Yeah, I suppose so, but the number of figures required are pretty
similar
and the mechanics are so nice, they are much more simple and quick play.
Anyway, use HVCs and RFACs and that oughta give you a nice feeling game,
but
I find the "roll 1 D6" mechanism easier than the "opposed dice for
hit/miss
followed by chits for damage resolution" mechanism makes for a much
quicker
(or larger) game.
Anyway, as I said I think there are some army lists etc on the web, use
google or something
