Thanks to you both. I am liking the Spartacis series myself- talk about gratuitous...everything!

The casualties and crew are Crusader, the dwarf gladiators Foundry, with a couple North Star ostrich opponents. After I bought WH's Gladiator rules I painted up a menagerie of animal opponents for the venatores including hippos, elephants, crocs, and big cats. I originally wanted to call this " Boys, we just got beat by a bunch of goddam birds" but figured that was too long and wasn't sure if anyone would get the movie reference anyway.

Good luck going forward to both of you.

Great work, both of you!
