- (_,o ahead and post the details, there's probably enough interest.
- It may even make some people more interested in BattleForce itself.

- (_)ne of the big problems I have with BattleForce is the way the
- unit counters are set up. Practically everything is pre-set, and it's
- difficult to make your own counters, or adapt them to new technology,
- like MechForce UK did. I would have much preferred if they had made
- the counters more generic and then put some simple stats on record
- sheets, with multiple units per sheet (like infantry or battlearmour).

- though it's probably out of print, now, anyway....
