<Fire Bomb
<(gear/bomb)
<3Y
<turn runner and thrash Fire Bomb, roll d6 add +1 for every point of
<Demolation
<1 runner takes 1 AP damage
<2-4 Location is turned over for 2 full rounds 5-6 thrash Location
<7+ frag Location

<Sounds good for me, but I would prefer to allow this bombing gear
<only on runners with "Demolitions". Otherwise there would be alot
<of
"location- bombing" during a game. One or badly two additional
<"normal" Cherry Bombs in the game would make the use of the
<locations nearly impossible.

<But this card idea created following qustion from me: How can I
<protect my locations from the attacks of others. When Cherry Bomb <is
in play, a Wanted! is very useful, but are the other strategies out
<there ?

here is where I see the problem. Not enough ways to take out location.
There are only 2 that I can think of.
1. Cherry Bomb
2. Objective the Ghost Dance

If you want to run say a all human, elfs, orks or troll deck forget
Cherry bomb and if you don't have a shamen the Ghost Dance
Does nothing for you.

What we need is an away to stop Location Abuse. With out having to
Dictate what kind of deck you run.

If you think firebomb is too much then let have a way to stop it.

Lone Star Bomb Squad (stinger)
3Y
Turn Lone Star Runner and roll D6
1-2 take 4 AP damage
3-5 cancels the any affects that would thrash target Location.
6 arrest target runner for Bombing.
