Description

A set of miniatures rules for gladiatorial combat to be played on a hexagonal mapsheet. For two or more players. There are three separate sets of rules included. Rudis 1 is basic hand-to-hand combat between small groups of gladiators. Rudis 2 is for larger and more spectacular combats. Finally, Rudis 3 is a set of chariot racing rules. A small print run (200 copies) was done by the Bradford University Wargames Society. The first Tabletop Games edition followed around 1976, with a second edition (as revised by the designer) released in 1980.
