I have to agree with A Song of Blades and Heroes, it is a great game, and you can easily make any type of unit in any fantasy genre. While it looks generic at first glance the addition of special powers to each unit can basically recreate almost any AoS unit you can think of. The downside that I can see is if you want a game that “plays like AoS” ASoBaH may not be exactly what you are looking for as units are individual models ( there are ways to group activate) and if you are looking at bigger model counts like in AoS the game would probably bog down a little. All that being said the activation system and turn structure are incredibly fun and have a push your luck quality. The free online unit creator is very convenient, and while it technically has a “game world” it is rather generic and easily ignored. Advanced SoBaH has a great customizable magic system where as the original system barely has one at all. I think for the money the system costs you can’t go wrong, even if it doesn’t end up replacing AoS it is a fun system that will let you use your AoS minis however you want
