Chainmail Fantasy Mass Combat

 It’s not that hard, just give your hero characters the same number of dice as equivalent numbers of “man” units from the mass combat table. For example, a Hero counts as 4 men, so against light infantry he gets 4 dice to roll. The annoying thing is looking up what fantasy units match up to which unit’s combat rating. It really slows the game down. Man-to-Man doesn’t really work with fantasy, you almost have to convert to mass combat when fighting the fantasy creatures. This means that some units are completely unable to hit certain fantasy creatures.

Chainmail is a dice pool system where you grab a handful of dice for the number of units in your army, as defined by the unit matchups on the mass combat table. Then you roll for successes, and each success causes a hit that would remove an enemy unit.
