For those new to the game it is Jake Thorntons new Fantasy war game released min March this year, and designed to be played with two or more players using 28mm figures.
The Game play focuses on commanding an army rather than the minute intricacies of individual miniatures and what they are armed with.
The rules are simple enough to follow and easily allow players to concentrate on what you want your army to be doing, not like some systems which sub-paragraph whole categories of rules which players in the end argue over.
The rules may not be innovative but they are smooth, very creative and play well, with a hidden level of depth and tactical approach which makes it an enjoyable system. Leaders, musicians and standard bearers all have a point to play in the game and add not only interest but define how your unit works.
The system covers everything you need to play with no hidden extra issues like, must buy several add-ons to play and support the game.
Jake Explain in his blog "As well as all the basics of building armies and how to move and fight across the battlefield with them, God of Battles contains rules for miracles, weather, scenarios, camps, baggage trains, varying terrain and 10 complete army lists with over 20,000 words of background. It is a complete product in a single volume."
The combat system is based on the declare and then measure, so that makes for a fun (defender) and at times bloody (attacker) frustrating.
The point system means that you only need around 20-30 models to have a battle and have fun
