Chariot Race

Last night at the club Dave hoisted a chariot race.  Could I repeat my previous win?  Eh no...

 I'm in the red chariot, red to "go faster " or that's what the used chariot sales person said. 
Ha!  What a waste of denarii!

 Then I got whipped by a fellow racer and lost my whip, 
but luckily I had a whipping boy to give me an extra whip.  

 Coming up to the last circuit.
The field is still open.

The Finish.

  1. About a zillion years ago I bought a shop's entire stock of Airfix Romans - 6 boxes. Many years later I painted up a DBA Roman army out of them. The chariots, of which I had far too little appreciation I gradually lost. By the time I figured out a use for them (chariot racing!) I had one left. One of my less integellent non-decisions... Your game looks like fun, and the arena just the thing.

    1. Dave tends to ïmprove"his rules with each session. The arena he purpose built and it is good to see it get use. The chariots are all his (15mm). I've been meaning to do one of my own, but just created a single 20mm chariot from the Airfix Roman set.

      One chariot a race does not make :-(

      I purchased up the chariot racing rule set Fast and Furious, but I'm yet to get moving.

      Game was fun and very beneficial as it brings club members and visitors together in ways that our normal highly fractured club gaming doesn't. On Wednesday club nights most games are just two players and rarely are the same rules, periods, scales in use.
