I used to Wargame with Ty (Fistful of ToWs author), he was trying to go for a quick play set of rules yet bring in all the depth of the technology and equipment. That’s why there’s army lists for just about everything and the reason why the rulebook is so thick.

You do need a lot of dice, but that’s Ty’s preference for chucking buckets of dice around (he maintains it’s all good fun compared to doing lots of calculations instead). We used to play in 6mm, but Ty was getting tempted by 15mm (but this was a good 15 years ago before all the Team Yankee stuff came out).

He still maintains his site at http://texaswargamer.com/

But most of the rule discussions he does in the Yahoo group 🙂
