Thanks for taking the time to write all that.I had no idea it wasn't an introductory adventure - because it sure seems framed that way. It's the first adventure listed in the book and has advice for "getting the party together." Likewise, I didn't notice that the archetypes were Seasoned adventurers - I thought most archetype cards from other Savage settings listed if they were Seasoned. (As you noted, everyone had an archetype so everyone was Seasoned, as it turned it.) I did run the BDF allies in the first encounter - they joined in the battle and took the brunt of the attacks. Giving them to the players would've been probably even more frustrating than just handling them myself as the players were trying to learn the system. I did have the insurgents stay too long - they didn't flee once they got reduced to half numbers. However, to be fair, the "clean up" of the last half of them went quick - it took ages just to drop a couple of them. The PC death was also very quick in the combat. I don't think much would've changed had they fled at half strength. The Rate-of-Fire question. I think we had a character who had a RoF 2 weapon. The confusion came from "I can take two shooting actions" or "I can fire twice with a RoF" - either way, it's a -2 penalty. Why does this matter?</blockquote>
