This is a variant of the 2004 set, mixing in some ideas from
DS3 and so forth, and may not have the slightest resemblance
to what eventually gets published.  Not explicit in the
"Actions" chart is that I made "snapshot" a zero-phase
action, so you can engage ina firefight whether you've taken
your action or not.

Activation
Leader: Assign Orders
•Must be within QD inches to give orders
•Specific: Roll QD for Command Points.  To give an order
to an individual, pay CP equal to his Nerve.
•Group: Your entire group must obey one order (move, shoot
in one direction, melee, etc.)

Figure: Activate
•Automatic if not stressed or wounded
•Roll QD to exceed Nerve + Stress.  Each Shaken and Wound
chit counts as a Stress.
•If FAILED, break and rout away from enemy—for one
Activation if not already Shaken, otherwise until rallied.
Stress chits only last till next activation test (pass or
fail). Shaken chits are removed by a successful Rally.

Actions
Aim: double Range Band
Communicate/Bargain
Melee
Move
•Normal
•Evade: 1x Move Die
•Dash: 2 x Move Die
Pray / Place Curse
Rally: Roll QD> your Nerve + his Nerve
Ready Weapon/Reload
Reserve Action: QD vs. QD to interrupt opponent
Search/Spot
Take Cover: QD > Nerve to go In Position
Treat Wounded

Spotting
To Spot: QD + System Die > Range Die
Minor success = located target, can fire, no details 
Major success = Get detail on what you spot.
System Dice and Range Bands 
•Mark 1 Eyeball: D6 /	8" Range Bands
•Telescope: D8  / 12”  Range Bands
Range Die Modifiers
•Spotter moving: Range UP1
•Target moving: Range DOWN1
•Second try on Located target: Range DOWN1

Ranged Combat
To Hit
Double 1’s = Jam
FP and QD <= Situation: 	Miss
FP or QD > Situation:	Stress
FP and QD > Situation:	Hit
Situation Dice
•In Position in Hard Cover		D12
•Hard Cover, or IP in Soft Cover	D10
•Soft Cover, or IP in Concealment	D8
•Evading, or IP, or Concealment	D6
•In the Open and not Evading		D4
Multiple Targets
Roll QD > 4 to engage multiple targets
•UP1 each for auto fire weapon or short weapon
•DOWN1 each for 2nd target not in same arc, or not in your
Front arc, or in your Rear arc

Melee Combat
Shift QD to reflect advantaged combatant (better position,
longer/faster weapon)
Roll Attacker’s QD vs. Defender’s QD
Winner rolls Impact vs Armor
Melee Stress chits count as a DOWN1 disadvantage

Damage
Impact <= Armor :	Stress Chit 
Impact > Armor: 	Wounded  (white skull)
Impact > 2x Armor:	Incapacitated (black skull)
Impact > 3x Armor:	Dead
Impact > 4x Armor:	Splatter!—Stress if within 3”
