Yes this I like, Jon.  It keeps things simple, has minimal record
keeping
and means there are fewer chits littering the table (don't get me wrong,
I
don't mind the chits, just that having too many of them on the table
makes
it look crowded and confusing).  I agree that for trained troops it
should
be an automatic reflex but every now and then, they may get too wrapped
up
in fighting and forget what's left in the magazine.
