Arena Games (2001)

Wargame rules that simulate Roman Gladiatorial Combat. Rules: The rulebook is an 8.5 x 11.0 booklet with photographs that illustrate the game being played. All charts and tables are included in the booklet. The hex grid card that comes with the rules can be used as a "start up" arena so that players can play the game without purchasing a hex board. Game Set-up: Each player chooses a gladiator and the figure's armor is noted. By using a very simple process, the gladiator's movement and save points are determined from what the miniature actually has on it. Once this is determined, the game can begin. Scale: Man to man skirmish. 1 Hex = 3-4 feet across. Intended for 25mm figures, although with a smaller or larger hex grid, 15mm or 54 mm figures can be used. Contents: The game consists of an 18 page rule book with gladiator and animal record sheets, a hex grid card for 25mm figures, a sheet of markers, and a gladiator tournament form.
