Sons of Mars is up for sale and North Star is running an offer that when you purchase the rule book you get a free set of gladiator miniatures. Check it out: link |
Neal Smith | 25 Jul 2018 8:52 a.m. PST |
Ordered! Along with some other stuff… Is/was anyone in US selling the rules? I didn't see anything obvious. Basically got free shipping with the figures, so no worries! |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 25 Jul 2018 9:20 a.m. PST |
Neil, thanks for the support! Let me know what you think once you get the chance to look the book over and roll some dice. North Star is handling the distribution for now and I'm not sure if they are going to open up other channels to order from here in the US down the road. Once I find out for sure I'll put out the word. |

Hi Joe We didn't discuss the US distribution. Drop Mark an email, but our usual partners are Brigade Games (with their own splendid Gladiators) and On Military Matters. If you're OK with us selling as normal in the US, I'm sure those guys will bring Sons of Mars in. Nick |

Thanks Nick, I'll send Mark an email today! |

@Nick – I'll probably be getting some more gladiators later, but just wanted to say I'm still amazed by the variety of stuff you have access to! Especially, since some of it's even cheaper than buying it from the US distributors… ;) |

Brigade Games USA have placed their order for Sons of Mars |

Awesome, barcah! Be sure to throw some feedback my way once you've had a chance to try it out and thanks for the support :) |

Ordered from Brigade games. |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 30 Jul 2018 8:03 p.m. PST |
Nice. Do they have it in stock yet or is still preorder? |
GGouveia | 31 Jul 2018 11:14 a.m. PST |
Pre-order. I assumed you being from the US the quickest would be quicker. I assumed North Star would have it after. Oops. |

Any idea when the download will be available? Need to print some of the tables to help with play. |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 05 Aug 2018 8:16 a.m. PST |
I'm currently working on finding a host for the PDF file. Hopefully it will be squared away in the next few weeks. What tables did you need printed? |
barcah2001 | 05 Aug 2018 9:55 a.m. PST |
The NPC combat tabes, victory/defeat, the list of weapons with abilities and the gladiator abilities. I print them back to back color coded and have them plasticized to speed play—- along with the basic fast play sheet. Did the same for Red Sand: Arena. Too frustrating to keep turning pages!" |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 05 Aug 2018 11:10 a.m. PST |
I'll try and get that up and running ASAP so you don't get all of those paper cuts turning the pages :) |
barcah2001 | 05 Aug 2018 12:55 p.m. PST |
Ha! Paper cuts are a daily gamer's hazard: we who are about to be cut salute you! I just want have the game flow smoothly and quickly so I can concentrate on the tactical finesse you've built into the game rather than page location. Mark |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 05 Aug 2018 4:53 p.m. PST |
I totally understand that. Staying focused on the game itself is tough if you're needing to flip through pages occasionally. |
barcah2001 | 05 Aug 2018 5:03 p.m. PST |
I'm find it enjoyable and absorbing—-good feel with a differentiation of the types like I havened thought of before |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 05 Aug 2018 7:35 p.m. PST |
I tried to keep a very historical feel but still give players the flexibility to have different load outs and play styles within each class. I'm really glad you are enjoying it, its a lot of fun seeing the community start to grow this quickly. |
barcah2001 | 06 Aug 2018 3:32 a.m. PST |
Played several games now and continue to do so. This is now my favorite gladiator game. Like all gamers, have some ideas for tweets and home rules. Are you going to set up a site to collect ideas? |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 06 Aug 2018 7:19 a.m. PST |
Someone set up a facebook group that has about 80 members at the moment. So that might be the place to go. |
barcah2001 | 06 Aug 2018 7:20 a.m. PST |
Love the spell check: should be tweak not tweet |
Joe The Acceptable Casualties | 06 Aug 2018 7:54 a.m. PST |
Sons of Mars PDF Rule Book is now available at Wargames Vault. link |
barcah2001 | 06 Aug 2018 8:00 a.m. PST |
What is the Facebook group called? Sons of Mars? |
