Warlord Games Announces New Edition of Hail Caesar

Here’s a game I’ve not thought about for a while, but it’s getting a rebirth over at Warlord Games. Hail Caesar brings together all manner of ancient armies and lets you pit them against one-another on the battlefield. You can check out the new rulebook in this preview.

From the article:

This week sees the much-anticipated arrival of the new edition of the venerated Hail Caesar rulebook. The original rulebook has served us well for over a decade, but the updated edition is poised to give it a new lease of life. The beloved core rules and mechanics of the game remain the same, but have been given a ‘tidy-up’ to make them even easier to use, with the book featuring fantastic new artwork and diagrams, giving it a more ‘modern’ appearance while retaining the character of the original. It’s not a new game – it’s a facelift and revitalisation! The gorgeous new cover art guarantees that you’ll want it in pride of place on your bookshelf, and the brand-new Richard the Lionheart special book figure (for those who order direct from the Warlord Webstore) will have you riding for Jerusalem in no time at all.

On the subject of new things… Whilst the new edition is mostly a revision and ‘glow-up’ (as the youth might say), there is plenty of new content to be found within. Expanded rules sections cover such things as more comprehensive rules for terrain, guides to pick-up games and actions against fortifications. Most excitingly for me, there are now full rules at last for later medieval warfare, particularly the Wars of the Roses and the Hundred Years War.
