A _very_ detailed HtH combat system published by Leading Edge Games. You
can play it as a tactical wargame, or (according to the designers) use it
instead of an RPG's normal combat system. Using it in Shadowrun would be
problematic, I think, because the whole Phoenix Command line of games (the
HtH system, a ranged combat system, an artillery system, a tank combat
system, and more) is aimed at realism, while SR is much more cinematic.
