Squad/Hoarde Clarification
Just reading up on the Squad/Hoarde rules and want to make sure I am reading this correctly.
Say I have a squad of 10 troops. The rule says a max of 5 1d20 ADDITIONAL dice. So does that mean 6d20 when they attack until it is down to 5 or less members in the squad then the GM is rolling the equivalent number in the squad?

Yes. As a result, it's often better to split larger hordes down into smaller groups (no larger than 5 or 6), partly to avoid 'wasted' dice, and partly to ensure that the NPCs get a decent number of actions among them.

If i had horde of 6 troops and i want interrupt with DSP - i pay for every character in horde?
Yes, pay for every character in the horde (another reason to break hordes into smaller groups).
However, as a house rule, I suggest setting the cost at 1 for every interruption, regardless of target category/type or number of creatures in a group; the cost is for the action, not for the creature. This was something determined some time after Mutant Chronicles was completed, so it's not handled that way in the rulebook.
