Munera Sine Missione Rules for Gladiatorial Combat
(v2.2) – see to adding action points for spending on things like initiative,
heroic gesture/attack, and the fickle plebeian crowds. So plan orders by
spending action points then act these out? Add more character special events
actions like invoking the gods or insulting the enemy etc and wounds which
then effect movement and the like. Make cards with stats matching each figure
create characters? Gladiator
Avalon Hill also see owned general Magazine with additional rules. Try get EM4
Minis Ludus Gladfiatorius 2 has additional figures and rules. |
Atlantic/Nexus,
Still need Orion, Pegasus and Italeri. Need to consider making a hex grid
arena. Have
minis from EM4 Minis Ludus Gladiatorius 1 – 28mm. |
