Two Hour Wargames just released Red Sand Brown Sky, post apocalyptic gladiatorial fighting (or small skirmishing). You'll need Red Sand Black Moon to use this FREE supplement, but I think it's worth it. Red Sand Black Moon (and it's forefather Red Sand Blue Sky) are the best gladiator games I've ever played ... well, at least they're my favorite; they're gritty and brutal, and sometimes can end quickly if a fighter can slip in a good strike.
Why am I pushing this? 'Cause them's my peeps on the cover :) Honestly, though, I think this is a fun set of rules; how can you not enjoy bringing a chainsaw or flamethrower into the arena?
There's not too much bookkeeping (you just keep track of your own wounds and stats), and after a couple turns of going through the easy-to-use tables, everything just starts flowing and someone is dead before you know it.
If you already own Red Sand Black Moon, have a quick free go at Red Sand Brown Sky.
Note: I'm not getting paid or otherwise compensated for this post supporting these fine rules - except for the free copy of RSBrS - I just like what I like.
I hope there's a rule for showing mercy if you suddenly discover your masked opponent actually has the mental capacity of a 6-year-old...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your paint jobs being used for the cover. But then again, they are very good, and very unique.
Brilliant paint job (as usual)!

ReplyDeleteAnd thought of you...now I am getting tempted! About $60 gets all 6, nice figures...a bit pricey maybe.
Those are nice; I like'em! Price-wise, if someone is starting out, I think all you'd need is a few gladiators. All those figures, some dice and a THW ruleset will still be under $100. Not too bad for having everything you need.
