Well, maybe a little bit of nostalgia but actually trying to figure a way to get the family involved (we have always gamed together on some level e.g. D&D, Risk, Axis&Allies, homemade games etc.) with less effort on their/my part since I may have to do most of the modeling. I would like to do this using 5th Edition rules for the most part.

I found Cityfight on my shelf and I still have my old Rogue Trader book. I have several 2nd Edition books but I can't find the 2nd Edition Rulebook.

Anyway, I have some ideas on how to do it but before I get too into this I wanted to put a few questions out there:

1.) I have the Cityfight book but have never read it (I know, don't ask). How relevant is it? Did it work well or was it a failure?

2.) Barring codex alterations/simplification, do others feel simplified 5th Edition rules are suited to smaller games?

3.) Is this something others would be interested in (i.e. you all) as a form of 'house rules' for smaller, faster games?

4.) Any general thoughts, comments, comparisons to other rule sets?

I guess that's it. Thanks in advance.
