Hello!
I have been wargaming in different forms for over 15 years now. In recent years, this has included technical advice for rules, as well as playtesting and recently writing scenarios.
My partner and I have been wargaming together for half a decade now, and we have hosted games together at numerous conventions. We have also done a lot of playtesting, and through that have found gained a lot of experience at evaluating these things without letting our personal feelings get into it.
I personally would love to enter this contest, since I always like to do something new. Since we have not played any gladiator games in the past, this would be a chance to do so.
And it would give me a good excuse to finally paint those Gladiators I have! 
The Roman Empire and gladiators have held a huge fascination with me from my early youth, and it would be great to replay part of it!
Thanks!
