Tired and exhausted, the old champion of the ancients finally loses his way and falls to the blades of younger men. The crowd groans with disbelief but everybody knows the old champ has been off his game for years. His demise comes as no real surprise to the old veterans of the games.
Must confess that I did always like WAB. It brought the fun back into ancient gaming for me. It's only in the last couple of years that I wanted something more, and for me Hail Caesar came at just the right time - the fun of WAB but with better command and control rules. Your cartoon still made me laugh though! :-)

Great cartoon, sad but expected all the same.
