Got it.

Page 11 - No chips, no allies.  I'm going to go out on a limb and state
that anytime you want to use allies, it's going to cost you a fate chip for
the bribe attempt - even if nobody else is bidding at all.

One leader for the allied Gang.

Correct.

I dunno.  Shane?

Hmm. . . the page states that ALL troops within 6" of the hero has to make
a Guts check.   I would say that this includes allies as well.
Though I want to ask Shane if this includes enemy troops as well?

Shane?

Got a couple I want to ask as well:
When you Jump on another troop  you are supposed to halve the number of
dice rolled - coming from a height of  6-12", you would roll a base 3d6.
Would that be roll 1.5d6 for the damage then?

Just a clarification for the accumulated rulings:  Fightin' Damage - the
fate chip spent on damage has to be spent on the Strength part of the damage.
