Weapon Tiles

Each weapon tile shows the weapon's name, its printed attack values, and its own ability text. The attack values are shown as icons; they are described below as the icon appears, not as the manual names them.

Chainsaw

• Printed values: a hearing-type icon, a 2 attack value, a range-type icon with a red marker, and an ammo icon with an infinity symbol (unlimited).
• Ability text: "[illegible line]". The line between the attack values and the flavour text is blurred in the photograph and cannot be read.
• "Also hits all adjacent agents and aliens."
• "Flip this weapon after the attack."

Dynamite

• Printed values: a grenade-type image (the tile is drawn as a dynamite bundle), a 4 attack value, and a range-type icon with a value of 1.
• Ability text: "Area damage."

Revolver

• Printed values: a grenade-type icon, a 3 attack value, a range-type icon with a red marker, and an ammo icon with a value of 6.
• Ability text: "Discard 1 ammo to use if [shield-type icon] 1 or less, +1 [attack icon]." The shield-type icon sits inside the range-type frame in the photograph; the value next to it is read as 1.

Sawed-Off

• Printed values: a grenade-type icon, a 2 attack value, a range-type icon with a value of 1, and an ammo icon with a value of 2.
• Ability text: "Area damage. Discard 1 ammo to add +1 [attack icon]."
• "Flip this weapon after the attack."

Tommy Gun

• Printed values: a grenade-type icon, a 1 attack value, a range-type icon with a red marker, and an ammo icon with a value of 5.
• Ability text: "Area damage. Discard 1 ammo to add +1 [attack icon]."

Pistol

• Printed values: a grenade-type icon, a 2 attack value, a range-type icon with a red marker, and an ammo icon with an infinity symbol (unlimited).
• Ability text: "Ignore any [warning icon] if [shield-type icon] 1 or less, +1 [red attack icon]." The shield-type value is read as 1 from the photograph.

Other Tiles

Badge of Command

• Title and small header line are not legible at this size.
• Ability text: "Refresh the NPC tactic of all NPCs within 1 area."

Captain Go

• Card type: Generic, passive. The header line reads "Captain Go" with a "Generic" label.
• Ability text: "Start each mission with a randomly drawn NPC assigned to you. All attacks performed by any NPC assigned to you add +1 [attack icon]." The final attack icon and its value are small and only partly legible; the value is read as +1.

Natural Leader

• Card type: Generic. The header line reads "Natural Leader".
• Ability text: "Activate one NPC assigned to you. If that NPC performs an attack during this turn, it causes Critical 2." The word "Critical 2" is printed in yellow at the bottom of the tile and is read as shown.

Gaps and Uncertainties

• Source: single card-face photograph, 402 x 800 pixels. No rulebook, rules sheet or card list for this set was found.
• Tile count: nine tiles are visible in the photograph (Chainsaw, Dynamite, Revolver, Sawed-Off, Tommy Gun, Pistol, Badge of Command, Captain Go, Natural Laser). The set's total count is not stated in any reachable source, so the set may contain more tiles than are shown here.
• Icons: the grenade-type, range-type, shield-type, warning and attack icons are described by appearance. Their meaning in the base game is not restated on the tiles, so the base rulebook should be consulted for their exact definitions.
• Illegible text: the Chainsaw's middle line, the Badge of Command title and header, and the final icon on Captain Go are not readable at this resolution.
• Small numerals: the ammo values (Revolver 6, Sawed-Off 2, Tommy Gun 5) and the range values are small and were read at the upscaled resolution; treat them as needing a check against a higher-resolution source.
• Tile name: the sourcer's notes call the fifth ability tile "Natural Laser"; the header in the photograph reads "Natural Leader", and the brain icon fits that reading. The tile is transcribed under "Natural Leader" here; confirm the printed name before release.
• Lead for a fuller source: the Ares Games product page for this set (Cloudflare-gated at the time of checking) may carry a card list or rules sheet.
