The "Pop-up" rule we use is simple, based on SM2. ?As it simulates a helo-gunship (Apache, Cobra, etc.,) hovering behind cover, poping-up, firing, and going back under cover. ?Been there, ?did that ! ?Too many guys don't get "reality-centric" rules and are off in the Ether, with comic book ideas. ?Many of Jervis's ideas for E:A are based on reality ! He quotes history, ?real world military concepts, etc., throughout the the on line formation of the E:A rules ... ? ? ?Bravo, old boy !

While working on the basic rules, I had the opportunity to exchange emails with JJ. He is both a nice person and very knowledgeable about military history and tactics. Often, to make a point or to explain what he was thinking, he would use real world examples. He did try and think ?realistic? while also not loosing sight of the playability of the rules.
