[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 2138538, member: 725"] Hey, i'm a long, long time fan of BT. But, BT has one big flaw, it's someone else's property. ;-) [OGC rant] Wile we could have created a BT like game at any time (and many have tried), but with the introduction of the OGL the rules set of an immensly popular RPG (D&D) became available for use with any project you can imagine. Enter here the fact that many folks don't really like the MW rpg rules set (i for one still think that the 1st edition MW still has the best flavor), or that folks rather start playing instead of learning another rules set (a lot of folks play or have played D&D3E). Creating a BT style tactical game that interfaces smoothly with the D20 rules and uses many of the same principles would make the life of a lot of folks both more interesting and easier.
