"Your Favorite Fantasy Mass Combat Game?" Topic

Have we ever run a poll about this topic? I can't recall it. Might also be nice to run one about favorite fantasy mass combat scale.

My favorite has always been Warmaster. I like the command and control aspect. I wish it were a bit more generic. I've never played it using 10mm miniatures, only the paper counters I made years ago for the WM yahoo group. With the OG15s sale, I am going to try using it for 15mm fantasy, using the improvements in the Ancients book. I have a feeling that Warmaster is not being played as much anymore?

Warmaster for me too. Best game I've played by far for mass fantasy combat.

I've played it a ton and continue to play it, although not as much as I once did. But that would be almost impossible. We used to play it once a week or so for about a year or more.

I think I've used every race in the game at one point or another except Skaven and the new Araby army. I have armies of Kislev, Empire, orcs and gobbos, chaos, dark elves and lizardmen as well as my own list of Ogre Kingdoms.

I played TSR Battlesystem 2nd Ed over eighteen years and still think its a great ruleset. What I liked most about it was its flexibility. It also gave a DM the ability to incorporate a party 2nd Ed AD&D player characters into a mass battle fairly seamlessly. The one major drawback was high level Wizard spells which tended to grossly unbalance a game. Our solution was to limit the amount of damage the high level spells would do.

Salut y'all!

Love those counters btw.

Warmaster for me!

Pride of Lions…its easy to pick up on and you can push a LOT of lead without it bogging down. The Yahoo group will be open shortly and will contain the rules and such.

I must say Warmaster as well,
I'm even rebasing my 25mm Warhammer
stuff for Warmaster play as well.

C&C/Battlelore and Warrior Heroes are my favs.

I enjoyed playing Pride of Lions. Heard good things about Warmaster.

Armies of Arcana. I love it for the unit creation rules.

I still like Warhammer fantasy battle. I've played warmaster but just can't get into the smaller figs and I like having heros have some affect on the battle other than just ordering guys around. That makes sense, I guessk, for hyuman armies but chaos generals should be able to pwn some of their enemies up close and personal.

Warmaster's the tops for its scale. When you get up to 15-28mm, I start liking Armies of Arcana more. Not the only good games in the genre, but my top picks.

Add Age of Might and Steel. It's my favorite!

slightly biased.

The only one I ever played with any regularity was AD&D battlesystem. Had tons of fun with that one back in the day.

We play 'Supreme Warlord: Blood Lust Tactical Rules'

Hordes of the Thing

I've always liked Fanatsy Warrior's.
