Joke Driver and Gunner Combos
I was thinking about Famous Driver and Gunner/Navigator/Mechanic combos like Frankenstein and Annie Smith, Nux and Slit, etc.
Not sure how many points this would cost (or what other benefits/disadvantages should be applied) but it would look funny... Driver: Odd-Ball: Take one control and one ace token at the start of any round in which you are driving in reverse. Mechanic: Moriarty: Can only be chosen if your Driver is Odd-Ball. Your max speed is reduced by 1. You may drive in reverse at up to max speed. You must come to a complete stop before switching between forward and reverse. Bonus Points for players who can name the movie these two came from... |

I like the idea of linked or combo teams. I believe to maintain equity, there should be some disadvantage to offset any advantage. It could be that if one is lost, the other is not as effective as they would have been had their partner not been there in the first place. "Famous" teams would be a cool way of doing things - probably have to file off the serial numbers however - Barry and Boyd instead of Harry and Lloyd. |

Easy enough -- if one of the team is no longer there (killed, or otherwise incapacitated), *all* bonuses are lost, including those brought by the survivor.

As in so many things: Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to *add*, but when there is nothing left to *take away*. :)

Jamie Blake, and Morris Fenderbaum: Once per game, they may force a player attacking them to not do so....
