Hired Guns

[Dave]

I agree but I feel like the designers don’t know their minds! They have contradicted my interpretation on more than one occasion. If you pay for equipment then you would just buy a ganger every time, there is no contest.

I think the free ones you get will be the only time we will see them on the table.

[Tom]

If they are on top of normal gang limit I guess they’re meant to be an expensive extra for a particularly key game. Like stealing a territory you really want or rescuing a beloved hostage.

Speaking of which, bet I’ll regret this, but should Ray roll for hostages after his win?

[Dave]

In theory yes but I’ll leave it up to him to decide if he wants to roll given that his next three games could all potentially be Rescue Missions....

[Tom]

I’d assume he’d only capture one, but the random pool would include all of us.

[Ray]

How would playing a rescue mission interact with the whole gaining territories step of the campaign we are in at the moment? I'm not sure that either side gaining territory as a result would make any sense?

[Dave]

Yeah it would have to be a side mission I feel, so no territory at stake as the gang’s focus is purely on getting their mate back.

And Tom should be arbitrator as that’s a pretty obvious solution that he came up with that hadn’t even crossed my mind!
