The original version of TSATF (the one by Yaquinto from 1978 or so) has a curiously deterministic system for firing and melee where you just rolled 1d6 causing a small variation in the results. I believe the later versions had you roll d20 per figure.We found that keeping track of wounded figures might be realistic but it got a bit tedious and slowed the game way down.It's a good set of rules for its age, but a lot of better systems have come out in the intervening 40 years.

I now have the Up The Nile rules on order, will have a read through when they get here and relay what I think, if anyone is interested..
Yes pls buddy
Scroll up this page a bit Lord Raglan, I posted my first impressions just before your next-to-last post. I do like the look of them, I think they are a very clever ruleset , but the cleverness is all "out of sight" hidden in the simple mechanisms.
