Wargames Illustrated | Wi462 June 2026
We have a double whammy of freebies for you this month: A Gladiator Match sprue of four 28mm figures and a 32-page quick-start rulebook, both supplied by our friends at Dead Again Games, and both pertaining to their Kickstarter sensation, Blood on the Sands.
Your new Training Grounds quick-start guide offers the ideal jumping-off point for Blood on the Sands - a historically accurate tabletop gladiator game - and with only two gladiators required for play, you have everything you need to begin, along with the bonuses of a gladiatorial school owner and a referee!
To find out more about Blood on the Sands, and to take your games to the next level, visit bloodonthesands.com or scan the QR code below.
Blood on the Sands has inspired this month’s Business of Blood theme. We have three theme articles for you that feature sordid dealing and unsavory violence, set in the Old West, Renaissance France, and Medieval Mesopotamia.
We also have our annual Salute show report, with a look at the best games from Europe’s biggest wargames event.
