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? -=Mark=-

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.
