"Fantasy Rules!" is a good game, but I'm afraid that the level of
command
leaves me cold -- I can't relate to hordes of massed troops on a large
battlefield (which is probably why I don't play historical miniatures
games), especially since they're represented by only a dozen stands of
figures.

I'd much rather see a fantasy miniatures game which uses the same
command level as StarGrunt (units of 4-20 figures per "squad", and
somewhere between 2 and 6 "squads" per side). In fact, the SF miniatures
game that seems (to me) would be easiest to adapt to fantasy is Warzone.
