I've been playing wargames since 1964 and I've tried everything. What I have
never yet found is a decent MODERN set of skirmish rules. So when I found the
above I figured I'd buy them.

Now 29 years ago I found Squad Leader and after a few mistakes I got to love the
game and the programmed learning part especially. They enabled me to play the
guts of the game without learning tons and tons of "stuff" or figuring out which
rules I had to use.

The trouble I have with TFOMB is HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO LEARN???

There's tons of it!! :-)

I understand that I can play the first scenario with just a few pages but the
next few pages look really good, and the next few. But after a while it looks
like an RPGame.

All I want is Infantry. No tanks, no Mortars, no airstrikes, no minefields,
maybe a Helicopter and a Hummer or two, but that's all.

Can I use the rules?

Help?!
