Re: Combat Maneuvers Cheat Sheet
I've always wondered if that was only for shots to the kidneys or solar plexus... but then again those aren't differentiated hit locations, so technically it'd apply to any vitals.

Now seriously, have you tried removing the "shrink to fit" option when printing it? it might help. Here, if i don't do that, I end up with letter pages scaled to 96% of normal size when trying to print them on A4 paper. As for providing alternate sizes, I know what nightmare that can be. However, one very nice paper size is american comic book size (17 x 26 cm - 6 5/8" x 10 ¼" for those using ACU/Imperial), not for printing, but for displaying in a widescreen turned 90º. In my tablet (Asus eee Pad Transformer, with a 1280x800 10.1" screen) it maximizes screen real estate (Android 3+ uses 48 pixels on the bottom of the screen for the system bar). |

Re: Combat Maneuvers Cheat Sheet
It's more that, if you target the vitals with a crushing attack, you are by definition striking at the solar plexus or the kidneys. You still can't target the lungs or heart with a crushing attack, but those aren't the sole definition of 'vitals'.

Re: Combat Maneuvers Cheat Sheet
Are the damage type multipliers on this sheet already? I can't find it. I saw where the injury tolerance table was, but both would seem to fit on the injuries cheat sheet (page 3, I hope).

My understanding is we did the switchover at around 1860...It kinda got overshadowed by some people getting upset about other states allowing people to be owned and those states in a temper tantrum attacked the first states... Needless to say the business of killing each other was kind of distracting. |

Still, countries like the UK in the 20th century overhauled their entire currency to be decimalized, and much of Europe as a whole was able to muster the spirit and will to scrap their old currencies in favour of the euro (even if that and the whole EU and Euro Zone concept seems now to have been not so hot of an idea). Other nations have been able to make large scale sweeping changes to their economies, currencies, and measurements (including switching over to the metric system!) despite at times political instability and issues both domestic and foreign. Right now I believe the only states not having switched to the metric system are those in the USA and the state of Liberia (a nation descended from freed African American slaves)... and despite Liberia's crippling domestic problems, it's been in the process of switching itself to metric. It's like there's something in the water in much of the US that makes it just slow to respond or show any real initiative, at least insofar as it comes to adopting any good ideas that come from outside its borders . But I suppose this is all getting a bit off topic for this thread. Ideally we'd all use A4 instead of letter size paper is the point, I guess.

Although I did see an estimate that for NASA it would cost a prohibitively large portion of their budget to metricise.

For me, the font size is just too small, so I'll probably go with Printing as a Poster (in the Adobe print properties). This will automatically divide the pages into two; setting it to 150% zoom with 0.25 inch overlap results in a each page turning into two landscape pages with readable font sizes.
