Seconded, strenuously. I had to do something like this for _Car
Wars_ once -- putting all the needed rules into a single 8.5x11 page.
It took some doing, but it got did; and all involved agreed it was a
Good Thing [TM].

Now if someone would just program a computer version of _OGRE_
like there was 20-odd years ago, with all the add-ons from _GEV_,
_Shockwave_, and the various other supplements.... (The old _O_
video game even had a Map Builder, but it only had Open, Crater,
and Rubble-Hexside terrain; imagine what could be done now....)

Oh, and I now have a note affixed to the monitor: "VOCAL TONE
CANNOT BE HEARD OVER A TEXT-BASED COMMUNICATION
LINE; REMEMBER TO SPECIFY WHEN YOU'RE NOT BEING
SERIOUS, YOU DUMBF***!"
