That said I do like the Confrontation 3 rules.<br /><br />I think a limitation of gladiator games is the set 'classes' and the rather bare empty arena. Terrain is important to any game and gladiator games have less than most. A circular, uniform arena kinda takes away a prime tactical component.evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-11123297226409179292012-06-03T21:43:24.474-07:002012-06-03T21:43:24.474-07:00Thanks for that, I follow his blog closely but som...Thanks for that, I follow his blog closely but somehow missed that post.<br /><br />I also see that there is now a Fantasy variant of Red Sand Blue Sky, called "Red Sand Black Moon" - not sure what the difference could really be apart from some different race characteristics and weapons perhaps. I would have thought that it would have been better as a variant for the main game...<br /><br />http://www.twohourwargames.com/redsablmofag.htmlPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-27097978649769596842012-06-03T05:18:28.592-07:002012-06-03T05:18:28.592-07:00Paul - Anatoli reviewed the Gladiator rules a whil...Paul - Anatoli reviewed the Gladiator rules a while back and I have little to add to his review.<br /><br />Basically it is GW's LOTR rules with the magic stripped out of it. Very very bland, in other words. The overall scope and campaign system is comparable but overall RS:BS is superior with more interesting gameplay mechanics. <br /><br />Oh, and the Gladiator rules are book pr0n - gorgeous hardbacked affairs, typical Warhammer Historical bling. They'll be OOP now...evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-79706769817145082612012-06-03T02:47:49.648-07:002012-06-03T02:47:49.648-07:00I would also love to see how RSBS stacks up agains...I would also love to see how RSBS stacks up against Warhammer Historical's 'Gladiator' rulesPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-5240207199534716912012-06-02T22:38:35.717-07:002012-06-02T22:38:35.717-07:00"I freely admit the B-grade slash-em-up Spart..."I freely admit the B-grade slash-em-up Spartacus inspired my gladiator interest" - you aren't the only one!<br /><br />Glad you liked them.
