I even have a basic boxed set - <i>still in the shrink-wrap</i>!<br /><br />That said, we did spend a lot of time discussing the realism of it, and came to the conclusion that in order to enjoy the game, we had to suspend our disbelief.<br /><br />Now that PC capabilities are up to snuff, I find that computer gaming is a much better venue for my vehicle aggression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-20773860467410491652010-03-01T13:35:48.123-07:002010-03-01T13:35:48.123-07:00We played the heck out of that game, and if SJG ev...We played the heck out of that game, and if SJG ever releases a new rules set, several of my friends will play it once again.<br /><br />I favored recoiless rifles for the burst effect - great versus metal armor and pedestrians and solid against regular armor.PatrickWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083947433803227063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-51747373530156152922010-03-01T11:44:30.827-07:002010-03-01T11:44:30.827-07:00What I always liked (i.e. the rule I abused the mo...What I always liked (i.e. the rule I abused the most) was that weapons & equipment cost money but people were free.
