Song of Blades and Heroes

I'm curious if there is much interest in wargaming on Roll20. I notice several people mentioning Warhammer but I think they are usually referring to the RPG version. I've never actually played a wargame but it has always looked like fun. I picked up the rules for a mini-agnostic game called Song of Blades and Heroes that would seem to be a fit for R20. Due to its rather simple nature, it is apparently a little easy to build OP teams, and requires players be willing to self limit to themed groups. I thought that if I could get a few people to try a few games, taking turns to act as GM/moderator, we could start to lay out an effective way to larger tournament style games with the larger community. Matches are supposed to be relatively short, lasting only around 30 minutes, which means the GM won't get too bored before the have the chance to play and several matches could be played in an evening. Am I barking up the wrong tree or are other R20 players interested in this type of game?

There are board games, battletech, and other miniature games being ran here from what I've seen so why not. Somewhat curious about it.

I have imported Axis and Allies Europe and Starfleet Battles into Roll20 but haven't had a lot of interest in either. I haven't heard of Song of Blades and Heroes. What type of wargame is it? - Gauss
Fantasy Skirmish. Smaller warbands with a pretty simple d6 mechanism. Build the war band based on a point system. Since it is miniature agnistic you're really free to determine the strengths of your pieces however you see fit, within the rules I've read that the balance can be gamed a bit, so it requires then players be interested in running with a theme and not just trying to be dickish in their set up. There are extensions for campaign style play that may be well suited for a R20 community game. If enough people are interested, I think there could be opportunity for a bit of light world building to help define the themes everyone runs with.
I saw your post There is a SBH community on G+ that would like to know how you would go with this <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109118440270766782674" rel="nofollow">https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109118440270766782674</a>
I haven't played a mini game (been D&D etc mostly) but would like to learn something like SBH.
