God of Battles is Jake Thornton's new fantasy wargaming rules, in which players command armies of model soldiers to battle against each other across Aren’s troubled lands.

 God of Battles is a mass combat game rather than a skirmish game, though for that kind of game the model count is fairly low. Typical small armies would be about 50 models. Though what makes this game unique is the fact that it it is driven, with details like weather, baggage camps and scenarios.

 To quote Jake Thornton "Game play focuses on commanding an army rather than the minutiae of what length of spear each individual warrior has. It has simple rules that allow you to concentrate on what you want your army to do, not which sub-paragraph of the rules you need to argue about to do it. However, in my normal style, I have hidden a considerable amount of tactical depth and tricky decision making under this apparent simplicity.

 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."
