If you make a successful run on R&D using Demolition Run, you may not give a Doom counter AND trash the rezzed ice on the fort; you must do one or the other. |

If you have more than one "you may do A instead of B," then you can do as many or as few A's as you like whenever B would have happened. However, if B never would have happened, then you can't do any of the A's. Demolition Run means that you never would have accessed cards, so you can't use Armageddon, or related effects. |

Each time you would access cards, you can use as many Armageddons as you like. |

You can give the Corp a Doom counter even if the number of cards you would have accessed has been reduced to zero or less. |

Each time the Corp installs a card, each counter produces a separate effect, but the Corp must roll dice equal to the number of Doom counters in play. If any 6s are rolled, the card is trashed. For each 6 rolled, the Corp removes a Doom counter. This means that more than one Doom counter could be removed with a single installation. |

Trivia
The artwork is an imitation of the popular shooter game DOOM from the 1990ies. Doom is a synonym of Armageddon and the flavour text also harbors the term 'Deathmatch' which refers to a mode of the game, and the refernce to '2020' could be linked to the game 'Cyberpunk 2020' upon which Netrunner is based. |
