Age of Hannibal Siege Warfare Tutorial

This tutorial video explores the siege warfare mechanics in the new ancients rules Age of Hannibal. While most battles in the game will not be sieges, this is a fun option to help re-create iconic moments like the siege of Syracuse or Jerusalem. The rules also allow defensive-minded players to create their own custom fortifications for a non-historical siege! The siege rules are only a few pages long and offer wargamers a fun opportunity to do something different.

Any chance of more content with these rules? More tutorials, or a really in-depth battle report to get more of a feel for the mechanics would awesome!
Very inspiring either way, keep up the good work!

Bought the fortification pdf and downloaded the free buildings, and I have to say it's a very clever system and looks great too!

[@LittleWarsTV]

Thanks, Justin. We wanted something cheap, versatile, and modular and have used it to great effect in our club. Hope you get as much mileage out of the system as we have!

[@ben_has_hobbies]

Very inspiring! Your videos always get me back to my hobby table for an extra mile.

[@philRminiatures]

Awesome! WOnderful buildings, walls, siege machines, ships, and mecanisms...Looks realistic and superb, inspiring video!

[@LittleWarsTV]

Thanks, Phil. We've always talked about doing big sieges in the club but never found a good system that made them interesting. So we wrote one!

[@philRminiatures]

...and so nicely illustrated!

[@steveholmes11]

Superb cityscape. I'd never have guessed it was paper. - Great job!

[@LittleWarsTV]

Thanks! Hard to beat the price of paper.

[@talesfromshedhq5208]

Did you scratch build all the siege equipment? They look fantastic 😀👍

[@redmist1122]

Very cool option for the rule system.

[@ThePatureaux]

Great system, I hope you will develop a similar one for the Vauban fortifications and the European siege warfare of the Great Century

[@jeffhess4650]

Paper tower-and-wall system looks very adaptable for 7 mm GDW System 7 Napoleonics for the various siege battles during the early 19th century Peninsular War.

what a Stunning table

[@LLULL-yn1rr]

Spectacular ...

[@chrisc.2591]

What figure miniatures were used (and killed) during the making of this video?

[@thetatn1113]

It's like total war tabletop, epic

[@garyclark8539]

How about a tutorial for building the siege equipment.

[@talesfromshedhq5208]

Fantastic thanks chaps. When will the buildings be available it says coming soon?

[@LittleWarsTV]

Buildings will be available for FREE this week on our website. And yes, we did scratch build some of the siege equipment! The rest was purchased from Irregular!

[@GI.Jared1984]

Cool 👍

[@thesebastanian567]

Can you make a video on more modern siege wargames?

[@benjialvarez5560]

You should do a battle of Stalingrad

[@lempereurzoom1374]

Thanks for this very good video!
Who sell the siege equipment see here?
Thanks for help!
😃

[@LittleWarsTV]

Some of it is scratch built, but most of it is from Irregular Miniatures in the UK!

[@lempereurzoom1374]

@@LittleWarsTV Thanks for information! 😃

[@talesfromshedhq5208]

You mention watching your Carthage battle. Is that one of the future games?

[@LittleWarsTV]

This Thursday we'll be posting a mini-episode of sorts. It's a shortened version of our typical wargame episode, but yes, it will be the great siege of Carthage!

[@BoerChris]

I found a link on your web page for the fee buildings, but I can't find one for the walls, towers and gatehouses. Would be happy to pay the $8 for the download.

[@BoerChris]

Found it now!

[@zachjones2443]

Can we get 28mm for these

[@lilboydafriend]

i would shy away from fire arrows if i were you. they are extremely historically inaccurate, as, even with modern technology flaming missiles fired from a bow are not viable or realistic

[@NathanielWinkelmann]

I am not a fan of fire arrows myself but I can see their place in a fast and loose beer and pretzel game. Kind of gaming out old Studio era epic films rather than history.

[@steveholmes11]

Used correctly they'd be aiming to get something flammable burning (haystack, thatched roof), big area targets where diminished accuracy is accepted.
Definitely avoid the Hollywood flaming arrows, aiming to set people on fire.
