<< Yo.
 
 I read the whole book the other night (it was a LOOOONG Saturday). There are
a
 few things I'm wondering about.
 
 (1) How does everyone feel about the new shortcuts for mooks vs the old one.
 
 For those who haven't received it yet, I'll explain. The new shortcut
involves
 using chips to keep track of mook injuries on a stack per mook basis (each
 mook gets a stack of damage chips going up to six or seven wounds (don't have
 the book in front of me) where each color chip is a level. White = one, red =
 two, blue = three, etc).
 
 The old shortcut was a "hits" system. Each humanoid mook had 30 hits you'd
 keep track of by using the totals rolled on the dice by the posse member
doing
 the damaging.
 
 I'm not sure the new way is easier, but I'd be interested in hearing what
 everyone else thinks. >>

Well, remember that the book still includes quick hits for the majority of
encounters, the other system isa for massive combat. (always a plus)  

I think it is a bit easier, but instead of using different colored chips under
the bases, I intend to stack little bits of cardboard or tiddlywinks adjacent
to the figure.
