Some interesting things about it is that it is a dice-less system, and even has rules for taking prisoners and a selection of 3 different scenarios to play... and there's a battle report with photos at the end! You'll enjoy it way more than a copy of White Dwarf, at the very least.

There are people who still play it, and it actually looks like a lot of fun, the spring-loaded cannon firing mechanic is very direct and visceral rather than the abstract stats and dice based methods of gameplay that we are accustomed to.
