hi guys. i am dm'ing my group into new territory. we are going to be doing a series of wargaming sessions. the last time i did that was about 20 yrs ago with the old battlesystem rules. i looked at the miniatures handbook and found it similar to the battlesystem rules, or at least familiar enough that i can figure it out quickly. i will likely start out with a few smaller battles then move on up to the big ones, the war to take back the shield lands from iuz ultimately.
anyhow, does anyone use any system they consider to be better than the miniatures handbook?
any and all advice on how to run the tabletop battles is greatly appreciated. as far as materials available to me though, i am poretty much limited to homemade cardboard pieces.
lastly, please give me all of your tricks, spells uses, strategies and tactics that anyone has used while playing. i am a blank slate here, though i do have a fair smattering of knowledge of military history in the real world to be able to relate to.
thanks in advance everyone...
