I've been a fan of the combat system in Zenobia for a long time. I've even attempted to integrate it into other 2D6 games, but with my lack of game design knowledge it has never quite worked out. Thankfully Zozer Games has taken that system and made a "generic" game out of it with a broader selection of backgrounds and equipment than what is found in either Zenobia or 43AD. I'm not going to give up though. I still plan to integrate at least something similar to this combat system into other games. Until then I have some playing to do.
