I had a copy of that, it may still be around in my stuff somewhere but I dunno anymore.
GURPS oh man. Yeah I liked that but very very fiddly. I have come to want a more beer and pretzels level to my game rules as I get older.
If it is like Wings of Glory/War/X-wing/etc yes it would be fun. Aeons ago when I hung out with a large game group we did a Limeys & Slimeys game at con which is a 1 page rule set for 15mm age of sail ships. Someone had built a big ship for it that the pirates actually sunk. The official boats were made from that expandable insulation foam forced into ship molds, it was a fun game but you definitely need a BIG table. I kinda like that era for ship to ship wargaming.
The WizKids pirates game was fun too but it suffered from oh new set way too often.
Fun game I played last weekend was The Red Dragon Inn where you are adventurers after the quest in the tavern with your loot celebrating.
Each turn is discard your unwanted cards. Draw up to 7. Play an action card which may force another player or all players to drink and increase your alcohol count, take a wound and lose stamina, or start a round of gambling. Then you give a drink to another player. Then you take a drink from your drink pile. There are interrupt cards of course which add to the fun.
You are out of the game if you alcohol count meets your stamina count or you lose all your gold.
