Yesterday I attended Leviathan, a small local wargaming convention, and was convinced to take along my new WIP gladiator rule set, Blood on the Sands.
I managed to have quite a few games and a couple of people even sat in to try them out. A lot of blood was shed!! The rules are progressing nicely and playtesting continues to iron out any unbalances. Gladiator fighting is a tricky business.

Although he put up a good fight the retiarius is defeated, but is granted missio. |

The mighty Livia, a descendant of Xena no doubt, over her fallen foe Dacum. |
