RE: simple rules for non-gamers

***
a very simple, fast play, FUN set of FREE SCI FI ground combat	rules
that i have introduced man kids too, is  a set from the free wargmes
rules  site, by PETE JONES.  these are titled "IS THIS ANOTHER BUGHUNT?"
the basic rules are for both players to command  squads of USCMC vs dice
generated BEMs, so there is no chance of  kinter angst (TOMMY KILLED MY
GUYS!".

I'm rather surprised the kids warm up to the ruleset; I've had enough
trouble keeping interest (Important! keep game moving by small time for
talking or planning) with Aliens board game, and there's no worry about
facing. MUCH simpler list of AP's.

Still, you're right; it's good to have games that are co-operative. I
know
that RPG's do that a lot, but it's refreshing in a miniatures combat
game.
