And there is a gold card on the case.

Thanks for confirming.

102

And if we struggle with any row, I have a lovely asset here to deal with multiple problems.

103

Am I allowed to say precisely what I played to RossM’s stack?

104

You can say whatever you like, but you can’t prove it.

105

Ok I put in a negative card as my hand was bad and it was far away and being handled. Wasn’t sure at the time if chat allowed!

106

Awesome thanks all.

The two red cards are from @DJCT and myself In turn one.

107

Ok so I will claim elevated danesh, play a card to that and to chewy’s militant separatists.

Recruit a soldier.

OK - anything else?

109

Assuming there isn’t anything else, @Chewy77 & @DJCT : do either of you want any help with your Imminent threat? It wouldn’t be much be might just tip things in our favour.

110

Ok how can I do that?

111

I’m just wondering where I should play my second Intel card on my turn. It could go towards one of the two imminent threats if either of you think you need the help.

112

I put a +1 blue on chewys

113

I have to admit that my card was just enough to deal with it, so no idea what else anybody placed there.

EDIT: @RossM beat me to it. Mine was Harsh interrogation at 3

114

(For the record I’m waiting for @DJCT to confirm no more actions. It would be helpful in general if players could say “end of turn” or similar.)

It think that means end of turn for me, so end of turn!

116

Sound like the Imminent-2 threat has the Sophistication covered but not the Complexity and I’m not sure my card will do enough to help with that.

My turn:

  • Claim remaining case: Elevated-4,
  • Play Intel to my new case (Elevated-4),
  • Play Intel to DJCT’s Imminent-1 case,
  • Discard Intel card (Cooked Intel, -3) for 2 Rep,
  • Deploy an Agent to Elevated-4 and look at its Plot card,
  • Recruit a Soldier.

End of turn.

I need to review my turns, but I think I placed a good card in there, Abu Nazir rings a bell…

118

End of round 3.

Round 4 starts.

Play order this round:

  • Assussanni
  • Chewy77
  • RossM
  • DJCT

Threats to resolve now:
1-1: Abu Nazir: Sophistication 4, Impact 1

Case lead: DJCT
Abu Nazir / Overseas Station Burglary

Special:

  • Fishing: Add 2 random Intel Cards from the Intel Deck to this Threat

Those extra cards are Forensic Data Analysis (+2) and Media Attention (-1).

Intel:

  • Full Background Check (1)
  • Warrantless Wiretap (2)
  • Embed Operatives (3)

Sophistication 4 + Complexity 8 = target 12
Intel card values (-1, 0, 1, 2, 2, 3) = intel 7

Plot succeeds.
Impact 1

Fallout:
Case Lead must discard deployed Agents from all their Cases

(there are no Agents on your other case)

1-2: Religious Extremists: Sophistication 3, Impact 2

Case lead: Chewy77
Religious Extremists / Bribe Military Contractors

Intel:

  • Harsh Interrogation (3)
  • Cell Phone Records (1)
  • Rendition Flight (3)

Sophistication 3 + Complexity 5 = target 8
Intel card values (1, 3, 3) = intel 7

Plot succeeds.
Impact 2

Fallout:
Case Lead Exposure

So not the greatest of successes, with the terrorist track standing at 3/12, but everyone has received 3 Clout.

@Assussanni to play.

119

Hold on @RogerBW

If chewy had activated the asset, with two plots successful, they could have gained two soldiers?

120

Yes, but it wasn’t active until the Case Lead Exposure, which was the fallout from the second successful plot.
