Shield Wall: The Dark Age Sagas Vol. 1

Hail Caesar

by John Lambshead

A notoriously unstable and rebellious member of the Roman Empire, Britannia was thrown into bloody coFootballict as the Western Roman Empire began to crumble. Axe, spear and sword became the dominant currency for those vying for control of the kingdoms.

Shield Wall is a supplement for Hail Caesar which introduces the main battles, armies and personalities of the Dark Ages in the British Isles from around 400AD up to 1000AD.

In addition to the traditional Hail Caesar massed battles the supplement introduces rules for smaller scale engagements between warbands as reflects much of this period. Shield Wall also contains campaign rules and several linked scenarios ­– from Badon Hill to Brunaburh.

The army lists are included for Limitanei, early and late Saxons, Romano-British, Welsh-Cymru, Irish, Picts, Gaels, Vikings and Irish-Norse.

A copy of the Hail Caesar rulebook is required to use this supplement. Miniature pictured with the book is not included.

[Michael Eklund · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a real nice, wellwritten book.
It has new lists for different sides, which seems well assessed. Nice pictures and maps.

I would have liked more proposed forces for each side in the scenarios. And some more AARs.
