Standard 1D-2 Y
Flashy does not react on a 10.
Flashy moves into cover and snap shots at Gus. ( 9+1=10), a hit. Normally a kill, since Gus had no shield, but he has been infected with a healing larvae. He survives, for now..... (All rolls now at -1 penalty).
He is too stunned to react.

Chris and Pointy reload their weapons, staring at each other as they do so. (No attack this turn.)
Pinky moves forward past Sgt. Rose (Immobilized in webbing.) and snap fires twice at Cutter.
(Rolls 2+1=3, 9 +1= 10, a kill). 1 Victory Point.
Boss Fatbelly does not react to his bodyguard being killed, except by calling Cutter a “Useless slug.”. Pointy is still reloading.
Martin snap shoots at Pointy. (4, 11 – a hit). Pointy goes down. 1 Victory Point.
Boss Fatbelly steps over Cutter's body and shoots Sgt. Rose (10+1, a hit.) Her shield goes down to 4.
Pinky reacts with a snap shot. (4+1=5, it bounces off his armour harmlessly.)
Meanwhile...
A blip moves into a better position to attack on command.
Turn 6
Roll for extra actions. 12 +2 =14. So 3 extra actions.

Warrior could not react. (8)
Gus snap shoots at Flashy (at -1)_(5,5,5,8,6). All miss as Flashy is still in cover and the only good shot hits the wall.
Flashy could not react. (11)
Sgt. Ted advances and snap shoots at Flashy (1 = out of ammo).
Gus uses an Extra Move to shoot at Flashy, (6-1 = 5, good narrow shot)_(11-1=10, a Hit) and takes him down.

Stepping out into the room where his underling Flashy has just met his end, comes Boss Nutter and his bodyguard, Spike.
Looking over at the remains of Flashy, he snorts, “
That wasn't very good manners was it. Take em out, Spike”.
"
Sure, Boss.", Spike thinks for a moment, “
Uuh, Take em where, Boss ??”
“
Nowhere, just kill them !”
“Oh, I like that job.”
“Fire !”
