Dux of the Rings?

So... recently there's been the appearance of a number of rules systems from Osprey. It's a simple model, but one I suspect that will work quite well for them in the long run. Dux Bellorum however is a quality product, and brings something I've been looking for out of a system for a while. My problem is simple. I don't paint much quickly, which, when combined with my Gamers ADD, results in mot a lot being available to throw on the table. So that's meant DBA for the most part, which I'm fine with. It's a simple solid system in 2.2 (I'm not touching that whole 2.2+ vs 3.0 mess). But-it's simple, and the forces are always 12 stands on 12 stands, so it's not always balanced.

Dux Bellorum give additional details with a rather specific focused feel for the period. There are a number of fine reviews you can find online, I won't attempt to compete with their efforts. What I can say is that this allows a rather complex game with 8-12 stands on the table....well, at least it appears that way on first read through.

Now I've been a fan of the idea of using DBA (not HoTT) for "Historically Plausible Fantasy Wargaming", whatever that means. In much the same way Dux Bellorum could have a roll in similar fantasy gaming. However, as Dux is, in it's roots, a rule set focused on a particular period, it brings to mind a fantasy derivitive also focused on a particular type of fantasy gaming, in particular Lord of the Rings.

 Gondor should be run as a simple Late Roman army List with, as far as I can tell, no changes (though I'm sure some experts of the archeological evidence will argue with me). Mordor Orcs should be an easy translation, which was what jumped out when I first read through the book. Clearly I have problems.
