This review is from: Battlesystem: Miniatures Rules (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) (Paperback)

The rules are passable for a miniature game, but as a set of mass combat rules for AD&D, it works well. It was listed as a 2nd Ed. game, but it is seriously lacking in the area of magic: none of the spells from TOM are here, and very few from the PHB. There are resources available on the net to help, just search with the word BATTLESYSTEM. If you can find a copy, and you wish to dive into miniatures, this is a good start. TSR/WOTC has no plans to re-issue this game, but if they received letters from fans demanding it be brought back... Check the local game conventions for a game and try it. If TSR/WOTC refuses to re-print this classic, they may make it available on the web. Good luck.
