Oooopppsss! You forgot to copy the whole section above the one you published from the guide... here you go.....


#3 - Scale battle - MOST IMPORTANT and most tedious.

There are a set of scales in the middle of the room, Chief Justice on his stand, Bumpy Bumblebehr is on trial, and sometimes quite a few gavels dropping on us. There is a line of 8 cogs whose sole duty is to obstruct our toons from doing their duty. Those cogs also throw heavier (a weight of 6 pt, I believe) evidence into their side of the scales so - heed the following

a- We need no more than 3 toons throwing on the scales, evidence to throw is gotten by bumping the defences stand (where Bumpy is). The toons evidence usually weighs 1pt per so it is imperative to make each throw count. (The evidence weight is a variable, depending on the suit size and level of difficulty of the boss battle which is determined by the combined suit values in the elevator, and also the number of toons seated in the jury by a big wig.) Try to place your toon where hitting the scales is accurate, and yet you can avoid the evidence throw by the cogs. When their evidence hits you, you lose 5 pts. You can jump to avoid their evidence so keep an eye pealed to when they throw and watch for low flying evidence which is always headed toward a toon.

b- We need at least 4 throwers to stun the cogs. Those cogs are throwing on the scales, also. Stunning is done by standing close to the cogs and rotating on an axis and throwing evidence at them. The insert key is the throw key. Stunning them keeps them from throwing at the scales and at the toons. It is best to pick two adjacent cogs and rotate between them. Stay on that job the whole time please. It is helpful to have a roaming toon behind the stunners as a relief toon for whose who need to get more evidence and to toon up toons, although this tooning is NOT encouraged. Stunning all 8 cogs will give the toons a double bonus throw for scales and also a 10pt TU. This occurs for only 20 seconds but watch for retaliation by the Chief Justice, however. He will blow a horn and you will hear the same sound as the VP when he jumps. Keep alert and jump as you did in the VP. We are limited to one bonus time every 60 seconds, I believe. So be diligent with your stunning. I believe it is better for the toons to make sure all the cogs are stunned, as the 10pt is for everyone in the battle. If a toon is getting quite low, say so and the roamer can give you a few hits, but DON'T leave your cogs. The roamer can come to you so you can continue to stun and get a small toonup to tide you over til another bonus. ALWAYS be watchful for cog evidence being thrown at you. When you see a cog throwing, you must remember they ALL throw at the same time if they not stunned, so jump when a cog throws to assure you are not going to get hit. It is easy to miss a cog throw coming from the other end of the line of cogs.

I did add the bolding, so that you could find the part I am referring to.
