*shaking head* First, I keep opening my mouth...

Then, each time, I am diving into the bunker, quaking, waiting for the
boom,
but there's no boom. WHERE'S THE BOOM?!?!?

Oh, well, here to try again...

I think people are kind of missing my point; with FTII, you can be
playing
after a reading a few pages. Even more so, I can write a few paragraphs,
with a few page refs to FTII, MT, and FB1, for specifics, upgrades, and
to
keep Ground Zero profitable, ( ;->= ) and have just about anybody up and
playing within a few minutes.

My experience with the other games has involved reading part of the
book,
scanning to the next part, reading some more, scanning some more,
getting
lost on previous points, getting bored, then just dropping the whole
thing.

Can someone write me, in a page or two, a concise, step-by-step process
to
get running on a relatively simple scenerio? With plenty direction to
rules?

I've got both books. Actually, extra copies when I was working harder on
getting others interested. I know; when am I getting pics of Hobie and
Bill
demo'ing/training at Nukecon...

Please note: I found Starfire's Quick Start Rules a nice try, but that
was
TOO much just rule references and not enough tying those rules together
in
a coherent text.
