| Some of my metal gladiator figures |
I was in town this morning and spotted the latest edition of Wargames Illustrated with a free sprue of 28mm plastic gladiators. These looked rather good so I bought a copy, which comes with a spliced down set of hex based rules called Blood on the Sands. The rules look decent but I already have about half a dozen to pick from and prefer a non-hex based system, so will probably just be stashed away. The figures on the other hand look like they would be a good match for my existing gladiatorial collection, giving me an excuse to dust them off and run some games with the sprog. I also have a very nice Sarissa Precision arena that I haven't built yet, so that might even get glued together when I find the time. Happy Days!
They look good - might have take a look in the local newsagents!
ReplyDeleteI would suggest playing a quick game of the Blood on the Sands rules if you have a moment—I tried a number of gladiator/arena skirmish games recently, and it stands head and shoulders above the rest.
