IC was the "mass(ish) combat" version of Laserburn, LB being a skirmish
system. IIRC, IC could handle at least a company or two per side. Round
about the same time, Citadel (this was in pre-GW merger days, remember)
produced "Spacefarers", another skirmish game, to go with their figures
of
the same name, which had a lot of similarities to the laserburn stuff
(unsurprisingly given the involvement of Mr. Ansell with both
companies).
