I'm not sure - there's been a Free Fire Zone ('Nam rules), and lots of
others with "Zone" in the title - Kill Zone, Combat Zone, Downtown
Militarized Zone (DMZ- Shadowrun) etc. A bit over-used, but that's
because
it sounds good!  :-/

"Sharp End" is a strong possible - yes, I know the Drake book (THE sharp
end), but hey, it's a book not a game, and you can't copyright a
title....)

It's just SUCH a shame that "Hot Lead" has been grabbed by SJG years
back
but will probably never actually see publication.... as a minis game
title
it's pretty near perfect......	:-/
