- In 101AD, Emperor Trajan invaded Dacia. At a location close to Tapae, the Dacians decided to make a stand. It was a hard fought battle and although the Romans won, they took heavy casualties. We decided to play this game to see if we could get the same result. Watch and see what happens.
Hopefully, the resolution is better on this video. Let me know what you think. 🤞
A friend and I are just building up our first armies to learn to play Hail Caesar. I am collecting Dacians and my friend the Romans, so this was very helpful. Just trying to get my head around how many models wide and deep Infantry units/Warbands should be, so close ups of your individual units would be great.
Haven't played hail caesar in a long time. At my club we play a lot of lion rampant.
So it's nice to see a huge board with a big army. Thanks for the upload
@@normtrooper4392 I play a lot of Lion Rampant, they are great for an evening club night, but to have the occasional big game is something I like to do. HS is a good set of rules and not too complex. The best out there for the bigger games I think.
A fine choice of armies Alec!
@@vonketteringham It’s nice to dig out the Romans every now and then. The Dacians are a good opponent as they do have decent cavalry which balances out with the strong Legionary.
That was a huge battle! Are they Victrix minis? Did everyone bring minis? Or, is that one or two player’s minis? All those minis are quite impressive! Nice video.
@@raykubeczka4412 A real mixture of figures, both metal and plastic. Most of my Romans are about 20 years old, Wargames Foundary I think, with some Warlord Games plastic mixed in. The Dacians are mostly Warlord Games and Victrix. As I say, quite a mixture. Not sure what Alan used, but I think they go back a while. So 95% were from myself and Alan, with Neil supplying the Roman allied division.
"My flank is broken. My centre is collapsing. Situation excellent I am attacking". A good fight. Regards to the resolution I watch on an ancient laptop so it doesn't really matter for me.
@@granddadsays29 haha, yes, a good game, despite getting thrashed. I was of course relying on the right flank winning it for us. 🤣
