Subject: Question about Reinforcements
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 1998 22:25:07 -0600
Since we have been discussing the pro's and con's of the Big Bad Guys...
I've been wondering about the "potential" usage of Reinforcements...

Can you play Reinforcements at ANY point during a Shadowrun?

(ie After Tiny and Skwraaaaaark! blow through a few challenges, I want to
set them up with another 3 or so more to go through)

My thinking is yes... but I'm an evil, sadistic bastich who loves to screw
with everyone else's deck.

That's the way we've always played it. Caric likes to wait for the
natural pause when you've cleared the third and final Challenge and
are preparing to pick up the Objective and claim the rep. Wham!
Another three Challenges fall into place before you. <EG>

OK... Another situation THAT I like to use...

Is it legal to use Blindsided immediately after playing Reinforcements?

Send them really into a meat grinder. Force them to run through another 3+
objectives to claim that objective.

Hehehe... you're too soft. I like to play All or Nothing, then Blindsided
and if needed a Reinforcements. I've done it many times and each time
ended with 6 dead runners.... The worse part of the above situation is
that most likely if they make it to the Reinforcements stage of the run
they will not put any challenges down. So if they do die on the next
three you can just walk in next turn -barring an intercept.

But to answer your question. Yes, you can play Blindsided after
playing Reinforcements.
