View full detailsHail Caesar – Aegean States Armies
Bring the heroes of ancient Greece to life on the tabletop with Hail Caesar’s Aegean States armies. From Mycenaean warriors and Trojan heroes to city-states like Athens, Sparta, and Thebes, the Aegean States embody the disciplined hoplite phalanx, cunning tactics, and heroic legends that defined early warfare across the Mediterranean world.
1. Who are the Aegean States?
The Aegean States refer to the ancient civilizations surrounding the Aegean Sea, including Mycenaeans, Trojans, and the later Greek city-states like Athens, Sparta, and Thebes. They are famous for their role in mythology, early warfare, and shaping the classical world through innovation in tactics and strategy.
2. What types of armies can I build?
You can build phalanx-based armies with hoplites, light skirmishers, cavalry, and mythologically inspired heroes. Depending on the period, you can recreate heroic warbands of the Trojan War or disciplined citizen-soldiers of Classical Greece.
3. What tactics do Aegean States armies use?
Greek armies focus on maintaining tight shield walls (phalanxes), steady advance, and disciplined fighting. Some forces use missile support from slingers and archers, while cavalry is limited but present. Tactical patience, positioning, and coordinated attacks are key to victory.
4. Are Aegean armies beginner-friendly?
Yes! Their strong defensive formations and clear unit roles make them accessible to new players. They reward good planning and formation control rather than relying on tricky maneuvers or skirmishing, offering a solid and satisfying playstyle.
5. What models are available?
Warlord Games and other manufacturers offer full ranges for Ancient Greeks, including hoplites, skirmishers, cavalry, and heroes. Plastic box sets often provide great value, with options to customize shields and helmets to match different city-states.
6. Can I recreate famous battles?
Absolutely. You can recreate legendary battles like Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis (for naval extensions), and the Trojan War itself. Army lists support historical or mythological themed forces, depending on the flavor you want for your games.
7. How large should an Aegean army be?
A small force could be a few hoplite units and supporting skirmishers. Full armies often have multiple phalanxes supported by light infantry and occasional cavalry. Starter armies make it easy to build a solid core, expanding with specialty troops and named heroes.
