I just picked up the new
(to me anyway) hardbound D&D Miniatures handbook, and it actually
looks pretty good.
It's aiming to be the miniature rules for those familiar to the D20
world, at the same time trying to attract the Wizkid crowd (as can be
seen from their packaged painted miniatures), as well as the warhammer
crowd (since the rules now contains mass combat rules).
The rules themselves are pretty clear and well laid out, and reads more
cleanly than the verbose conversational style of GW. There are plenty
of illustrations to help you along. The skirmish game is played on a
grid while the mass combat game is over ungridded table top. The rules
are simple, retains some favors of the D20 combat system but yet
simplified (there are also rules to convert your D20 character stats to
the miniature game stat). This could be cool (I am looking to tryout
the LOTR figures and scenarios using these rules)....
