[QUOTE="hculpan, post: 371563, member: 7074"] The boxed version is for 1st Edition AD&D while the book is for 2nd Edition. Obviously neither is compatible with 3rd Edition, although I guess you could attempt to adapt them. I did a quick search of the net and found this reference, [url]http://home.attbi.com/~superdan.net/battlsys.html,[/url] which talks about using either edition for 3rd Ed. I have not tried it though, so I can't say how good it is. The good thing about the boxed set, though, is that it comes with plenty of counters that can be used for running a battle. I think AEG's War supplement and Quintessential Fighter both have massed combat rules, but I didn't like either one. As I recall, both allow you to basically resolve the battle through straight dice rolls, without actually placing and moving units. But they did have the advantage of being quick. And unless you want to run a fully detailed battle, this might be sufficient for you. Hope that helps. Harry Culpan [/QUOTE]
