Well, DMZ could be OK if they hadn't made it unnecessarily complicated. What
Tom Dowd basically did was take the (IMHO rather good) rules from
BattleTroops (the BattleTech squad-level rules) and bolt bits on to make it
Shadowrun.
_That_ is where it went wrong.
There are too many stats and too complicated rules to make it real easy and
fast to play.
