Re: [DL] combat system

["Sam de Smith" <sam.desmith@ntlworld.com>]

Yers, a bit like a now-infamous incident in which my old posse took 2 hours
to kill a rabbit (oh, alright, it was a duster, but still).

After that little debacle, we moved to a poker-baed combat system (no dice
rolls), which sped things up a bit. I've still got a copy kicking about
somewhere (NB - since we started playing HoE, we've gone back to the
standard rules, but that may sat more about the relative lethality of HoE
than anything else.)
