Oh believe me they needed those fixes, though I think he should have recieve some compensation like the sixth control card.
Agree Book 2 with its promised whole gremlin chapter is going to be awesome I am sure.
Also the biggest problem with playing Gremlins usually isn't the crew, its the player. Hear me out...for the most part Malifaux plays completely different then what most of us came from (Warmachine, Warhammer, etc). You win by completing your Strategies and schemes not by simple body count (for the most part), it takes awhile for most people to unlearn what they came from.
