Back in the day I could have bought this model, but spent my money on the Atlantic Roman Army instead.

There's always a certain 'rock-paper-scissors' aspect to 1-1 fights such as gladiators, medieval tournaments, etc. I think it's more interesting to have a sort of meta-game, with players being the owner of a bunch of gladiators, and having bets on having them fight each other.<br /><br />An interesting medieval tournament melee game I once read had 10 or so fighters, and players drew a secret card who their winner should be. But when taking turns, any player could control any fighter. That gives a different dynamic to such games.Phil Dutréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607941040736764291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-83909855895912833882021-09-11T11:07:07.221+02:002021-09-11T11:07:07.221+02:00The light is a happy coincidence ;-)The light is a happy coincidence ;-)Phil Dutréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607941040736764291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-12374975160638489512021-09-11T08:51:07.309+02:002021-09-11T08:51:07.309+02:00Very effective light and shadows through the doorw...Very effective light and shadows through the doorways!<br /><br /> A building back from the dead after decades of dusty silence. <br /><br />Interesting article in National Geographic magazine this month on Gladiators.
