Re: (TFT) Archery/Missles/aimed shots

[Rick Smith <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi Joel,
  I was kidding.  I don't think Streets of Fire is
AT ALL suitable for a TFT campaign.  Not enough
tanks in TFT for one thing.  ;-)

  I am very fond of Advance Squad Leader, but it
IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.  You have to be an uber 
geek who is not intimidated by a rule book that
is a 3" thick 3 ring binder.  The index to the
rules is over 50 pages thick.

  I honestly believe it is a great game.  

  But then, I'm a grognard.

  warm regards, Rick.
