I will: - Recruit a soldier, - Play an intel card to Imminent-4, - Claim the Elevated-3 case, - Play an intel card to Elevated-3, - Activate my face down asset, Elizabeth Gaines, and that’s the end of my turn. ---

Sorry, been quite busy this weekend. I discard Cooked Intel / (-3) for 2 Rep. I expend 3 clout for an intel card. My intention is to claim Guerrilla Dissidents at Guarded level and put one of my cards there, but I will wait to see what card I get before placing a soldier (or more) and a card EDIT: that was meant to be an asset card, not an intel, my bad. ---

As said before, if you can pop 2 soldiers on any imminent threat but mine I will drone strike it. ---

Why not yours, are you going to use one of your soldiers? EDIT: I get my _asset_ card (sorry again Roger) and discover it - Saul Berenson / Senior Analyst / 2 VP / When you Recruit an Asset, also take an Agent / When you Deploy an Agent, draw an Intel card I place my other card under Sectarian Insurgents at Elevated Level I place 2 soldiers on Political Splinter Group on column 4 (case from DJCT) I think that’s my turn done. ---

Round 7 begins. Play order this round: - RossM - DJCT - Assussanni - Chewy77 Threats to resolve now: Imminent-1: Militant Separatists: Sophistication 2, Impact 1 Imminent-3: Radicalized Local Militia: Sophistication 0, Impact 2 Before I start, could I have conditions for use of assets: @RossM: - Lynne Reed / Personal Escort / 4 VP / Take 1 Rep per Abu Nazir Threat Neutralized / Burn during Threat Analysis to add 4 to the red or blue total of a Threat @ Assussanni: - William Walden / Vice President of the United States / 2 VP / Once per Terrorist Turn, you may discard a Soldier to lower the Impact of a Threat by 1 / Drone Strike While you’re thinking about that I’ll sort out any intel card draws I haven’t done yet. ---

I’m confused as to why we drone struck Imminent-4 rather than Imminent-1. I will not use William Walden, I will save my soldier to discard to the fallout of Imminent-1. (If by some miracle the threat is neutralised, get back to me.) ---

Case lead: @Assussanni Militant Separatists / Frankfurt Sniper Attack Intel: - Evasive Ploy (-1) - Intercepted Intel (3) - 1 Agent Sophistication 2 + Complexity 7 = target 9 Intel card values (-1, 3, 1) = intel 3 Impact 1 Fallout: Case Lead must discard a Soldier or Burn an Asset You can lower the impact to zero but you can’t remove the fallout. Having spent the Soldier, you’ll have to burn an Asset. (Even if RossM burns Lynne that won’t help here.) (The alternative would be to let the Impact 1 happen, and then discard the Soldier rather than an Asset. Let me know which.) ---

OK, terrorist track is at 8/12, everyone gets a Clout. Imminent-3: Case lead: Chewy77 Radicalized Local Militia / Cross Continental Flight Bombing Special: - Surprise Attack!: Immediately Reveal 1 new Threat at Severe Intel: - Search Warrant (2) - Suicide Bombing (-3) Sophistication 0 + Complexity 6 = target 6 Intel card values (-3, 0, 2) = intel -1 Impact 2 Fallout: Case Lead must discard all undeployed Agents Again, nothing Lynne can do to help here. Chewy77 got two Soldiers from the two plot successes and Senator Richard Halsted, but loses their Agent. Two more clout for everyone. Threats advance; new threats are added.
