Well-crafted war

Take the setting and events of "Warcraft" (the original PC games, not the MMORPG), translate them into simplified "Dungeons & Dragons" v3.5 terms, devise an epic scenario within this fantasy world, then run it wargame style, with lots of maps, miniatures and cardboard counters (to denote poison users, spell effects, etc.). What you'll end up with is a heroic hybrid hoot. Kudos to TC who ran the role-playing game just described (or at least the first part of it) for myself and three other friends last night. The hours of effort he'd obviously put in paid off big time and I can't wait for the next session!
