I thought a neat way to ask this question was by a poll. Forgive me if it is lame...

Poll

When a Mob War starts, when exactly does the first person on the list die?

	Immediately on the player's turn who started the Mob War
	Next player's turn (beginning), before they draw or are allowed to play a card
	Next player's turn (end), after they draw and/or play a card
	Other (please explain)

The answer seems clear to me as the group's rule book reader.
"Next player's turn (beginning), before they draw or are allowed to play a card."
So, as soon as the next player's turn starts the first mobster on the hit list is offed, then the player draws a card and continues play as normal.

*Facepalm* blush

I read through most of the threads in the rules sub-forum and missed one that answered my question directly!

Hits begin on the next turn after a mob war starts and take place at the start of each player's turn, before a card is drawn from the action deck.

I must be missing something ... where's the confusion?

That's what you thought the rule was, because you read that in the rule book and you've found a post that also agrees?

I see how my post can lead one to think I'm quarreling with myself...
Tonight was my first time playing, and teaching to a couple "non-gamers."
While getting heated up over losing their last mobsters, they tried to quickly play cards that remove them from the hit list (during a Mob War, but on THE turn their mobster was to be discarded).
At the time I didn't see anything in the rules (that I could look up before losing people's interest) that stated you didn't get a chance to save your mobster that would be first to go.

In summary, we had a disagreement in our group, and I wanted to find the official ruling. I just acted with too much haste in my post...
