Wow! Fasa has been really good at getting back to my questions over the
last few days. I just wanted to post these to the group. Two interesting
rulings. One, a REVERSAL of earlier rulings, and I think a good one.
Cyberware CAN NOT be taken with street scum. I always thought that was
bogus, since the rules on cyberware specifically say it can not be removed
or passed in any way. I think that's kindof cool, and gives a reason it use
it. Two, "No Way Out" has been ruled to force runners to continue even if a
challenge sends them home. So now when you hit "Gut Check" or "Hellish
Traffic", just continue on your way with the use of one little card. Gut
Check and Hellish Traffic don't even trigger the alarm..... Well, below is
the questions and awnsers. Have fun everyone!

>>>Well, I just want to start off by thanking you guys for all the really
good work you've done. I just have specific card questions, and then
(hopefully)
I will be on my way.

1) Reinforcements - Can this card be played on a team that has already
passed
all the challenges on an objectice, so that you could lay down a whole
other set of challenges that they would have to phase on the current
shadowrun?<<<

Yes.

>>>2) Wanted - Do you attack the Wanted! character during
a)The WANTED! character's player's legwork phase
b)The legwork phase of each opponent?<<<

The WANTED! character's player's Legwork Phase.

>>>3) Operation Cottonmouth - The card seems to say that only the owner
(the
person who played the card) can add the +2/+2(A+1) to one challenge.
This would imply that the person who played the card's team would
never have to worry about that (because he would never play it on
himself). Is this correct?<<<

Yes.

>>>4) No Way Out - Can this be played on a group of runners, after a card
(say a
challenge) sent the runners home to force them to continue the run?<<<

Yes.

>>> b) Subpart b - The card states that the runners may sleaze the
challenge like normal. If the alarm is already set, the
challenge may not be sleazed, correct?<<<

Yes.

>>>5) Finally - Time Delayed Bomb - What am I doing wrong? This card seems
inferior to Boby Trap in every way! What is the advanctage of this
card? It is easier to sleaze, it does not neccesarily kill anyone
when it blows up, and it may not happen! Does it end the run or
something? Tell me what I am missing, because I can't even find
a specialized use for this card!<<<

The important thing to remember about Time-Delayed Bomb is that if it's
revealed *after* the alarm has been triggered, it moves into the
Shadowrunning player's Safehouse UNTIL it explodes, where it will most
likely
damage at least 1 Runner, and may kill that Runner. This is a good card for
a
2-3 player game, as a second Challenge, preferably placed after a Challenge
that is VERY difficult to sleaze.

>>>Thanks everyone for your time! I really appriciate your help! I just
purchase 2 boxes of starters, so it looks as if I am in this game for
the long haul! Thanks again!<<<

Hope this Helps,

FASA Corp.

<<1) Indirect Fire - When a Runner turns to provide 'Indirect Fire' during
a
run, does he add the weapons power for the rest of the combats in that run,
or only for that one combat?>>

He adds Indirect Fire weapon's attack for the remainder of the run.

<<2) Cyberware - Cyberware says specifically that it can not be replaced,
removed, or swapped once given to a specific runner. Can it be removed by
the challenge Street Scum?>>

No.

b) If it can't, do you include it in the random draw of equipment, or do
you just set it aside so that there is always SOME viable equipment
destroyed?

You "set it aside".

3) Foxy Roxy and Anti-Social - If both Foxy Roxy and an Anti-Social
character is on a run, what happens to Personel challenges that require a
social skill? One rule says they are automatically sleazed and the other
says
that they are automatically Not sleazed! Which is it (we have guessed that
it IS
automatically sleazed based on the fact that that is on card text, with
Anti Social is a skill! HELP!)

I think it IS sleazed if Foxy Roxy is present. I'll double check and this
will end up in the next update of the FAQ (in a week or so).
