Or even _if_.... Special Rules required for one side stopping off at a 
pub and forgetting that they're supposed to be bringing about the end 
of the world. Do we need some kind of super-ultra-wonder rating/die 
modifier for that weapon of weapons, the half-brick in a sock? <g> (if 
you don't understand this, read the book).

How about:

Full Metal Anachronism: each side has to fight with weapons (literally) 
used in the last war -- or even further back. Can't you just see the 
tanks with their turrets replaced by catapults? <g>

Full Metal Anti-social: _either_ one or both sides gets up in a snit 
and leaves before the game can be finished, _or_ it's a gang rumble in 
which the primary weapon is the steel-capped boot.

Full Metal Atlantis: combat beneath the waves, featuring mermen and 
-maids and/or (if you follow DC or Marvel comics) water-breathers. With 
fish/whales/octopi as heavy units. Of course, the truly... uh, don't 
really know how to descibe these people, so forget it -- might want to 
use "Sharkey and George" characters; I kinda like the idea of Col. Claw 
and his army as minis....
