by Joe Miranda; Decision Games, 19933 (in Moves 75).

Components: 120 unmounted counters;

Map: 11"x 17" area-movement map bound in the magazine;

Scales: company/battalion for Authority, cadre to mob for the Rebels; 12 hours/turn; no fixed scale/area.

This game appeared in Moves one year after the April 1992 Los Angeles riots. Its systems are clearly inspired by Chicago, Chicago! A few of the counter images from the earlier game are used, there are the same three CRTs and the general idea is to get your own Exposure Index as high as possible. However, Miranda works many new variations and systems into the game, such as rules for helicopters, looting, command and control, fog of war and an extensive random events table peculiar to the incident. Miranda also includes an extensive analysis and set of notes on the game that was missing in Chicago, Chicago! (although the situations were quite different). Copies of Moves 75 are readily obtainable.
