Yes.

BUT - if you want a far more painful game, then say no.

Cover is pretty simple.  You decide what body parts are behind cover - if 
the location roll comes up with a covered area then roll a d6.
1-3 - the round is deflected.
4-6 - the round attempts to penetrate the cover.  Treat it like armor with 
a value based on the material and thickness of the cover.

Ah-hah. . .

1)  On a chip-to-chip ratio, it is FAR more effective to use your chips on 
making to hit rolls.  That one chip you spend to get a hit will damage a 
player, probably causing them to burn 2-4 chips to negate the damage.

:)

Only use your chips to negate damage if it's some big, bad monstrosity or 
the master villian.  The only time I would spend chips on a mook is if the 
mook has a) a big weapon b) an action coming up real soon and c) a more 
than reasonable chance to hit with the weapon.

2)  Who says a marshal can't keep chips between sessions?  Just keep 
yourself to a maximum of 10 chips.
