Jugula, and that one Black Hat Gaming now has (I can't remember the name). Both have some nice bits I'm keen to use, but until I've played them both I don't know which set I'd prefer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045647947653286477.post-6385425114613421272015-11-17T07:02:09.405-08:002015-11-17T07:02:09.405-08:00Thanks for the comment Ray, much appreciated.
I...Thanks for the comment Ray, much appreciated.<br />I'm currently using a variation of the old Avalon Hill "Galdiator" game rules - I;ve taken bits from "The General", "Billings variations" and the excelllent "Coliseum" variation from George Mendoza.= alll of these, save for the original rules can be found on BoardGameGeek as a download.<br />My campaign rules are mainly taken form an article in "The General" that combined "Gladiastor" and Circus MAximus", but with many of my own amendments.<br />My #1 son and I are still trialling many of the rule variations in the Mendoza variant and either adopting or discarding them for the originals or amending them to suit the game we want.<br />I've played a single velite (as above) against a heavily armoured opponent and it's tough going, but doable with the rules we useZabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045647947653286477.post-27773147707839371112015-11-17T03:15:14.791-08:002015-11-17T03:15:14.791-08:00Cool.

That is when I ever get around to starting my project. <br />What rules are you using, if I may ask?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045647947653286477.post-84166920260989373932015-11-16T15:56:04.577-08:002015-11-16T15:56:04.577-08:00Thanks Brummie, the figures have sufficient detail...Thanks Brummie, the figures have sufficient detail to make them a level above toys but at a toy price.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045647947653286477.post-32554601485898008502015-11-16T15:06:36.527-08:002015-11-16T15:06:36.527-08:00Nice work and the price is great for the size of t...Nice work and the price is great for the size of the figures. :)Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.com
