Battle During The Crusades With New Soldiers Of God Rules
July 27, 2015 by brennon
Gripping Beast have added a new rules set to their webstore which would allow you to take your warbands from The Crescent & The Cross and use them in bigger battles. They seem to really love Soldiers Of God by Warwick Kinrade so let us know if you've played it too...
The game focuses on those larger battles during the Crusades and utilises a deck of action cards which not only keep the turn sequence flowing but also bring the game to life. We're always big fans of a game where you get to use something other than the standard rulebook and dice to play.
The rulebook itself is a glossy A5 sized affair packed with some very nice miniature photography and a look which is reminiscent of a Bible. You also get the cards with the book so you won't be searching around trying to find them. I think this looks like a nice natural extension of the SAGA format.
If Gripping Beast themselves are applauding it then it must be worth a punt!
Have you give this a go?

Got to be worth a look as it’s from the guy who brought us Battlegroup Normandy and Kursk although there will be those who know him more for Forgeworld Imperial armour books. Also a good reason to keep your Saga and Crescent & Cross models on square bases.
It’s not a reason to keep your Saga minis on square bases, it is a reason to buy more minis 🙂
Luckily I don’t need a reason to buy more mini’s when it comes to reason I’m beyond help. 🙂
Consider me sold.
Seen it at Bovington, looks good.
Heared so much good about his writing. Guess I gotta get some of his books !
Oooooh… so shiny! I don’t have a good medieval rules set yet.
Ooh I like the look of this!
Played the playtests with Warwick.
Hated medieval gaming before these rules…
Since playing the first game I have bought a Muslim army and buying Crusaders next!
