Heh-heh-heh...A couple of hints on tactics for everyone - 1. You can fight defensively while making a ranged attack - you take a -4 to hit but you gain a +2 dodge bounus to Defense in that round.2. You can opt for Total Defense - you forfeit your attack action but you gain a +4 to Defense in that round. For example, you could take total defense as your attack option and move 30' in a round - this represents running and dodging.3. You can run at 4x your speed as a full-round action if you run in a straight line and don't have to adjust for obstacles - this also gives you a +2 to Defense for the round4. You can use suppressing fire - this forces a Cool check from your target and may provoke a ranged AoO, plus you only have to hit DC 10 (range penalties still apply). The downside is that each round of suppression fire costs you five bullets and it requires a semi-automatic or automatic weapon (so Vidal's bolt-action MAS-36 or Neumann's Mauser 98K can't perform suppressing fire).Fighting defensively and total defense are covered on p. 137 of the core rulebook. Suppressing fire is listed among our houserules in the Metagame thread.</blockquote>
