Got back to these rules, which I bought around when they first came out. Had some questions about them, and wondering if anyone knows the auther, J. F. Grossman who – I believe – hails from the midwest, and may have been a lawyer [not a Rules Lawyer, an attorney!]. Also, the artist Peter T. Quinlan, who must have been a wargamer as well. Heard these were published by David Arneson after TSR broke up, and were followed by John Hill's "Johnny Reb" rules. |

There was a review plus some battle reports in some issues of The Courier back in the early 80s which got some gamers interested in the rules. After that, however, there was a new fire calculation sheet produced by a gamer that was published in The Courier, but that was about it. I still have my copy and there are some interesting ideas in there, but today's gamers would never go for that system. |

I loved the lack of dice rolls. I get so tired of an opponent's incompetence getting rewarded with lucky dice. Really a beautiful set of rules Great illustrations |
