S.P.Q.oRc is Maveryc Games' 'heroic' scale set of miniature skirmish rules pitching Orcs of the Noman Empire (as the name suggests, based on the Roman Empire) against the Halfling Boche (based on the varied tribes of Britain around the time of Boudica).
The miniatures, rules and starter pack ("Pax Bochemannica") are distributed in the U.K. and beyond by Hysterical Games who have done wonders expanding both the miniatures and background. You can see the entre range here on thier website.
They really are wonderfull character miniatures and well worth a look if alternate history featuring fantasy races is your kind of thing (and if you're still reading this, it probably is ;) )
