Noble Knight GamesDescription
Great Battles of Julius Caesar: Deluxe Edition is a reprinting of two classic Great Battles of History titles: Caesar: The Civil Wars, published in 1994, and Caesar: Conquest of Gaul, published in 1996 anad reprinted in 206, along with an additional eight battles published in their supporting modules.
Great Battles of Julius Caesar: Deluxe Edition traces the evolution of the Roman military system from early battles against various foreign foes, Caesar's wars in Gaul followed by Caesar's wars against his Roman rivals, and culminating with the Roman invasion of Britain a century later.
The scenarios vary in size from four large battles using 1.5 mapsheets, six small battles using a half mapsheet, and twelve using a full-size mapsheet. The counter mix includes 43 distinct cohort style legions, a host of specialty type auxiliary units, numerous tribal infantry and cavalry units, and some old favorites from SPQR - Elephants, Chariots, and even the double-sized Phalanx. Along with the typical set piece battles, several battles feature the use of fortifications, one an amphibious invasion Roman style, and one a full blown naval battle using a subset of the War Galley rules.
