#4645 Totally Strange TNE Rules Question

Richard Johnson · 16 September 1992

This is sort of an open question to GDW.  -- *and is NOT a flame!* --

I was just wondering why, when GDW decided to change to the "in-house
rules system" (as opposed to the "out-house rules"?) :-), did they opt for
the one used by T2k, Cadillacs..., etc. Rather than the one used by ASL or
Harpoon?

My personal feeling is that, while not usual for RPG, the Harpoon rules
would be malleable enough to be usable.  ASL even moreso since there is
already a squad leader advancement system.

Just a question.  Is 1D20 somehow superior in some way I don't know
about?

Tried to repond via mail to this but couldn't get a workable path.

Welllllll.... Neither Harpoon or ASL are in-house rules systems.  Harpoon
while currently published by GDW was originally published by a different
company and ASL has never been owned by GDW rather it is owned by Avalon
Hill.
