Fantasy miniatures rules for fighting small-scale medieval fantasy battles using 25mm or 28mm figures. The players are represented by leader figures. Other figures (followers) are controlled by the leading figures through orders and actions. Each player typically controls six to twenty figures. From the rulebook: "These are rules for playing a wargame with toy soldiers. It is intended for several players - say 4 or more. Players control heroes (and, of course, heroines), who in turn have contingents of fighters under them." "The setting for fantasy games is one of a sort of mixed dark ages/medieval European environment. Recommended reading for this are the Conan books, Tolkein's Middle Earth books and Terry Pratchet's Diskworld books. There are thousands of heroic fantasy books, of course, but if you've read these you will at least know where the author of the rules is coming from."
