I'm hoping to pick up the main rulebook soon, but before I can afford the main book I was looking over the Quick Start and came up with a few questions.
1) How do wounds work? The quick start is a bit confusing. So if I shoot someone and do.... 8 damage to the head, do I start on the second line and tick down 8 times, killing them? Or, do you tick one box every time the wound threshold is met? So if 8 damage was done, I'd only tick one box in the Moderate section?
2) Do wound modifiers effect everything, or just what would be done with that limb? For example, if I got shot in the left leg for light wounds, do I have a -1 to all my checks, or just ones that require my leg?
3) Are the wound modifiers cumulative? So if I have 1 damage in both arms in the light box, I have a total of -2?
4) Does everyone have the same amount of Wounds?
Maybe I'll have more questions later, but I'm hoping to run this soon so I want to make sure I know what I'm getting myself in to.

1/ one box in the light wound section of the head. The moderate treshold is 10 !
2/ all tests, the character suffers...
3/ not cumulative. If you have two light wounds, your penalty is -1. If you have one light wound and one moderate wound, your penalty is -3, not -4
4/yes but the thersholds can change with optional rules.

Excellent, thank you very much!
So if the wounds are below 5, no damage is taken?
-
yes except if you choose to apply the optional rule on the wounds tresholds.
