I might as well spend it, if I cannot use it for anything else. At least that way I can exert myself once. So up to 2 wounds, and that’s me done, having a drink in Café in Montmartre.
@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
Enjoy!
On to Dudley then, trying to see what happened with his …
- Missed Jump This test is Agility 6+ X and the reward is 3 Glory.
I expect he might have to use a few exertion attempts on this, but let’s see.
Dudley rolls pool 3: 2, 4, 5
@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
Nearly - so time to use those 3 spare wounds (of 4) and exert!
Exert 1: pool 1: 6

Nice one. Good dice!
@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
Oh success! Sadly the thief escapes but Dudley catches hold of a railing while falling from the rooftop which breaks his fall to the ground. He loses 1 Wound leaving him with 3 now, but gains another 3 Glory, giving him 16.
Now, Dudley can use the Ciity although doesn’t draw another City card. First, he sells the Temple Treasure for 4 Fortune being at a Major City. This gives the Heroes a whopping 26 Fortune (including Zhukov’s escape from the quicksand and Cartwright’s sale earlier) leaving them only 4 to gain to win!
Next he heals his 2 Wounds for 2 Glory (leaving him 14 Glory), taking him back to his maximum of 5 Wounds.
Then he spends 5 Glory on an Allies card (leaving him 9) and draws …
- Friend of “The Family” (Location: New York) You may pay 2 Glory to give any Hero (including yourself) +2 Fight Dice for one Fight Round. This may be used multiple times per Fight Round.
Sounds like the “Family” like our Moxie and want to see if they can help us out, if we help them out …
I like that and am tempted to go for another Ally but let’s save my Glory for now, especially with Zhukov in a spot of bother next round. Dudley ends his turn.
Villain Phase next, starting with the Villain Event card, which is …
- Tenacious Play this card on a random Villain in play, who gains +1 Combat.
So, let’s say 1-3 is Herr Teufel, 4-6 is Tresa and roll pool 1: 5
@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
Tresa gains +1 Combat, giving her 4 now - unless someone wants to cancel that…
But we can move on for now, to the Outpost and Zeppelin Step. First we roll for the Secret Base, getting … pool 1: 5
@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
So an ¡a new Axis Soldier appears in … (draws Location card) … Japan.
Now the War Zeppelin heads towards… (draws Location card) … India and rolls to move getting pool 1: 3
@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
I make it the quickest way (in 6 movement) would be to go via the Pacific, and the Zeppelin is now in the Pacific Crossing.
Now the Villains Adventure. Herr Teufel now becomes Deployed and goes to Western Europe to search for the Amulet of Power next round.
Tresa can now start her search for the Hammer of the Ancients, but being in the Deep Jungle of the Amazon, must first find the location, needing a 4+ on one die and rolling pool 1: 1
Okay - Tresa doesn’t find the location of the Hammer so continues her search next round. A busy round ends - with the Heroes nearly having won but needing one Artifact sale to make sure and Zhukov in another desperate Cliffhanger! Join us in the morning European time for Round 6!

@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
I doubt any of us are going to stay in a City this Round but, just in case, here are the available Common Items for sale.
We start with the Initiative Phase:
-
Zhukov (@RogerBW) rolls
pool 1: 1 -
Cartwright (@Chewy77) rolls
pool 1: 3 -
Dudley (@gmwhite999) rolls
pool 1: 1
So Cartwright goes first, followed by Dudley then Zhukov. But both the later get an Event card again!
Zhukov draws …
- "If I Could Just Reach …" Play to immediately take any Ally or Gear card from a discard pile OR Choose any unsold Common Item and roll a d6. Take that item if the roll is equal to or greater than its listed cost. A roll of 6 will always succeed, regardless of the Item’s cost.
Nice - either to get Reggie back or try for another item, although you can’t use guns on the Zeppelin, remember.
Dudley draws …
- Expanding Influence. Play Immediately. Place a Mobster Thug in 2 Random Cities on the board. (Limit 1 per City.)
Those cities are … (drawing Location cards) … Tokyo and Moscow.
On to the Movement Phase now, Cartwright (@chewy) - where do you wish to move to?
I am guessing that my plans to visit Greece might be postponed, as leaving Paris will put me in Western Europe with the German squad from Teufel, so… roll to get to Western Europe (as a minimum I will get a 1) to challenge them for the Amulet?
No - Axis Soldiers with a major Villain are bodyguards, so unlike Soldiers on their own, they do not impede a Hero’s movement, so you can get to Greece as you wished.
Ah, what the heck, let’s join the International Brigades and get into Civil War torn Spain…
(when it comes to Zhukov’s turn) If I can play “If I Could Just Reach” before the cliffhanger resolution that will certainly help a lot.

I was just thinking that, it will come in handy.
You can indeed - maybe for Timmy (Reggie) to make a surprise return from his sandy grave?
@Chewy77 asked for a die roll:
Here we go, off to the Iberian Peninsula.
pool 1: 2
@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
Okay - well, you didn’t need to roll but did and get another Even card, which is …
- Extra Effort. Play on any Hero to give them +2 Agility or +2 Combat for one Test or Fight Round.
Dudley will not roll to move, but can make it to the Amazon Jungle in 4 steps so is going there to try and race Tresa to the Hammer of the Ancients.
Zhukov cannot move - well, he is fighting for his life 5’000 feet above ground - but can roll for movement in the hope of another Event card, getting … pool 1: 6.
