Thanks gents.  :)

It's just a sand and light grit mix, Pete. I sprinkle it on rather than dip them in the mix so it's not too thick.

Had a few games at the weekend. It was entertaining and despite starting well, my gladiators' heads were smashed in.

We managed to remember most of the rules by the second game.

Nice to see you‘re continuing work on BotS. Any chance to get those Quick Start rules outside of bespoke FB group?

In Blood on the Sands, there are six distinct gladiator classes, known as armaturae. Understanding the nuances that differentiate these classes might be challenging for those unacquainted with the game. To bridge this gap, I've created a guide to help identify the distinctions between each class.
