There's a nice interview/demo over at Beasts of War about Alessio Cavatore's Chess Wargame, Shuuro. Essentially, it's Chess on a 12x12 board with randomly placed terrain, and a point-buy system to customize your Army. So, you could have (In the "Standard" example of Alessio) a King, two Queens, three Rooks, four Bishops, four Knights, and five Pawns. Or, you could load up with THREE queens.

It's looking pretty darn awesome. I may need to pick up a set one of these days. (Assuming, y'know, I can find it)
