hey... I've had a lot of trouble arguing how these cards work with my friends.
Apparently, FASA isn't paying much attention because I've heard two opposite
answers from them.

barfight - can turned runners participate in a barfight?
z-zone - how the hell does this card work? are unturned runners involved?
it says to pick a "team" and then promptly says "all runners" are
involved.
any comments?
wanted - can it be put on a turned runner?

Nope Sorry, you must choose one of your unturned runners and your
opponent must choose one of their unturned runners. Playing Bar Fight
when one or neither of you have unturned runners is pointless. Its a
great way to kill off rockers when all of their other runners just got
done with a shadowrun.

Can't comment... haven's seen the card.

>wanted - can it be put on a turned runner?

Yes. And you can attack that turned runner, and that runner must
participate in the combat. Not quite the same as a bar fight. It lets
you attack turned runners, but you still must turn your runner to do the
attacking.

The other q´s have been answered, so about Z-Zone: You choose one Runner
to visit Z-Zone. If successful, you use all of your unturned Runners to
attack all of his unturned ones. I don´t know if this is FASA official,
but I think all of us agreed on this ruling to keep the game within its
own set rules, and not overpower bully deck types. By turning all of
your Runners by one means or other, you can evade a Z-Zone attack.

Um, not quite.

The owner of Z-Zone selects a team of runners within the standard
shadowrunning limits (max of six). Turning this team, he sends them to the
Z-Zone (hence the die roll and possible tax). If the Z-Zone player is
successful, his opponent must use all available unturned runners in a combat
against the Z-Zone team.

This is further defined in either the SRCard Q&A or the FASA FAQ. I can't
check on the actual source at the moment.

I just have one problem with your analysis... the card says "SELECT a team of
runners... I don't think you have to take all your unturned runners... and you
should be paying for each runner you select if you fail the roll...

Here's all the pertinent info from the Q&A:
Bar Fight:
Q1: When you play Bar Fight, does the Runner the opponent chooses have to be
unturned?
A1: Yes

Q2: If they need to be unturned, but all the runners are turned is Bar Fight
discarded?
A2: I'd say yes (but you'd be foolish to play it if all of your opponents Runner
were turned).

Z-Zone:
Q2: How does the Z-Zone work? Does the player using it have to choose unturned
runners, can the opposing player choose a turned runner, does the opposing player
have to choose all his runners or can he choose a sacrificial lamb.
A2: Both players must use only unturned Runners. The "defending" player must use
all of his unturned Runners.

Q3: Can more than SIX runners go to the Z-Zone in order to brawl with your
opponent?
A3: No.

Wanted!:
Q4: Can a turned runner use a Wanted card to attack an opponent's runner?
A4: Absolutely not. That's addressed on the Wanted card: "opponents may turn one
Runner to attack target Runner".

Q5: Can a turned runner be the target of a Wanted!/Riots/Drive By card?
A5: Yes. Why not?

Hope these help. I would have posted them sooner, but I had the computers
down at school for an upgrade.
For more answers check out the SRTCG Q&A. The address is in my sig.
