A friend was on the MeinPanzer Modern playtest list a few years ago, and
we played a bunch of small-medium games. I really liked the system
overall, although DS2 has better Morale/Confidence rules.

Overall detail is a step above DS2, so it goes a bit slower, but even
with
beta playtest rules it was a good system. I've been waiting for MP
MOdern
to be released; guess I'll wait a bit longer!

We even kicked around ideas for "Mein HoverPanzer" SF varients, and that
looked possible.
