Speaking of which, has anyone read enough of it to post a review? Is this a
skirmish game, platoon level game, company level game? What kind of rule
mechanisms are used? Has anyone had a chance to play it? How quickly does it
play?

I've only had the chance to take a brief glance at it so far; seems
pretty simple and basic, fairly intro-level stuff. 1 to 1 figure
scale (I mean one fig = one man, before somebody makes a smartass comment
about 1800mm miniatures... <grin>). Basic units seem to be
fireteams/squads, so I guess it's around platoon to company level
"grand skirmish" (kind of like SGII!). John Lambshead wrote the
rules; they do not have any connection to the Silent Death-derived

Thanks for the info, Jon. I was actually wanting it _for_ the rules, as
I've been looking for something new. I guess I'll hold off until someone posts
an AAR somewhere.
