR). Tho’ I’m still lamenting the loss of Warhammer Ancients.
