I really liked FirePower, and didn't find it all that difficult to
learn. A
lot of folk didn't like it, though. Their main objection was that if you
got a
run of chits early, your opponent knew you were out of chits and could
run
unopposed through his chits. This can happen in SG2 or FMAS, but to a
lesser
degree. (I tried to sell FirePower on eBay recently, though my heart
wasn't in
it. It didn't sell though I wasn't asking all that much for it, so I've
decided to keep it. One day, maybe, I'll get to play it again.)

I have it, but only played it once. Not sure what bugged us about the
system.
There was something that felt strangely artificial, but I can't remember
what
it was.
