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.

This is funny because it's true.   :D

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. :)

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Actually, they cheated. And look how badly it went for them!

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. :)
