Cool, I think all the different iterations of this have been used in many of Arny's Movies.

That is a handy tool.

But no popular people's front.

Presumably Sendero Luminoso, Tupac Amaru, the Monteneros, MR-8, MR-28, M-19, Lord's Resistance Army and RAF etc rolled on a different table. :)

They did. The worst price was probably paid by the MR-8. Many of them, the ones who didn't get topped by the military, transmuted into part of the fucking PMDB.  ::) An ignominious end to a great start.

Still, I have have loved to have seen Fernando Gabeira as mayor of Rio. Gabeira is the brightest of the lot, largely untainted by that weird association. Oddly enough, one of the members of the M-19, famous/infamous for the Colombian Supreme Court Siege ended up as mayor of Bogotá IIRC.

Anyway, you should add a fourth optional die roll on a d100 to mark a significant day/month/ number of martyred comrades etc. :)
