[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 2537821, member: 4275"] I obviously need to poke my head in here more often. I've been hip deep in Jack the Ripper research for the past couple days and got preoccupied (no not for you guys lol- you won't be meeting Jack in the Iraqi desert- its a little book for Blood and Relics). You are correct ragboy, all you need to use BNG II is the Military Training Manual and the core rules. The rest is gravy. To use War on Terror or SOCOM you need the MTM, but the Combat Procedures Manual and BUCS are standalone products that require nothing but the core rules. So its really a question of what you want. The MTM gives you some more advanced classes and a ton of feats for a military-focused game. War on Terror and SOCOM are sort of flip sides of the same coin, each using similar terminology to represent terrorist groups and special operations units respectively. BUCS is a mass combat system able to handle ground combat between hundreds of combatants with ease, while Combat Procedures is just optional rules for attack and defense, with a lot of ways to make combat more realistic and lethal. Hope this helps and thanks for the interest :) Chuck [/QUOTE]
