I have been using Roman Circus<\/em> for light chariot racing games. \u00a0The rules are the right balance of beer and pretzels as well as what seems<\/em> to be a good representation of chariot racing. \u00a0I have been using reproductions of Marx Ben Hur<\/em> play set chariots in 54mm (see a previous post on this subject). \u00a0I wanted to replicate that game in 10mm for easy transport on airplane flights, etc. \u00a0While there are a number of manufacturers of accurate racing chariots in 10mm and 15mm, I was wanted that Ben Hur<\/em> look. \u00a0When I found the right looking chariots, they had the wrong drivers and vice versa. \u00a0I sent an Email to Richard at Magister Millitum. \u00a0He combined chariots from one catalog item with drivers from another. \u00a0I finished painting them this weekend, and made two tracks for them: \u00a0and typical oval one and one in a figure eight.<\/p>\n

These were inexpensive enough that I even ordered six chariots without horses or drivers to make wreck markers in the game. \u00a0All of this will fit into a single Really Useful Box, so I will likely bring the game with me to Historicon next weekend for pickup games.<\/p>\n
