Blue Jill

Die rolls at this point went way to crazy, 4 10s rolled, every shot hit. I replayed from the point the dice started to ruin the game.

    I felt suppression does nothing with the threshold at 5. Never got to 5. The nerve test strictly prevented ever getting to the threshold of 5. 

    Maybe these two should be combined into just nerve. Then nerve acts as a threshold for pinned.

    The civilians taking M4 fire should pin them. They were drunks, so drunk courage. The robbers militia took M4 fire and a KIA.

              Did we play suppression and nerve correctly?

    Pistols within 6 inches stopped by body armor should remove one action within an activation.
