We allways play with only one BM in play.We thinking its not possible to use
multible BM.
OLAF >>
----------------------------------
As i see it the card says"Any player may deploy Gear cards at a Discount of
-2¥."
i take it literally at -2¥. If you treat the discount as cumulative then you
get a discount of -4¥ with 2 BM, -6¥ with 3....etc.But the card says deploy at
a cost of -2¥ not 4 or 6. If you take it litarlly the BM gives of discount of
-2¥ and only -2¥.
Does this make sense?

-----------------------------------------------
I haven't checked to see if anyone responded to my comment because i wanted
to respond to it first. Ane the answer to the question "does this make sense?"
is NO!!.
What the hell was i thinking.Other cards like LoneStar HQ are cumulative why
not this one. I went back and made quick deck and gave it a try with BM as a
cumulative effect and it seemed like a very balanced card. You get 3 BM's in
play (that does not stand for bowl movement. Its Black Market. Thought i
would clear that up right now) If you choose to use the -6¥ discount , you
don't have to use it all it does say "may", roll for arrest 3 times also. You
want the discount 3 times then have 3 times the chance of getting busted. You
want to wait until you have a couple of Sisko's in play to save your but? What
is that a 5-6 card combo? It costs your 3¥ for each BM and 4¥ for each Sisko,
you probobly have your deck stuffed with 4 Sisko's and 4 BM's. How many times
do you have to use the discount before you break even. Not only is your deck
bigger your Sisko's are being tied up saving your butt so one of your
resources is't even helping you get Rep. pts. And all this time your opponent
has the same options open to him except he/she dosn't have to pay for the
BM's. It's not easy to make a deck that makes this a worth while combo. So why
not let the -2¥ cumulative?
Just my opinion. And i might even stick to this one.
