I want to strike a blow for V 2.0 - this intermediate edition is the best imho - it needs a bit of tweaking -as do most RPGs ( yeah ,yeah Targan not harnmaster bla bla
)
But I find that right amount of tweaks and balanced lethality system is paramaount to get what I prefer -a fast paced game that allows for detailed phase resolution without getting bogged down in tables and endless dice rolls.
( example : Three characters letting their MK-19s run full auto on multiple enemy targets on foot,vehicular ,with varied distances and speeds,armour values etcetc ..)
Char generation needs upgrades in all three editions imho ,but the gamble against the "war starts " dice is interesting and adds a dimension to it I find enjoyable.
V.2.0 gentlemen. better thans its reputation and compareable to other world class systems !
