Of Gods and Mortals is a set of skirmish rules for mythological miniature battles. Players each control 10-20 mortals, 1-3 legends (monsters, heroes, or priests), and 1 god. Gods are powerful but will disappear when the faith of their troops is reduced to zero. Gods are also best used in combat against each other. However, on certain results of the dice, the power of a god explodes, hitting all mortals within range. Legends have the ability to swear an oath or make a boast. If the objective of the oath or boast is met, that legend’s army receives a morale boost.

Among Osprey Publishing’s other recent miniature war game releases are:

• On the Seven Seas—for the Age of Piracy but covering boarding actions and land-based combat.
• A Fistful of Kung Fu—for Hong Kong martial arts movie action.
• Across a Deadly Field—for large scale American Civil War battles using regimental scale units.
