I'm beginning to see a pattern here as to why FT gets applauded when
people
ask what space games exist. I like you Glenn got into Dirtside first and
the
main
reason was because I needed a 6mm sci-fi game that did allow me to edit
and
create my own forces. I had become bored with the lack of variety with
GW's
Epic
game.

But what I was saying about games that you can play straight out of the
box
still applies.
I probably would never had bothered with Dirtside before Epic. I was of
an
age where
I would simply have got bored very quickly if I had to make my own
vehicles
and army lists.

I guess GZG products are something to mature into (which is no bad
thing).
And I see now that FT and other GZG products are popular or at least
have a
high profile
in the hobby because they are promoted by those of us who have finally
seen
the benefits over
pre-packaged, non generic rule sets.
