Hi Gang;

I have tried Kings of War and I am not overly excited about the game.  With the death of Warhammer Fantasy is there any other Fantasy Mass Battles game on the market?

thanks

Also Mayhem - very excellent.

I'd second the recommendations of Hordes of the Things and Mayhem in particular, and also add Sword and Spear Fantasy to the list.

The free basic version of Impetus Fantasy is still around and the commercial release  version is being written and tested currently.
Uses the mechanics of Impetus/Basic Impetus so is a great mass battle game. The magic in the basic version is a bit weak (but more extensive variants have been done).

Works by allocating unit stats from historical archetypes; so you can decide if your Fantasy "Knights" are like Sarmatian Cataphracts, Crusader Holy Orders, Renaissance Gendarmes or something else.

Units are single bases so reward diorama style basing.

May I ask why you don't like kings?

I'd recommend Sword and Spear Fantasy.

We continue cheerfully to play WHFB, however a few of us have tried The 9th Age and were quite happy with it.
My next try will be the Oathmark system from Northstar I think.
