[OT] Spearhead

There was some discussion about Modern Spearhead on
the list right before I got back.  I had a chance to
flip through a rulebook yesterday, and I have two
comments:

1)The engineering rules are completely bogus. 
Obviously no one in that company has ever put in a
minefield or bothered to check a manual to see how
long it takes.	They want to tell me an engineer
platoon takes 3 hours to put in a minefield 125 yards
square.  That's only the most glaringly bogus rule in
that section.

2)Whoever wrote the US Army TOs was under the
influence of some serious mind-altering chemicals.

IIRC, this is the game I once played at a con where I
lost because I didn't realize that tanks with turrets
could, under this ruleset, not fire at any targets
other than straight ahead.
