	Meet sucker #1.  I was considering setting up a new VD&D game and
	running some of the historical battles before finalizing the history.
	The Battle System looked tailor made and I bought it in a moment of
	weakness.  The thing goes for about $20.

	Don't be fooled by the weight of the box.  Most of what you get is
	sheets of cardboard counters.  There is also a 8 1/2 x 11 "book" of
	terrain sheets The rules are sparse at best.  If anybody is interested,
	I will drag the thing in to work and do a real review.
