	The danger of piloting a Gear is pretty accurate to the setting, however, as both tabletop and wargame are known to be driven by one of world's deadliest systems - [[~~Silhouette system\|~~Silhouette]]. You get shot by a kid with 9mm, even if you are some ninja cyborg commando from space, there's pretty high chance you get owned if you don't use cover or element of surprise. And no "You need to roll 20 and than roll again to confirm a crit" bullshit, it happens all the time. If you are not loosing a character every encounter, you are most likely playing it wrong.
