you could always do the 'Kill with extreme prejudice' sort of thing, and follow
the credo of "KILL EM ALL AND LET GOD (ugh) SORT EM OUT"...that way, there are
no real misses, unless you count the people who DID survive! Intention?
No witnesses? no problem! of course this is not for the 'self-defense-only'
minded unless of course one is latent paranoid. Will that make dice rolls a
little simpler? 8-) roll for success of search and destroy, with the emphasis
on DESTROY! (eg: non-trading mission/wipe out competition)

geeez, I liked my team being BAD guys; it gives the cops and/or/and villains an
incentive to party/rock-and-roll. 8-)
(of course dont try this on a known to be unamused Referee.. "secret roll, oh,
so sorry guys, your guns jammed/overheated/ran-out/blew-up, take your pick..
choose your death, and start rolling up some new characters!)
