It is a set of tools to enable a group of friends - a gamemaster
and some players - to recreate the experience of being a unit of soldiers. It
is played on a tabletop, using pen and paper, and sometimes miniatures (of troops,
units, vehicles, terrain). But
mainly it is played using the mind's eye.

Fire
Zone is actually a book of rules and
