Has anyone seen, or played these? They sound interesting. I haven't heard of them before, and the price, at $5.00 USD, seems quite reasonable. Here's a link to the webpage (scroll down a bit to see them – white cover with blue printing): link |

Played them back in the '70s, and remember not thinking much of them then. |

I played these a lot back in the 80's and loved them, especially as I couldn't afford minis at the time. They're pretty simple and have some good fastplay aspects e.g. fire factors rather than individual weapon mountings. Good game, if a bit limited. |

This site is selling illegal downloads of scans of these rules. Updated (and legal) editions of all of these titles are currently being prepared for release over the summer… |

Well the link is down so that should be that. I have a copy of MTB too. I have yet to play it also. Robert |

The game looks simpler than it is. Any of the newer games like Action Stations play as fast or faster with greater flexibility and accuracy. MTB was good for the day but it has been far surpassed. |

Thanks for the info. I figured it was an official site, due to the extensive list of stuff they were offering, which certainly was impressive. Hopefully, TTG can do the same, soon. |

"Updated (and legal) editions of all of these titles are currently being prepared for release over the summer…" Will the updates be available to those of us who already have the rules or will we have to buy a whole new version? Robert |
