I love Lone Star Under Cover. It's quite possibly the meanest stinger
one can put in his or her deck. Every time I have used it I have
cleaned someone else's clock. It can stop a run dead, even with geared
out trolls. My friends I'm sure hate my guts (and liver too) for
slapping them with it every time they take their beefed-up team on a
run, (sorry Dave, Brett (x2)). Anyway here's a question that came up in
our last game.

I played the stinger on the opponent and the random runner chosen
was Ravage. She had taken some damage (4 pts I think), so her body was
reduced. Her stamina trait gave her the full attack value, but the
other special trait on her card is that she attacks a second time on a
roll of 4 or better. Well, I'm sure you can see my question coming.
Does Ravage roll again in a situation such as this, where the owner is
attacking his/her own guys? Getting all technical one could say that
because she is working under cover to bust the running team, she would
do everything in her power, ie strike twice, to take down the team.
That seems a bit harsh though. We decided against it, saying that owner
would choose for or against the 2nd strike, which choice would almost
always be against, except in special cases like Kamikaze Run. Anyway
that is how we played it. Has anyone else encountered this nasty combo,
and if you have how did you decide to play it? Thanks.
