Good ideas.. :)

It would be cool, except that bodyguards cannot stop runner vs. runner
combat with wanted!... it really sucks but that is the way the term is
used at the moment.


I'm not trying to be jerkish or nuttin', but I musta missed where it sayz
that in the rules. It's to our understanding here that if a Runner in the
safehouse (aside from the Bodyguard) is not turned, they are present
together. Our understanding is that Guard can be used to protect against
Wanted, unless the Wanted Runner is turned. Say Bodyguard didn't go on run
with Wanted Bam-Bam, then we understand it that this is prime time to pick
him off cuz he turned to go on a run and is probably hurt a little bit. If
you can't use Guard for that, and nothing against what ya said, then that
trait really ain't that good. I can understand it can't be used against Bar
Fight, but I think Wanted is legit. Anyhoo....I think we'll keep on playing
by our understanding but if you're right, thanx for clarifying that.
