It's the GURPS rules for the most part, with changes to a 2d10 rather than 3d6
resolution system (that's what I use :).  I changes the rules for determining
casualties...
in the original you make one roll for both sides and find the differences
between their
successes...if one side succeeded by 3 and the other by 1, the winner started
on
then +2 table (3-1) and the loser on the -2 (1-3).  The problem was, when you
won
big, the other side always lost big.  It was too simple.  Perhaps my rolling
for every
distinct unit is a bit much, but produces better flavor...you could win the
battle big, but
find yor key group of cavalry decimated.
