No, not exactly. It was one of those forgettable military sci-fi stories, mostly focused on the infantry with lots of tech excuses to disable most of the high-tech stuff that would have made infantry implausible. Looking at some books, it might possibly have been Rick Shelley's series. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
