Delta Force (was Cybergames plans for ME.....)

["Erik Sandelin" <esand@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm kinda curious what members of this list thought of the old (and now long
since defunct) Task Force Games "Delta Force" game?

I was far more into SpecOps and counterterror than my friends were when this
game was released, but I still managed to play a few sessions of it. My only
gripe with it was that it seemed to me to be much more of a wargame than an
RPG. The supplement addressed that issue somewhat, but it still never
developed Delta Force into the RPG that ME is. The thing I liked the most
about the game was it's combat system. I thought it was a nice compromise
between realism and keeping the game flowing, particularly when compared to
other, vaguely similar, systems.

For example, I thought Top Secret SI's system was faster than Delta's, but
nowhere near as realistic. O n the other hand, I thought DF's system was
faster than ME's, but not as realistic.

Any thoughts?
