As a friend of mine once put it: "When I am gaming, I want to be 
spending my time thinking about the game, not about the rules."  I think

that this sums my way of thinking up pretty well.  It should be noted, 
as well, that "simple" does not neccessarily mean "easy" or "stupid", or

"childish" --when you get right down to it, Chess is a really simplified

set of wargaming rules.

It's simplicity is, I think, one of the primary virtues of the Full 
Thrust rules.  Its adaptability runs a close second.
