In reply to an AAR I made comments about symbols on the Ares damage cards. I thought it was worth repeating here, especially for new players.
On the damage deck cards the symbols for gun jam, and engine damage are quite similar. In a game when a person draws a card without another for comparison, it can be baffling as to what the damage is. The most common mistake is to take gun jam damage for an engine damage symbol.
In checking this out, I realised that the clearest way to differentiate between gun jam and engine damage is that gun jam symbols are either green or red. The engine damage symbol is black. So, go by the colour instead of scratching your head too long about the symbol.
