Spartacus the first season is excellent, followed by the excellent prequel half-season (part two).

However I lost my interest in the last two seasons...when the characters changed and it was no longer gladiator based. Also by that point most of the best acting talent was killed off.

My wife didn't enjoy the last 2 seasons either, mostly due to Andy dying and a new actor taking over as Spartacus. I still enjoyed them, but Season 1 is by far the best.

The two great houses of Malamutius Calvus and Medicus Mortem met tonight and decided to favour honoured guests with two matched pairs: Thraex Vs Myrmillo and Myrmillo Vs Hoplomachus.

The Thraex Vs Myrmillo was a long drawn out fight with the Thraex being forced to surrender after becoming exhausted due to sustained injuries and much bleeding. The Myrmillo was almost at the point of exhaustion too but was lucky with having a higher stamina (level four). The crowd were happy with the match and granted Missio to the Thraex.

The second match was a quick, brutal and bloody affair. The Hoplomachus gained the upper hand early with a couple of well timed jabs with his spear, resulting in wounds for the Myrmillo. But out of nowhere the Myrmillo replied with several well timed attacks and two wounds to the stomach of the Hoplomachus. Two stumble rolls later and the Hoplomachus lay dead stabbed in the vitals in front of the stunned crowd who expected to see a repeat of the first bout.

1-1 draw at the end of the evening. Both Houses were content, especially after pizza and home made gelato.

Still loving the game Frank,hugely enjoyable.

Two good games. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly the rules came back to mind given we've had a prolonged break from the them; sign of a good set of rules!

Ice cream was good too, chocolate with a dash of expresso, served with fresh strawberries:

MalaGelato, ice cream for the discerning palette

Thanks for sharing gents - that makes me very happy to hear.

There are some considerable changes to the Actions, along with a few other little things like, Heavies now receive a 6 Armour Save to their left leg (thanks to Elbows) and how Fame works for example.

After a few more things are tidied up I'll try to get you the latest version.

Malamute · « **Reply #729 on:** May 13, 2015, 11:10:52 PM »

Looking forward to seeing the changes.

Any word on when this would come out? Still kicking myself for not jumping in on the playtesting and can't wait for the rules to come out.

Sorry for the thread necromancy...

What's up with the posts here? Is there any new info?

Furt has been having some issues with the distributor/publisher, they were goading into him turning it into a board game. He wasn't a happy chappy last I spoke to him
