Saw that these rules are now available again.

Has anyone played these rules recently? Has anyone played these rules at all?

All the reviews I've found tend to be 5 to 10 years old!

Given they are £3.50 each and there's 12 titles available, just wondering if they are worth taking a risk on?

Not familiar with them, but for a moment I read your post as if all the reviews you read were by 5 to 10 year olds...  lol
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I have the sci fi booklet and I LOVE the format and general idea - More games should embrace the zine format.

The actual rules I couldn't really get on with - I found them a bit clunky and unintuitive, which is a shame as I was quite excited for them. But that's just me,YMMV.
I will however recommend Patrol Angis from alternative armies, As I find that to be a very fun system that fills much the same niche as USEME.

Clicking the link above and finding out it was my old post linked too was quite funny, but honestly while fun there is much better rules out there now adays like One Page Rules or any of ''Joe'' books.
