Dirtside is a set of rules for science fiction ground combat from Ground Zero Games. The second edition (known as Dirtside 2) was released in the early nineties. It is my favourite game of all time.
The game mechanics are elegant yet fun. The 'opposed' die rolls really give you a sense of participation at all times, even in your opponents turn. The term 'turn' is a bit misleading as the game uses an alternative unit by unit activation that I really enjoy. An added bonus these days is that the rules are available as a free download from the Ground Zero Games website. I strongly recommend you take a look.
I have arranged to play a game at my local club in a few weeks so am busy painting up some 1/300 scale miniatures. I will post a few pics shortly.
