A footprint marker is placed on the base, and the military loses a piece.

You're on your own there, pal! ;) Subject: Re: MRA: More Questions From: dconner@bellatlantic.net In article <3607BBF4.2878D600@home.com>, C-Dog wrote: > > * If your monster has mutated and draws "Son of Monster", but it is > > subsequently hit with the Stabilizer Ray before it reaches its son, does the > > son disappear off of the board? > > Yes. Baby goes and looks for Mommy instead. BTW, is the "Son of Monster" health gain a one-shot thing? I assume it is, but nothing explicitly says so. Seems incredibly unbalancing if the monster could just keep revisiting Baby over and over. -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum Subject: Re: MRA: More Questions From: jeadams1@aol.com (Jeadams1) > BTW, is the "Son of Monster" health gain a one-shot thing?

I believe it's a one-shot deal, like visiting a given mutation site. You can only get juiced at, say, Three Mile Island, once per game per monster.

AF cruise missiles are carried by B-52, and may move without being 'launched'. They move at the printed (i.e. launch) range.
