<< According to the rule book all combat happens simultaniously. Any after
effects such as damage done from greater elemental, or hell blast happen
after combat. Unkle Joe does not kill himself off before combat using
hellblast. It happens after. Thus the second application of damage
happens after combat. If you agree that fatique and armour effect this
second damage, you yourself accept the fact that it happens after the
inital combat. There is also the little wording on the WR "If the
runner survives combat" This would imply that the reapplication of
damage happens after the combat. After the inital combat spell has been
used. So if one wants to attack again one must use a new spell. >>

Everything you wrote is correct. Its all right there in the rule book.
Except that last part about casting a new spell. I must of missed that one but
if you will just point me to the right page i would be much abliged.
I think my original point was that sometimes the common sence of the RPG
can't apply to all the cards and rules in the TCG. Sometimes there are gonna
be loopholes and the unexplainable in game logic. It just has to be to keep
the game going smooth. They could go and make exceptions to the rules for each
card combo that dosn't make sence but the list would be immence and would just
slow the game.
See what you did? You have me repeating myself. I think im just gonna have
to write FASA on this one and i encourage you'all to do the same. We are just
going around in circles and it dosn't look like either side is gonna change an
opinion soon. I'm gonna try to let the subject drop until i get a reply from
FASA. I make no promises though cause i do like to debate.
