There does not appear to be any restriction against tapping a minion with a starshell grenade launcher more than once per action (other than the inherent problem of untapping each time). So this leads me to.... I am being bled at 3 stealth, I have two minions, one of whom has animalism and a starshell grenade launcher. Can I Tap minion with SGL to give other minion +1 intercept untap SGL minion with Rats warning, tap again to give second intercept untap minion with Guard dogs and tap to give 3rd intercept and if had superior animalism and auspex could do again with Read the winds so long as the attempted block fails, leaving SGL minion untapped to then tap to give intercept. (4th if 4 was needed) Is it legal? What am I missing (aside from only works against a bleed)? -JTP

First: my mistake: Starshell Grenade launcher gives acting minion -1 stealth not +1 intercept. Second: Follow up question Can a minion with two grenade launchers tap to give -2 stealth? Betting on no.... -JTP
