- Be paranoid. Trust no one, etc. etc.
- Plan ahead. Run through the options, and consider your moves to
each option.
- Always have a plan for when things go wrong and you need to get the
heck out.
- Never get caught up in a gun fight that lasts more than a few
rounds.
- Don't get caught up in a gun flight just because you get shot at.
Running and suppression fire are good options.
- Have a plan when you get caught in an ambush. For example find out
the weakest link and then attack the next weakest spot with all your
force and escape from there (in case they planned ahead too and try to
lead you into a worse trap).
- Never sit still when the bullets are flying.
- Know your GM's mind better than your own, and if he/she's the type
that drops hints from time to time, pay attention to it.
- Bring the GM money, beer, women/men if all fails. Or wear a suit
and sunglasses, talk in a fake hoarse Italian accent and do the
"We're very disappointed, Mario. You-e mak-eh me unhappy. You-e don't
wan-na mak-eh me unhappy, eh, Mario?" routine.
