Its designed to make combat fast, intuitive and visual.   A caution though  it requires a bit of prep and quite a few D10's (6 per combatant is ideal. They cost  about 75 cents each if you don't have them)   To make it work you need use  D10's numbered 0-9, a D12  a pen ,a few homemade  chits, some index cards  and a big piece of paper.What you do is draw the 12 phases on the chart top and side . Assign one color of dice and chit to each combatant.For each combatant make an index card with their move and what stuff  you expect them to use in combat.After this  place a chit   at the side for each combatant and two  the top to represent action and refresh.Set a number of D10's matched to the chits aside for each combatant 6, 2 each for END, STUN, and BODY Set them to the numbers on the character sheet. Start the D12 at one and move it as each phase comes . At each phase you move the chits for each guy across the board, thus you will immediately see action and refreshes . When its your guys turn, look at the card, do the action (or actions) move minis if used  and adjust the tracking dice accordingly.  With that set up you will instantly at a glance  be able to see what phase it is, who goes on what phase, refreshes, track  current END, STUN and BODY and know what moves anyone can make.If you are using minis, I also recommend putting a color chit on the base with a bit of sticky tape too.with that prep, you have a system to track all this faster than writing and erasing everything and one that can accurately and quickly  monitor the sometimes complex phase system and any passive powers attached to it.</blockquote>
