Also - buried in the AR is the sum list of all noticed changes between 1st 
ed and 2nd ed.

Yup.

I don't know off of the top of my head - but that edge appeared in Quick 
and the Dead - which is the 1st edition setting sourcebook.  IMO it is a 
/must have/ book - as long as you are staying with 1st edition.

FYI - The 2nd edition books (Marshal's Handbook and Player's Guide) take 
the information from both Q&tD and the 1st ed. rulebook, and redistribute 
the information therein so that all the player information is in one book, 
and marshal in the 2nd.

  If a copy of Q&tD can be found, go for it.  It should be pretty cheap as 
it is an "earlier" edition book, but armed with the 1st edition rulebook 
and the list of changes you should be current on the mechanics.  eBay would 
be a good place to look.

Oh - IIRC - Under a Blood Red Moon allows the player to spend fate chips to 
gain "wilderness" style advantages - I think a white chip gives a +4 to any 
animal handling style role, etc.

Mixup in language - once a red chip is spent, you can't go back and use a 
white chip to roll an additional die.

The only reason we lost 'Nam is that we didn't use enough Napalm.
