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.”
