Unless you're willing to give poor, maligned
WOTR a go, which is a genuinely tactically demanding, and elegant, system. It certainly suffers from some issues of balance (poor, poor elves and angmar), but the system itself is excellent, necessitating clever manoeuvring and thought at all times, and benefiting from its we-go turn system (in
40K/
WHFB each player spends a turn moving, shooting and charging the enemy, then the other player does the same. In
WOTR one player moves, then the other, then one shoots, then the other etc. Combined with limited 'heroic actions' allowing players to execute orders in an opponent's phase - it makes for a very dynamic game).
But it's
LOTR, so gets largely ignored online. A shame.
