The first idea I thought of was that Steve was out of his mind, since the 
weapons in GRW are so basic.  But he's a genius in disguise. Actually, a lot 
of the ideas would work--for instance using gizmos for high tech weapons, 
but the points cost would have to be seriously adjusted.  There would need 
to be some sort of "pinning fire" rules to reflect the serious amount of 
spent shell casings fired.  Auto-fire weapons might need to be added in too 
(personally, I would use that autofire template from VOR--it's quick, it's 
easy).  Since we're talking about small squads or individuals, it wouldn't 
be that much of a stretch to convert.  Many of the abilities could be used 
straight up and GRW moves along a lot faster than Battleground WWII.  Vor 
reminds me more of modern combat and each figure in that game acts more like 
an individual there.

BTW, the minis made by Harlequin/Icon and Battle Honors are very cool and 
could be easily converted.  They're cheap, too.
SO... who is going to start work on this huge project?
