It`s not just a book, it`s a volume of knowledge about Greek mythology, dotted with fantastic elements, a very solid and proven set of rules, a large portion of painted figurines (it`s a miniatures game, after all) and much more. War Gods of Æegyptus is a set of rules for fighting table miniatures in a pseudo-historical Egypt of the Bronze Age. Wargods of Ægyptus is a 220-page book designed by Chris Fitzpatrick and Allen Thomas and published by Crocodile Games in 2001, when 25mm metal figures of all the fighters mentioned in the book were simultaneously offered for sale, so that players could then collect and paint for use with the rules of the game. Crocodile published a second revised edition of the book in 2002. „WarGods of Olympus is a complete system of miniature combat rules for playing mythical battles in ancient times. Create a demigod, a child of one of the gods of Olympus: and lead a troop of mortal warriors into battle. Or if you feel monstrous, create a Titan war gang, the enemies of the gods; and destroy your mortal enemies under your scaly feet! We have also published a 2-page excerpt from WarGods of Olympus that includes the rules and background of the Mother of the Snake. You can read them here: WarGods of Olympus is a game for 2 or more players that recreates those battles from ancient mythology with metal miniatures on a table. This book provides you with the rules and backgrounds you need to play the game with the forces of Hellas and allows you to start collecting and painting your own crocodile game miniatures war troop. The clean and clean molding, incredible details and elegant lines really make it a piece of beauty. As usual, the miniature is full of mythological references, just look at the owls carved on the hilt of the sword, knee pads and coins holding the cape in the detailed photo below. Theseus was responsible for the synoikismos („living together“) of the political union of Attica under Athens, which was symbolically depicted in his working journey, subduing ogres and monstrous beasts such as the Minotaur of Crete. Because he was the unifying king, Theseus built and occupied a palace on the fortress of the Acropolis, similar to the palace excavated in Mycenae.
The Hydra miniature was sculpted by Chris FitzPatrick and is about 5.5 inches long (or about 140 mm). It is a multi-piece resin kit and includes 5 heads, 1 body, 2 legs, 1 tail, 1 resin stage base and 1 laser-cut wooden play base. The miniature was carved and cast by Trenchworx`s resin experts, and they did a great job capturing the serpentine details of the original sculpture. The miniature is delivered unpainted and requires some assembly. Once the armies have been installed on the table according to the scenario, combat uses a command system where players secretly issue orders for each unit of the army. Players roll by initiative, and the winner can activate 1-3 units, which can be his own or those of his opponent. Tasks for activated units are then revealed and actions are executed. [2].
