Ancient Greek idea if you want it.

Might have posted this before; sorry if I have.

30 years ago or so I was driving an hour each way 2 or 3 times a week. During that time I listened to the Iliad read by Derek Jacobi. It struck me that the way it was told made it sound like a sporting event; the crowds in the background,  waving flags, roaring, etc, but with the main characters that the main story ran with.

A wargaming idea formed, but I never followed up.

A DBA style game.
Heroes are single 25 (now 28) mm figures. Eg, Achilles
Supporting Characters are 15 or 20mm, eg Petroculous.
Then the hordes, a base full of 10mm.

Never really got much past that. Heroes would get multiple hits when fighting another hero:?straight die roll? Highest does 1 hit?

Horde vs hero - something like hero rolls 1 die, any thing but a 1 kills the horde. A 1 does a wound, if he gets 3 wounds before resting then he is dead? Or rolls 3 Dice v 1 for the Horde, 1 higher or equal kills Horde, or they do 1 damage?

Would anyone be interested in a "Hero" game like this? Never going to have the figures, but happily work on the rules with someone.

We did this with 15mm Greeks, 28mm heroes amd 42mm Gods

You forgot the gods! Oh dear, they won't be happy!

Someone is producing 3d print hods these days, I've seen quite a few around, so you could even scale them up again.
