I believe it was called "Mighty Empires", but I'm not sure if I'm rememberi=
ng the epic fantasy game, or the large fantasy game designed for beginners =
that plays on a "Twister" size plastic mat.
I took a look at the epic fant=
asy game (which I will call "Mighty Empires" for now until I can remember f=
or sure what it was) back around 1990. I don't remember exactly when GW st=
opped production. I liked the concept of designing a custom fantasy world:=
they had a stack of about 30 or so hex cards that measured about 4" across=
. You and your opponent(s) worked together to place the cards in a cohesiv=
e design until you had a world, then placed your cities. The armies each h=
ad a point value to represent there relevant size. Depending on the number=
of cities you controlled related to the relavant strength that city could =
muster in army troops.
I didn't buy it at the time due to lack of funds; f=
or which I'm always regretting now. I didn't actually play the game at the=
time, just looked at it; so if someone out there knows what I'm talking ab=
out, feel free to clarify.

In epic, alm=
ost every infantry can shoot
In whfb only archer types can shoot
In Epic t=
here are many different kinds of tanks
In whfb there are tank type things, =
but if you read the fluff, not enough
for an epic sized battle, basically t=
he whole thing would be infantry. Now,
Epic FB would have to be played on a=
4x4 table, otherwise can you image how
long it will take the dwarfs to get=
anywhere, seeing as they don't have an
troop carrying tanks (That I know o=
f)
Well, you'd have a lot more troops riding monsters. Possibly monster
sq=
uards, groups of guys on griffons and the like. I can't think of what
they =
would use as centerpeices, i.e in epic titans provide a sort of visual
cent=
erpiece for a force. Can't think of what the fantasy counterpart would
be.=
Maybe some sort of really large monster.
