Hail Caesar: Rome's Conquest of the East

This mighty tome contains everything you need to bring the Mithridatic Wars of 88-63 BC to life on the Hail Caesar tabletop. Inside its covers you’ll find a wealth of historical background information covering Mithridates VI, ruler of Pontus, and his struggle against the increasing Roman domination of Asia and the Hellenistic world, as well as his allies, enemies, and battles, all accompanied by fantastic miniatures photography, informative maps, and gorgeous artwork.

The real glory of this book comes in its scenarios - a frankly astounding 70 of them - covering the three Mithridatic Wars from start to finish, with all manner of engagements from skirmishes to pitched battles to grand sieges detailed and brought to the gaming table. Full army lists allow you to field the forces of Rome and Pontus, and a host of new special rules lend the battles a truly unique feel. These scenarios are designed to be played either as standalone games, or as part of a linked campaign, and Rome’s Conquest of the East also includes a full map-based campaign system, putting you in command of mighty armies and fleets as war rages across land and sea!

When you purchase this book from our webstore, you’ll also receive the awesome exclusive special miniature, Young Caesar. Depicting the legendary Julius Caesar at a very early stage of his career during which he was active in the region as a staff officer, it makes for a fantastic centrepiece to any Roman force (either as Caesar himself or any other commander with a similar air of impending destiny!), and a great character study for painters to show off their skills.
