It didn't help that:
   I was the only one who owned a copy of the rules,
   We only played once every few months,
   And that the same people didn't play in every game.

But in all fairness, these same conditions applied to Full Thrust and to
ShockForce, too.  And we just didn't have the same problems with those
games.
