Fortress America Partisan Card Question

[Krieghund]

In our PBEM game of FA a question has come up. Der Panzinator's MapView module and Richy's dice roller have the text of a certain infamous partisan card as:

Desert Nomads calling themselves "The Scorpions" ambush a major supply convoy. Destroy all Western invader units in one territory.

However in my game the card reads:

Desert Nomads calling themselves "The Scorpions" ambush a major supply convoy. Destroy all Western invader hovertank and mobile units in one territory

I have the original edition with the "Saddam" cover, and DP is not sure if his wording is correct. Does anyone out there have the later edition of the game? Could you check the wording of this card for us?

Thanks.

I just wanted to mention this because as far as I know, there wasn't ANY '2nd' edition 'Rules' version of this game. That would mean that IF D.P.'s CARD is missing this important missive, then it is VERY pertinent and hence, the 'O'riginal should be followed as best as possible. :eek:

Rich has updated the roller with the correct text for this card. I'll also change it on the module but its not as big of a deal since the card text on the module is just for reference.

I originally based all of the card text on this link:

Not sure where this info was derived, but this is the only other PBEM site for Fortress America that I've run across. The main page is here:

If someone has a deck of cards handy then maybe you could verify all the cards are correct.

I just checked the Yahoo Group PBEM "F.A." 'map' and it doesn't list it on THAT either! I can alter this to correct it so that it will appear for the benefit of all. :eek:

I have an original FA game and the exact text reads:

'Desert nomads calling themselves "The Scorpions" ambush a major supply convoy. Destroy all Western invader mobile and hovertank units in one territory.'

After this 'Card' and question about it popped up, and after seeing an episode of "Tactical to Practical" on the History Channel, I wonder if it'd be feasible to 'create' an actual game piece(s) for this? Instead of just 'destroying' a couple of pieces, there could be some of them 'Army Dune Buggies'(and YES, I DO happen to have some of those) and there could be *SPECIAL* Rules for them like: "U.S. Player rolls a 'd6' and gets '1/2'-rounded UP, of them. Place in a 'Desert' Area and When these Attack, they get to "Shoot First" and inflict 'HITS' before Return Fire is conducted". How does this sound to you folks?:eek:

Talk to Steve. What do you think of his mod? It looks pretty cool from what little I've looked at it.

[GROGnads]

Yes, I'd like to do that since I know that he's been working on yet another expansion for this game. :eek:
