I would have to disagree. I have never served in the military and I was
the
first in our group to buy the rules. It did take more then one reading
to
understand some of the rules but then it took me a while to understand
some
of the other war games I bought in the past.

I agree Allan, after we put some guys onto the table and played a couple
of
times issues became clear and the rules made more sense.

I do feel that Jon is very acronym heavy in his stuff, but as Beth wrote
"my
'machine gun guys'" seem to do their job just fine. I do wish that there
where less acronyms but then I just have a memory problem with them for
some
reason :-)
