I’ve not looked into the rules a great deal but they do seem very interesting from what I have seen.

If you like the game, support it !

The other game I hear mentioned a lot amongst superhero skirmish fans is one called “Supersystem” by Four-Color Figures.

these would also work well for hero rpg games… like FATE based Pulp rpg “Spirit of the Century” or the more tradional sort
