leverage at the Pammajon Talks. They Get 100 Squads.

lacking. They only roll a 1d2 during this phase.

Notes: Yes these are the same cards as the original
game but; hey look on the bright side now you can
still use a  52 card deck! Assign each card a 
corresponding number 1 through 14 and there you go. 
Some cards only effect the Chinese. Watch 
Pork Chop Hill by Gregory Peck for mood. I plan a
second edition after I read the book the movie is based on.

SOLO-VARIANT: Play as US, the Chinese play all the
cards they draw as soon as possible. Chinese Player
always charges.
