Fantasy Adaptation based on the AMW Medieval Rules

As mentioned in an earlier message I was involved in a project to develop a credible Fantasy variant. My background basis was a long running Chivalry & Sorcery campaign I used to be involved in back in the 1980s. The world of Archaeron was the background to my lists and rules design. Basically a feudal model so the Medieval AMW rules were used combining some Dark Age and fantasy features. I've now completed the rules and designed all the lists for the nations occupying the known world. The major innovations were the introduction of leaders to represent heroic personalities and magic users, spell casting and the impact of magic on the battlefield. I've had a lot of fun developing these. I now want to do some thorough play-testing particularly to see how the overlays for leaders and magic work. Probably will need to do some more tweaking.
