I hear ya!
Typically, I end up fudging a roll (or throwing away action cards) so that I
don't kill a posse member when they don't deserve to die.  (For example, a
"Chip soaker" encounter...)

Of course, there is the *occasional* time when the Big Bad Guy (tm) would
have gotten dropped by one lucky shot in the first combat action ("17 wounds
to the HEAD!" chunka-chunka...ohh...reroll...ohh...reroll....Holy
crap!...reroll...counts with fingers..."He DODGES!")

Assuming, of course, that this is the type of game the Players want to play
in, as well...
