Well, its common here.  Admittedly guns are not a part of everyday life
where I live.  

As well, it only takes ONE of a group to be interested in WW2 role-play
that gets the group of non-gunmen into it.  

I didn't realize that I wasn't supposed to enjoy the game or buy it if I
didn't know guns.  Apologies.

Not out yet then.  I'll be interested in some of the differences, though
I doubt I'll snag it unless its amazing.  I think Peginc did a great job
putting D20 into WW2.

Weird Wars: Weird War Two is the only modern campaign my various groups
play right now, although Psychosis, Chill, Ghostbusters, Heaven & Earth,
and various others are waiting in the wings for game time.  We also have
a Hackmaster campaign and an AD&D 1e campaign.
