Re: (TFT) Using Melee/Wizard as a Wargame

[David Jackson <azog@bellsouth.net>]

My biggest problem with GURPS is the inherent "generic" quality to - 
everything-.  There are things that I like about GURPS, from a  
roleplaying standpoint.  There are things I like better about TFT  
from a conflict simulation standpoint.

One of the things that years of wargaming has taught me is that  
complexity does not always equal realism.  In fact, it is usually the  
more elegant but subtle rules which give a game it's realism.   
Something as simple as changing the turn ordering can have a huge  
impact.
