[DL] Ambush Ethics

[Thomas Mayfield <dragonboyblue@mindspring.com>]

I've got hypothetical situation that I've been pondering, and need you
guys' input.  Say that the posse is fighting a group of bad guys who are
smart enough to have good knowledge of tatics.  They manage to set up a
fairly well-done ambush.  The posse missing clues and/or Cognition rolls,
walks right into it.  The bad guys get the drop on the heros, letting
flying with big nasty ranged weapons (snipers, rockets, etc) from cover.
The dice, and common sense dictate that the heros are smeared like a fine
red jelly- all without getting a good look at the enmey or a chance to
fight back.  Realistic, yes, but hardly fair.  How do I do realistic ambush
type situations that show the bad guys' prowess but aren't unfair to the
players?
