Teams

The Battle is for two teams, each of two Gladiators.

Victory Conditions

Arena and Deployment

The arena is 9 x 9 squares. Each Gladiator starts at the mid point of one of the arena edges, with his team-mate directly opposite him. The central 3 x 3 squares are raised terrain. The 2 x 2 squares in each corner are hazard squares (spike pits). Any Gladiator that enters the hazard squares is immediately taken out-of-action.

Special Conditions

This scenario has the "No Surrender" rule.

Designer Comments

This is a simple and straightforward battle, excellent for introducing new players to the rules. The key strategy here is to bring your pair of Gladiators into the middle ground as soon as possible, where they can watch each other's backs and benefit from the raised terrain. The raised terrain is also important for protection against ranged attacks.
