Good to read and welcome to the forums.
I, too, have jumped into Microworld and have some of their beastkin and wood elves. I feel that Kings of War is a better game at smaller scales, so you might be onto something there. As for me, I'm not sure which system I will use, and am developing my own simple (almost beer-and-pretzels...almost--more DBA/HoTT with a more for options in it); with my Warbands mounted onto round bases. Being as easily distracted as I am, my system probably will lay unfinished and unplayed until doomsday.
That is, unless someone can sell me on a system that already exists, that's only a slightly more complicated than DBA/HoTT.
splash - I think you should check out
MAYHEM. They are mass battle rules with custom unit and army construction, a unique magic system, warmachines, and more. You
would want your units based on square or rectangular bases though.
If you're definitely going to do round bases, then
HAVOC might interest you. However, it doesn't feature the robust unit and army creation capability found in MAYHEM.
Good luck with your project!
