Caesar's Gallic Wars - Battle Report (Hail Caesar) - 01 Ambush on the Road 

“I assume you want to shoot with your scorpion?” “It would be rude not to” 😂

Great video - very glad to see a run through of the command phases. Looking forward to putting it all to use in Epic!

Yeah for Hayley! Always great to see you supporting the hobby.

If you don't have a commander called "Weetabix" in the next battle you're not doing it right.

Airwix will never not be funny. Great bat-rep sir. It has made me consider getting into Hail Caesar :).

Good stuff! It's been nice reading the rules then watching this. Going to take the dive into Hail Caesar with epic scale ourselves. Can't wait to make some reports too. Cheers!

Enjoyable game great table layout hello glad to see the bus is still winning looking forward to the next game🤠🤠🤠🤠

Great video you guys, nice explanation of the rules. Good to see Hayley again. 👍🏻

LOL ! The pursuit "a l'outrance" par excellence. Hayley gets promoted to be Murat ...

Who else looking forward to Hail Ceasar Epic scale?

Love this!!!

Fantastic guys!

Among my favorite battle reports for the channel - well done both! I think it’s very inspiring to watch the buildup of the painting and development of the starter set to this game. It makes 28mm Gallic Wars accessible to starters and veterans alike. I have watched several times, and laugh at how the veteran cohort is the one which doesn’t perform as well - funny. If I had a young person interested in the hobby, this would be the first video I would have them watch. Well done.

Great battle report as always! Loved it

Well, first of all, all of your battle reports are Premier League stuff - always incredibly good. Secondly, hands up, I really didn't want to enjoy this battle, thinking Ancients would just be so boring. How wrong could I have been ???? This was fascinating - so many twists and turns for such small forces and the ruleset doesn't appear to be brain damaging to learn. Respect to both of you - this was awesome and me thinks you are going to cost me a lot of money !!!! Take care.

Great Battle and …. Yeees she is back 👍 💪🤩. I like the battlereports with her the Most. Keep going 👌

Grand video guys and good to see Haley back too, always a pleasure seeing her bring her joy to your suffering 😋 And this very much felt like a true Roman vs Gaul game too. Caesars report on the Ambush at Wexbrunx: “The Gauls came at us from the sunken lane and the road. Centurion Decari leading the V Cohort of the XIII Legion took his men into a hill position above the road. From here he endured the attack of several hundred Gauls, holding his line and repelling several assaults, before reforming his position and charging down one mob and shaking another into infect. His casualties were minimal but the press of the day took stock on his cohort who could go no further in battle. As for the road, the Gaulic overall leader seemed to have the same idea as his companion in the lane, driving straight at us. The enemy’s Skirmishers came forward and seemed to drive Centurion Vorenus’s III Cohort back behind Maximal’s VIII Cohort - tho later aberrations seem to place this as a faint, to draw in the Gaulic forces. However, Maximal would lead his VIII Cohort against the Skirmishers defending the fallen trees and after driving them off, endured repeated attacks from two large hoards numbering thousands of Gauls with some support from the III Cohort. But at the battles precipice even I was forced to ride in. Taking over the VIII Cohort from the fallen centurion, I rallied its survivors, broke the main line and rode down the fleeing barbarians swiftly.” * notes from the Senate suggest that Caesars claims may be exaggerated.

Thanks for sharing ! Enjoyed the game.

Cracking video mate ❤

What's not to like here? First class presentation, table and armies...Superb!

Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus didn't show up because they were actually on the Aventine running their gang, and the two who were there were just body doubles.Pullo and Vorenus from wish.😂

Well done Hayley, good to see the Romans with a decent player showing how its done. Nice looking armies Martin. 👍

Nice One Guys, Great to see Hayley back at the table and continuing her long run of Victories. Many Thanks👍🍷

Another wonderfully entertaining and instructive battle report, and lovely to see Hayley back in the fray.

I do love the way you portray these battle reports.

Excellent report and video, superb explanation of the rules, well done indeed.🎉

Thanks, really good to see this support that shows how much game can come out of a smallish game on a domestic table with lovely 28’a.

Well done Hayley!

A great fun game guys ! Always good to see Hayley win the day 😊

Nice one, you roped the wife into playing. She must love you and make her laugh.

Just watched it again after missing the first 15 minutes of the live show. Absolutely cracking game guys. Look forward to the next one.

An excellent batrep with Hayley

An enjoyable hours viewing, nice to have the rules explained as you went along.

Great report and awesome victory from Hayley. Please bring back the IX Legion :)

Brilliant, Hayley is my hero, and this year should have a CrackCon 5 tee-shirt with her wargame victories on the back :).

Nice battle report, I liked Haley’s Adam & the Ants reference (Stand & Deliver 🤣). Odd stuff happens in games but there was a bit of a hmmmm moment when the small unit of skirmishers pushed back and disordered a unit of veteran Roman legionnaires and disordered the other unit behind them. They need quadruple pay this month! 😂

A beautiful table Martin, great looking hills....

Must be the best smelling Gauls ever

Cool 👍

Great Video guys, I'd love to see some more Gallics wars. Gives me good inspiration to keep painting mine. Stuck on Celtic Cav atm 😂

Great game throughly enjoyed it. Hayley got the better dice rolls😊

First of all, thank you very much for incredible wargaming content. I do really enjoy these videos. As a newbie in tabletop wargaming (i have never played it in person, only watched your battlereports and a lot of others), I must say I really enjoyed the first turns that really showcased the turns and how they work. I hope that you will be able to continue this and maybe for the whole of the future reports, but don’t misunderstand me - I still love the battlereports and will continue to do so, No matter how you do it. Again: amazing content 😊

I told you that was the face of a winner... Bet you wanted to swap out those dice around turn 4 It was a good game and a very entertaining battle report, so thanks to the both of you. Looking forward to more in the future.

Bellissimo campo da battaglia!!! un saluto da italia😁👍👍

Thank you for directing me to this video. I really enjoyed it. Drew a few similarities to black powder, which I enjoy greatly. Id love to get into the game, but do I go 28mm, or give the epic a shot. Any preference there?

Seeing that Caesar figure, it should really be called "Heil Caesar" 😂

Excellent game guys. Some truly abysmal dicing as expected 😅

The Romans who were defence behind the tree should have closed sheilds makes them harder to remove. More so when they are shaken etc

I really enjoyed this series on Caesar's Gallic wars. I'm going to buy the starter set. I guess that is why Warlord sent you the whole big box in the first place:). Question, What size bases did you use for both the Romans and the Gauls? I really liked the way they looked on the table. Thanks.

Nice one, glad your ‘winning’ streak is continuing Martin lol

Ahhh so Hayley has commandeered the pink CC dice . So has Mrs Dragoon

Interesting battle report, just seen the announcement for epic Hail Caesar. Thinking of picking it up as I’ve always liked the idea of massive battles during this time period. Are you thinking of collecting it?

I don't think it's fair to compare Robin to Hayley Martin. It all went to plan then Martin!! Why would Hayley not play out the final turn. Well done Hayley, good win.

Surely it's Hayl(ey) Caesar.

I really like the bases. Where did you get them from?

Surprised those Romans weren't wearing green

Any chance we could get a full tutorial on HC? Your video quality would be fantastic for a full on tutorial

Is the interlocking base, a DIY base or where did you get them from?

Hailey Romans, the 95th😂😂😂

Are the hills just stuff under the mat?

What is your source for roads?

what's the size of this table?

Nice to see Hayley back and supporting the hobby and still kicking your butt Martin , very good battle report look forward to more
