remember that you attack the character during HIS PLAYERS legwork phase (is
on the offical FAQ). That means that if you play it on a tapped character,
then he will have a chance to untap and heal before you can attack him with
Wanted! Secondly, people with Guard can protect any runners present. As
stated below, all untapped characters are present in the safehouse. So if
you played wanted! on this charcter, and he untapped, then you COULD Gaurd
agaist the damage. I have a questions in with FASA to verify all this, but
it goes with the spirit of their other rulings. If, however, they other
player TURNS his character during the legwork phase, and then you attacked
him, he could not Gaurd him because turned characters are not present. Just
my $.02. I will email the results of my questions to FASA to the list.
Thanks all....
