S035 The Ragged Army

street theater

Resolve a CLASH in every City Area you control with a Police Platoon present.

NOTE: Instability may only increase by 1 (max) when resolving this card. Demonstrators will gain exposure in each area where they clash per usual conflict resolution rules.

The ragged army split up into a series of mobs which roamed through the streets breaking win­dows, setting trash cans on fire, and demolishing at least a dozen patrol cars which happened to cruise down the wrong street at the wrong time. Smoke billowed from a house several blocks from me and the fire engines began arriving. A policeman ran from an angry brick-throwing mob, lost his cap, hesitated, and ran away without it. At the inter­section of Clark and Division, four cop cars arrived simultan­eously and policemen leapt out shooting in the air. From all four sides the demonstrators let them have it; most of the missiles were overthrown and hit their com­rades or store windows on the other side of the street.
