I've played a little in GvG, and I like it very much... one of the things I
didn't like about IAC is how easily the gangs maxed out... In GvG you get much

FIrebomb is still there.... Just a missprint I would say... I agree that fire-
bomb is the most fun part of IAC..... Especially firebombing police stations :)
(I got 860 notority(sp?) rise one turn on that :)

SCA-* gangs in some slowgames.

PS - Anybody here who played in KJC Games "Expert IAC game" (Game 41) ? If so,
I'd like to get in touch with them :)
