TACTICS

Once per round, the Establishment may place up to two Injured Police Platoons in Michigan Avenue.

NOTE: Tactics cards are active when placed in the CURRENT TACTICS space on the board (see Strategy of Confrontation Action Card) and grant a special card effect during the Police turn.

On the eve of the convention, there were 12,000 Chicago police officers on full alert, working 12 hour-shifts, nearly 6,000 mobilized Illinois National Guard, 5,000 U.S. Army combat troops, fully armed, with flamethrowers and bazookas, arrayed against 2,000 to 5,000 actual protesters from out of town, plus thousands of curious local youth wandering over to check out the scene.
