Last night, I had minions doing aggravated hand damage and Mob Connections
(tap for press to continue) in play. My prey's minions were all wearing Flak
Jackets, but I figured that wouldn't be a problem. In the first round the
agg. damage would be prevented by the Flak, but I could press and get the
damage through in the second round. Then my prey starts dropping EXTRA
Flak jackets on certain minions, each capable of blocking one point of
damage per combat. Has there been a ruling on this? Two .44 magnums I
can see. Two Sawed-off shotguns? Why not? But two Flak jackets seems
to make about as much sense as two sport bikes or two laptops.
Is this legal?

What this minion was trade in his old off-the-shelf flak jacket for the
new Super Stopper model, capable of withstanding the penetrating power of
a .44 magnum, whereas the old model could barely stand up to a Saturday
Night Special. In game terms, this is represented as putting two flak
jackets on the minion.
It works the same with Infrared Goggles too - he's not wearing two pair,
but actually only one _improved_ pair that allows him to see you coming
that much sooner.

A good analogy. It is official that a minion can use multiple flak
jackets or infrared goggles.
