Re: [DL] Combat variants

You know, I don't use any of the fast combat tricks when I Marshal a game.  
I had a blessed you carried a gun, and a Bear Shamen.  It was very important 
if the first killed anyone, and to the second it was very important how many 
were wounded as opposed to being killed, becuase he had to help anyone 
injured.

One trick I haven't tried yet is this.  If you have a large pack of 
something, gunmen, walkin' dead, wolves, whatever, I never liked that they 
would all go at once, but rolling quickness and drawcards for each one would 
be to hard.  So my idea is if you have, say 5 gunmen, you draw 8 cards (or 
so) and for each card, roll a quick d10 to see which gun man goes.  If one 
goes down and then his number comes up, just discard the card (that action 
was lost)

this spreads out the actions of the mooks, without slowing things down much
