Hah! That didn't take long to figure out!
Shane, you are The Man! My wargaming freinds are going to love Showdown when I send them the link!
I noticed that the Point values aren't even close to resembling the last troop builder document. I will refrain from speculating on what that means. 
One question: Is Barrier now 1 PP per 3" section or 1 PP per 1" section? the description doesn't match the statistics given on page 10.
Also: Black Powder Pete has a Spirit skill of d8, in addition to a d8 Spirit Attribute on page 3 of Showdown.

In the 50 Fathoms skirmish document it mentions that the points values used are the standard SW points values divided by 10 to keep it simple.

The Spirit skill on Pete is a typo. Will fix.
You're sharp! On barrier, yes, I changed it to make it a little more economical.
There's another big change in there as well that I think is going to become official in the RPG. It certainly has worked better for us for the last few weeks. See it? It's...
Bonus damage. Much easier to figure out if one raise equals an extra d6 (that can Ace as well). This also makes it easier for mooks to take down things with high Toughness.
You'll see this in the Sandbox submissions soon too.

| Is DK going to be a PDF (I hope) or a book? What about other Showdown "supplements"? |

One question regarding the Bonus damage:
It's always one bonus d6, not one per raise, right?
Plus, there's a typo in the Victory section:
| Quote: | Multiply this number by 100 to get your percentage. If
you start with 100 points and lose 40 points worth of
troops, you?ve suffered 60% casualties. |
Now, I ain't no math genius, but shouldn't 40 points lost equal 40% casualities?
