This weekend just gone I had two battles: one game of Hail Caesar courtesy of James Morris, and another against the snow and railway network to get from the south coast of the UK to Nottingham. The latter took twice as many trains as it should have, but the former more than made up for that as it was a fantastic day of gaming.
James' plan was to refight a Dark Ages battle at a ratio of 1:1 - quite some going. I can't say too much about it here, as the game is going to feature in a future special issue of Wargames Illustrated magazine www.wargamesillustrated.net. Instead, I'll offer up a couple of snaps of the British and Saxon armies that battered each other.
I had a cracking time and it was great to meet up with friends of old and new. A couple of their reports/photos can be found here:

Note to self: stuffing jumper pockets out with gaming stuff makes you look even fatter than you are...
Hail Caesar worked really well for the Dark Ages battle. What with this game, James and Steve Jones' Age of Arthur (Steve took part in this game too), Saga, Song of Blades and Heroes, Warmaster Ancients, Hordes of the Things, my new Dux Bellorum on the way and old Glutter of Ravens: Warfare in the Age of Arthur still around, there's plenty of good - and varied - choice for Dark Ages miniatures gamers right now. Wonderful stuff!
