Single Combat

"Seriously Tooled-up" 

Rudimentary scratch-built arena

"I want a good, clean, contest"

Light-Sabre vs Gladius!

If the official appears "blurry" then you have probably lost
your gladiatorial contest!
Today I decided to get my gladiators into action in order to test out Flagship Games' "Habet Hoc Habet" ruleset.  Mind you, since I only had a solitary Murmillo painted up I needed to get my finger out.  With due haste I therefore set about knocking up a modest training arena using a CD covered in textured basing compound surrounded by an improvised palisade.  At the same time I based up a Retiarius, a Crupellarius and an arena official to allow a bit of fisticuffs.  

Everything came together really quickly which allowed me to concentrate on the game.  I was looking to test whether HHH has all or at least most of the factors I consider desirable for small unit battles involving single Contubernia.  My plan would be to fight larger, multi-cohort battles using Augustus to Aurelian  dipping down to the individual Contubernia level using something akin to a modified HHH system.   A full report will follow in my next post.

Aye,

Rusty
