Yeah, a bad group can ruin things. I also might be over-simplifying it, since I read it almost a year ago!
Another system that is getting a lot of praise is FATE Core, which I believe (don't quote me) can be picked up for free. The system can be used for any sort of setting/theme. It's definitely based more around story than making sure you've got enough 5.56 for another firefight though, so it may not be good for the logistically-minded. Which, I confess, is not me.
EDIT: Looked it up, and FATE Core is on a PWYW (Pay What You Want) basis.
