I am planning on writing my own rules from scratch. I was thinking along the
line of each game consisting of a number of rounds, and the players can buy
weapons and ammo between the rounds. The game will probably be quite paper
intensive (remembering who has what weponas & how much ammo etc...) but I
plan to create an online ranking system for teams (I'm not sure if this will
work - it will depend on weather people use it or not) to keep track of how
much money each team has earnt and no of kills etc... I think that the
choppers/apcs/get-away vehicles will be more cosmetic than anything else
(i.e. not be used in the missions - the get-away vehicle could be a mission
objective for the terrorists, and the chopper/apcs just for the insertion of
special forces at the start).
