Oopsie daisy. Ok, I place my 3 points card on Sectarian Insurgents and the 1 point card to the other Imminent case from @Assussanni, Political Splinter Group

142

Is that enough @Assussanni ?

@RossM to play, then DJCT to finish the round.

144

I haven’t worked out the exact odds, but if the mystery Intel card is blue or gold then the threat is neutralised. So probably at about 60% or so to pass at the moment.

145

Ok. I can drop an agent and get perfect information?

146

I certainly don’t object to that. I’ve put in a couple of high value cards because the complexity for this case is also high.

If you do put an agent there it is also another +1, which I’d expect would mean that only a large negative number on the starting intel would sink us.

147

Ok. Order is important here.

Spend three clout to recruit an asset.

148

Discard:

  • Mansour al-Zahrani / Senior Diplomat / 3 VP / +2 to all Religious Extremist Threats / Draw 2 Intel cards when a Religious Extremist Threat is Neutralized

Take and activate:

  • 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
149

Pop an agent on @Assussanni imminent and peek at everything with Carries ability.

150

Argh. It’s tied. Adding a +3 to confirm it’s sorted.

@DJCT for the final player turn of the round.

153

Any thoughts / requests before I act?

154

Only that imminent 1 and severe 1 are both dealt with so please don’t play cards on them

155

Nothing from me.

(@RogerBW I think Imminent-1 should have another Agent on it in your summary table - RossM just placed a third one on it.)

In which case there wasn’t a tie and I’ve wasted a card?

157

See private thread.

158

Ok. Everything is fine. Roger and I have had a non suspicious discussion.

Ok claim severe 6, play a card to that and to severe 2. Place a soldier on severe 2 and recruit a soldier if possible.

That’s all fine.

  • Do you want to look at the intel cards on Severe-2, in which case you’ll have to add a new one?
  • Do you want to discard your last intel card for tokens?
  • Any other actions?
161

I have added a good card to severe 2 so don’t want to mess that up, and the other card I have is a good one too. So I will keep and hold at that I think, end of turn
