I have Frontal Assault in play :
> Frontal Assault
> Master.
> Put this card in play. Each ready minion you control may enter combat with any minion controlled by your prey as a action. You gain 1 pool each time a ready minion controlled by your prey is burned or sent to torpor. During your influence phase, burn this card and burn 1 pool for each ready minion controlled by your prey.

Inspired by an old hypothetical decklist by Darby, I have a Hellhound (riding a Hawg, wearting a leather jacket, and wielding a combat shotgun).

Does the Frontal Assault allow the Hellhound to take an action to enter combat with one of my prey's minions?

No.
Frontal Assault grants an action that minions can choose to take. But Hell Hound cannot take actions, so its expanded number of choices is irrelevant.
Thanks much, I'll change over to having Underbridge Strays.
Unlike Hellhounds, they can take actions, they provide presses for each other (so they'll probably ride sport bikes and not hawgs), and my minions pay for them not me.

Perhaps we could eventually get a ruling that Animal minions can't use equipment.
But until then, there's the Scooby Doo Biker Gang.

Well, it would be a ruling on the underbridge stray. It's not like they are other animal minions.
And it would not prevent him from hacking your computer, recruit human retainer, and stuff. More like he shouldn't be able to play card.
Demdemeh can make animal minions with his special, and I'd imagine there are some other ways too.

Why only animals? Why not mindless zombies? What about incorporeal wraiths who can hardly ever appear in the material world? What about anyone who's been Disarm-ed?
If you start chasing rulings for realism purposes, it never stops.

I have always liked Elephant Guardian driving around with Unlicensed Taxicab.
Also Swarm bleeding with Camera Phone is pretty hilarious.
Marko, Prince of Helsinki
I tend to belive that the COmputer Hacking is the most hilarious. You could do a running gag deck where you see an elephant hacking your computer. Then a swarm of insect. Then a demon. Then a mummy. Then a shadow. Then a war ghoul (extra bonus to hack more quickly with the extra limbs).
But Leatherface cannot hack your computer. He is certainly less intelligent than a war ghoul and without useable limbs like a swarm.

And then, Anson go to the ball with delilah and Entrance Ossian.
I listed but never built an "invisable puppy dreams" deck with strays, dreamworld, and psychic veil. Add some cloak the gatherings, leverage, computer hacking, and psychic veil, and you have a theoretically amusing deck.

He said something about getting press from them. Also they have two life, which is not much but it's alway that.
Now, Arms dealer are indeed solid, if only because they are free

Correct.
