Nice report. Our club also likes KoW (though we play in 28mm) and our observations are similar to yours. We were also skeptical of the rigid IGOUGO system, but we have come to appreciate what it does for speed of play. It doesn't surprise me that KoW works well at smaller scales. The rules read (to me) like a 15mm game that that just has all the ranges enlarged.

I think the perfect fantasy rules should look like a mix of Warmaster and KoW…

We played a lot of KoW using 10mm figures, with pretty much the 28mm unit foot prints and ranges. This gets a lot of figures on the table. I quite like the speed of the game, but it is definately more of a game with toy soldiers, rather than a simulation of war. You do have to accept the degree of abstraction and get into the overall game, rather than what each move actual represents. Several of out group never really got the abstraction and simplicity – and hence we have moved onto to trying to invent some rules.
