Munera Sine Missione, Exagoni Libero Gladiator Rules

by

Munera Sine Missione, Exagoni Libero is a set of free wargames rules for gladiatorial combat. The author writes:

These rules are an adaption of Munera Sine Missione (v2.1) by Alan Saunders, 2002-2012, which were based on “We Who Are About To Die Demand a Recount” by Gary Comardo and published in Issue 67 of “Saga”. The special attacks were chiefly inspired by Chris Peers’s Gladiator combat rules in the Foundry Miniatures Compendium.
Main differences are :-
1. I have adapted the game for those that do not have a hex mat or prefer to play
without one.
2. “Strength” renamed “Stamina”.
3. Spear and Lasso ranges increased.
4. I have added the Arbelas, Scissor and Murmillo as fighter classes. Rules for the
Arbelai and Scissores’s special weapons have been added.
5. Modifiers on AP or Attack roll have been repeated in the weapon descriptions to
speed things up.
6. Rules for the Galerus have been added and changed slightly.
7. An Appendix of “Special Attacks” added and relevant modifiers for Appealing to the Crowd added to that table.
