I've just done a review of Foundry's fantasy wargaming rules: God of Battles, by Jake Thornton.
Pretty good ideas in there, with some drawbacks.
Has anyone else done a review or used them ? A quick search of TMP and on Google finds nothing.
As I note in my review, I think there are some shennanigans going on with the release and distribution of these rules, anyone heard any scuttlebut ?

Could you post a little more on the army lists in the book?
I too am wondering about these rules. There seems so little information out there on them.

I'' have a look at posting some more on the army lists tomorrow. :-)

One went along to the games release event and that was great, the system holds up well and makes for a fun 1-2 hour game.

Have sent these details along to the editor for overal release so will edit it down a little for now but if this is of interest to you.

God of Battles release spawns Tag team

The release day for Wargames Foundries God of Battles event was a great success and saw gamers from various areas of the country attend and battle it out. The smooth and dynamic play of the game meant that several battles were fought out to a bloody conclusion, much to the enjoyment of those watching.

This small-key event saw the germination of an evolving idea, from the game designer jake Thornton and some enthusiastic gamers on the day leads to Foundry Arena.

Quote from Jake Thornton's Blog – quirkworthy.com
"…from now on we'll be having a God of Battles meet on the first Saturday of each month, at Foundry HQ in Nottingham.
"My idea is simply to play games of God of Battles with the various armies that I and others are building. Anyone is welcome and there is no charge. If you haven't played the game and want a demo then feel free to potter along and we'll show you how it plays. You don't need to bring an army as there'll be one about, I'm sure.
Alternatively, if you already have an army and/or know the game then the more the merrier. There are half a dozen tables to game on and lots of space so there's no problem fitting an extra general in. You don't have to come every time, just pop along when you can make it and fancy a scrap!
If we have enough regulars then I'll probably try out some new ideas I've got, mainly based around campaigns and more scenarios. As GoB is so quick we'll be able to get 2, 3 or 4 games each in a day, so a mini-campaign in a day is entirely possible.
Mainly though, this is just a place to come and play "

So exciting times with foundry
