Saga – Epirotes vs Syracuse
A great write up and interesting battle report :-).. thought I’d share it..
Saga Age of Hannibal has 3 Greek factions, the Epirotes, Syracuse and Italian Greeks. Although Pyrrhus came to Sicily to aid Syracuse they later fell out so here we have a battle between Epirus and Syracuse. They both use the same battle board but Pyrrhus has access to elephants and must field his phalanx as Sarissa. These move ‘short’ except when they charge. Syracuse can field old style hoplites who can move without restriction but do not have the short range shooting (or poking) ability of the Sarissa. The Syracuse leader has the ability to cast Resilience on a nearby unit once a turn. Unfortunately it cannot be combined with LEGACY OF THE ANCESTORS to upgrade a unit to Resilience(2). As the ability requires use of a rest activation and the Graeculi have no relevant reaction ability the Resilence cast will only be used in a friendly turn and only…

Saga Gauls
Here come the Gaul’s – another great post for SAGA the age of Hannibal, this is a Faction I hope to get into in the future and as such I found this really helpful
Memories of Asterix and Co’ as we look at the last of the Age of Hannibal factions. There are no rules for secret potions but gaining ‘Fervour’ gives units a useful if temporary boost. Gallic Saga advanced abilities can be improved by taking on ‘Fervour’ up to a limit of 3 per unit. If the unit is not able to take on ‘Fervour’ without going above the limit of 3 then that additional battle board benefit is lost. All ‘Fervour’ is lost when a unit is exhausted or it can be reduced through the TUMULTUS GALLICUS or PERSEVERANCE abilities. Unlike the guerilla markers of the Iberians some means of marking what ‘Fervour’ each unit has built up will be needed on the battleboard. In the game described below tufts mounted on plastic counters have been used. Green (1 ‘Fervour’), yellow (2) and red/brown (3) remember the ditty ‘what makes the…
