Homeland PBF recruitment and game 1

Sorry all. Camping

Quick question. Is there any other cases I can add a soldier to and drone strike?

I see no cases with exactly one soldier on them, and since you start the turn with none in hand you won’t be able to add two anywhere.

Ok. Spend 3 rep and recruit.

Discards:

  • Scott Ryan / Military Liaison / 2 VP / When Reconning a Threat with a Soldier, you may choose 1 Intel card from the Threat to Burn / Drone Strike

So, whilst Roger processes my turn.

Am I drone striking or not?

I think it comes down to whether or not you trust me. I would rather you didn’t, so that I have somewhere to bury a bad card and then I can drone strike it on my turn with my hidden asset.

Ok. Sounds fair.

I Do Not drone strike.

Roger please process my turn.

and it’s @DJCT to play.

So @Assussanni i can get rid of bad cards in imminent 4?

Imminent-2 is the one with 2 soldiers on, I assume that is drone strike target 1. If you have a second target you’d like to volunteer with your 2 soldiers we can drone strike that as well. Imminent-4 might be a good candidate, I think I need the mystery Intel card to be high positive to have a chance at succeeding and my hand is all red.

(ping @DJCT when you get a chance)

Apologies. So I seem to have two imminent and probably not enough cards on them! I think I can take Guarded 2. Then for @Assussanni i can add 2 soldiers to imminent 4.

Then I can play a card to imminent 2 to get rid and a card to imminent 6 to try make the difference.

Am checking with @RogerBW whether get stuff for discarding a particular card. If it is net positive I will discard, recruit a soldier and end my turn.

Sorry for the wait.

And @RogerBW Has confirmed so I discard compromised intel. Turn over

@Assussanni to play and close out the round.

Firstly, I’ll discard 2 Clout and 1 Rep to recruit an Asset.

I’ll then:

  • discard my highest, yes highest, card: Media Attention (-1) for 1 Rep,
  • claim the remaining case, Low-1,
  • place an Intel card under Imminent-2,
  • place an Intel card under Imminent-4. It doesn’t matter which goes where, because:
  • activate Asset: 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,
  • drone strike Imminent-2 and Imminent-4.

And I think that’s the end of my turn.

Assussanni discards

Special Agent Hall / Bureau Liaison / 3 VP / When you are affected by Fallout, choose another player to receive the effect instead / No effect on Global Fallout

Round 6

Play order this round:

  • DJCT
  • Assussanni
  • Chewy77
  • RossM

Threats to resolve now:

  • Radicalized Local Militia: Sophistication 0, Impact 1
  • General Danesh Akbari: Sophistication 3, Impact 2
  • Lone Wolf: Sophistication 0, Impact 1
  • Majid Javadi: Sophistication 3, Impact 2

Several players have relevant Assets that can engage with Threat Analysis. I’ll stop and ask, or you can give me conditional orders. Specifically:

RossM / Carrie Mathison / +1 to all your cases
RossM / Lynne Reed / Burn during Threat Analysis to add 4 to the red or blue total of a Threat
Chewy77 / Senator Richard Halsted / When any Plot Succeeds, take a Soldier
Assussanni: / William Walden / Once per Terrorist Turn, you may discard a Soldier to lower the Impact of a Threat by 1 (I have conditions for this).

Case lead: RossM
Radicalized Local Militia / Market Square Bombing

Special:

  • Psych Evaluation: Case Lead: Exposure

Intel:

  • Warrantless Wiretap (2)
  • Interagency Cooperation (2)
  • Interagency Cooperation (2)
  • Blown Cover (-2)
  • Embed Operatives (3)
  • Compromised Intel (-2)
  • 1 Agent
  • +1 Carrie Mathison

Sophistication 0 + Complexity 6 = target 6
Intel card values (-2, -2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1) = intel 7
Impact 1

@RossM do you want to burn (remove from the game) Lynne? Probably a good idea to PM me the conditions under which you will.

Why would I burn an asset when the plot is going to be foiled anyway?

EDIT am I missing something obvious?
