It;s a very player-friendly book.... No marshall's section, or at least 
a tiny onw, and recommended for that reason. the MA rules are the same 
as the HoE variant for those who buy both lines.

It sums  up the errata in one place, which is nice. I'd still love to 
see the Big Book o' Deadlands Rules containing the most up to date 
combat rules, weapon charts, etc. for all three settings, but i doubt 
it'd be a big seller for PEG, unfortunately.
