Meeples & Miniatures – Episode 92 – Augustus to Aurelian

Download Episode 92

Welcome to Episode 92 of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast

In this show I look at the recently released ancients ruleset, Augustus to Aurelian.

I speak to the Author, Phil Hendry, about the development of the rules, and give my own overview and review.

I hope you enjoy the show.

Good episode, thanks. I’m not really an ancients guy so I wasn’t totally captivated but it looks like this game is definately worth a look for 28mm ancients gamers. What’s the scale in terms of army sizes? More akin to Hail Caesar or more along the lines of Warhammer for instance?

Here! Here! Someone who finally get’s away from the dammed D6 (Excluding Force on Force).

Thanks that was very interesting (especially as I’ll be trying them on Sunday..)

Cheers, Simon

A very enjoyable listen. Nice to hear a focus on Roman Ancient Wargaming rather than broad brush Ancient Wargaming. I’m going to be giving them a try. Have been painting EIR army for some time and this really helps to focus efforts. I enjoyed the post-discussion ‘dissection’ too, I’m new to Meeples too and will be coming back for more.

Another enjoyable show but when the writer seems to argue that he’s bringing a new idea to ancients gaming with limited control over units I must question that. Ed Texeira was doing that effectively with Warrior Kings 14 years ago.
