I agree.  It has been very easy for me to teach the Full Thrust 
game to people who have not played wargames or miniatures rules 
before when I describe the simplicity of the combat system.  I 
mean, who needs a combat table when I tell them 1 six-sided die 
rolls 1 hit on a 4, 1 hit on a 5, and 2 hits on a 6.  It harkens 
back to the days when my brother and I made WWII ships out of 
LEGO and blasted them to smitherenes on our living room floor,
which convieniently was a nice sea blue!
