Table of Contents

Civic Hero card. Strengths 3 / 1; Movement 4.

Abilities:

Thrifty Quartermaster: While she is in a Town space, you receive a "Saving Roll" for each Ammo you lose or spend for any reason. On a roll of 5 or 6, that Ammo is not lost or spent.
The Iron Volunteer: She can occupy a Hospital Staff Office space. While there, units discharged from the Hospital during the Action Phase receive an immediate free Action.
Combat Coach: Any unit she is stacked with (including those in Town Center) receive +1 Strength in Hand-to-Hand combat.
Pistol Top Shot: Her Gunfire attacks receive 1 [right-arrow icon]. She rolls an additional die for all Gunfire attacks, selecting which dice to use to determine the outcome. In addition, the first Gunfire attack she makes on any turn costs 0 Ammo.

Equine Hero card. Strengths 2 / 1; Movement 6.

Abilities:

Saddle Up: General Lee can carry one non-Mounted human or primate Hero unit at a time; that Hero receives a "free" ride as part of General Lee's Movement Action. General Lee and his rider act as one unit for stacking purposes.
Cavalry Charge: Any Hero stacked with General Lee gains 1 Strength and does not increase [skull icon] when they engage in Hand-to-Hand combat.
Thoroughbred: General Lee receives one free Move Action each Action Phase. Place the Thoroughbred marker on this card to keep track of when you have used this ability.
Horse Sense: When this unit has no rider, it cannot voluntarily enter a Chaos or Tunnel space.
A Horse is a Horse: This unit never increases [skull icon] when attacking or defending in Hand-to-Hand combat. He cannot build Barricades, use vehicles, restore order, or make arrests.
Run, Flicka, Run!: This unit (and its rider) can choose to retreat before being attacked in Hand-to-Hand combat.

Heroic Civilians unit card. Strengths 1* / 1*; Movement 3.

Abilities:

Strategists: At the start of each Action Phase, roll one die. If the result is greater than (>) the number of Event Actions received that turn, gain one additional (+1) Event Action (even if that increases the number of Event Actions past 4). Replace the Event Action marker with the Check Mates™ Event Action marker as a reminder.
*Ruse de Jeu: Each Refugees unit in the Refugee Camp increases this unit's full strength side by +1 (and reduced strength side by +½, rounded down) as new people join the club with a mind to fight Zeds.

Mounted Hero card. Strengths 8 / 4; Movement 5.

Abilities:

King of the Road: Carter and his truck are "one." He cannot voluntarily enter the Tunnel track, conduct Gunfire attacks, increase [skull icon] during Hand-to-Hand combat, nor can he make Arrests.
Cargo Hauler: Carter enters play on any above-ground Start space with his Cargo marker showing its Loaded side. When he reaches Town Center, his Move Action ends; flip the Cargo marker to its Empty side and immediately gain +5 Supplies and +3 Ammo. His truck can be reloaded at any Start space by spending 1 Action to do so.
Zeds Plow: To attempt to move through a Zeds-occupied space, upon entering it, roll one die: on a 4, 5, or 6 inflict 1 Hit on each Zeds in that space and Carter can continue moving. Otherwise, Carter stops and conducts Hand-to-Hand combat with no [skull icon] increase.
Repairs: Carter never suffers Hits; his truck does. However, after receiving 6 Hits, he gets a Saving Roll. If successful, he enters the Hospital where, after 1 Heal Action, he is discharged. He can Repair his truck in Town Center or a Start space by spending 1 Supply or 1 Action per Hit removed. No more than 1 Hit can be removed per turn.

The Abilities text above is reproduced as printed on the four Hero cards. This document adds no rules beyond that text.
Dice icons are written out as the base rulebook's Symbol Key defines them: a single die icon is "roll one die". Where a card shows the faces of dice (Mrs. May Hauser's "5 or 6", and the "4, 5, or 6" of Carter's Zeds Plow), the faces are written as numbers.
The [right-arrow icon] on Mrs. May Hauser's Pistol Top Shot is a column shift. Under the base rules, a shift to the right is a plus (see Rule 6, step 3, Apply Column Shifts). The card gives no further explanation.
The [skull icon] appears on General Lee and on "Big Wheels" Carter. It is printed on the cards as a skull and is not defined on these cards; the cards are reproduced with the icon in place and its meaning is not restated here.
The Strength values marked with an asterisk on Check Mates™ ("1*") are printed that way. The asterisk pairs with the *Ruse de Jeu ability on that card.
The Thoroughbred marker, the Cargo marker (Loaded and Empty sides) and the Check Mates™ Event Action marker are named on the cards. They are components of this expansion pack and are not transcribed as separate rules.
The card names, card type lines, Strength and Movement numbers are read from the card's printed layout. The copyright and publisher lines printed on the cards are not transcribed.
