About Hobgoblin, from BoardGameGeek:

Mike Hutchinson's Hobgoblin is a fast-paced and thrilling rank and flank tabletop miniatures wargame set in the fantastical underground world of The Rotvärlden. With simple and adaptable rules, players can collect and field any fantasy army they can imagine and engage in brutal battles that last under two hours. The game features original artwork from graphic artist CROM and encourages players to let their wild imaginations run free as they battle alongside cavern fortresses and underground oceans. Whether you're a seasoned player of fantasy army wargames or new to the genre, Hobgoblin offers a fresh and exciting take on the fantasy mass battle experience. The core ingredients that make up Hobgoblin's unique gameplay are: Rock-paper-scissors relationship of unit types, meaning no unit is ever master of the battlefield, and every sort of miniature can have a role to play in your army Simple and consistent stats and combat rules, making battles super-fast to resolve Magic, Cursed Artefacts and Fortune Cards provide a huge range of possible strategies and tricks to explore. Every design decision in the game pushes towards brutal efficiency and smooth, quick gameplay -description from the publisher
