Re: called shots/hit location

There was another reason besides the Land Turtle that made me ask 
about this- Zombies and Ghouls. You have to hit them in the 
head/brain to "kill" them. How do you go about doing that without a 
rule for called shots?

Also, I did a search in this group on the subject and came up empty 
handed.


Later,
