For large-scale (ie., non-skirmish) fantasy battles, I much prefer
Chipco's
"Fantasy Rules! 2" to HotT. Handles battles from DBA/HotT size (up to
half
a dozen or so units per side) all the way up to large DBM/DBF-sized
battles
with 80+ units, and FR!2's way of handling heroic characters and magic
is
*much* better than HotT's.
As for "De Bellis Fantasticus/Here There Be Dragons" (Keep's fantasy
add-on
module for DBM), well... I haven't read the updated edition, but unless
it
gets numerous positively glowing reviews from people who own the first
edition I'm not going to buy it
:-/
