Wargames Illustrated 462

We have a double whammy of freebies for you this month: A Gladiator Match sprue of four 28mm figures and a 32-page quick-start rulebook, both supplied by our friends at Dead Again Games, and both pertaining to their Kickstarter sensation, Blood on the Sands.

Your new Training Grounds quick-start guide offers the ideal jumping-off point for Blood on the Sands – a historically accurate tabletop gladiator game – and with only two gladiators required for play, you have everything you need to begin, along with the bonuses of a gladiatorial school owner and a referee!

Blood on the Sands has inspired this month’s Business of Blood theme. We have three theme articles for you that feature sordid dealings and unsavoury violence, set in the Old West, Renaissance France, and Medieval Mesopotamia.

We also have our annual Salute show report, with a look at the best games from Europe’s biggest wargames event.
