Another Battle Mat and Thanksgiving

Back in early September, I ordered an arena battle mat from Hotz Mats for Sons of Mars.  It finally arrived yesterday.  It's an attractive mat, though not as high-end as the Arena Rex mat I bought at Just Games two weeks ago.  I think I'll be using this for "Local" matches and the AR mat for "Regional/Festival" matches. 

I definitely recommend Sons of Mars for anyone looking for a fast and light game of Roman Gladiators, and the publisher, Gods Eye Games, is having a month-long sale on the rules and PDF packs of NPC gladiators and reference cards. 

Finally, for my fellow Americans, today is Thanksgiving.  All I'll say is may your plates be heavy and your hearts light today.
