Alright, and then Bernice places a gang and moves back to Invasion

John Dark has no one to attack, and doesn't move

That makes it the Enemy Phase

The Despair Track moves to the 5, passing 1. This moves the Lord Track to the 2, adds four courage to the Courage Pool, and adds a despair die to the Despair Pool.

The fiend then attacks Dorothy. It rolls 2 10. This is two hits -- but there are 2 gangs there who can take both hits. Also, you have a Foreign Legion who could take the entire thing. Do you want to take any damage here?

Note that taking some damage at some point is a good idea, because a bunch of my level-up slots come with a free pulse of mass healing to everyone. No point in wasting that.

My toughness is 1, I don't think I'll have a problem taking hits. Since I have Brevet and I'm probably waiting in this space for you folks to catch up, I think I want to either clear out the gangs so better speedbumps can be positioned here, or just get a pool courage off the FL. More courage early in the game seems better and these troops don't really get better, so I'll sac my Foreign Legion I think!

As in, that is the action I'm taking, but I'm open to being yelled at that it's a horrible mistake!

Let's assume for now that you did that, and we can revisit it if there's a panic

That adds 1 pool courage

That fiend then moves to the Invasion space

An invasion token moves into Area 3, and is revealed. The roll is 1 1 2 3 3. That's a gryllus, a cacodemon, and two larvae



Image



It's now Ambush time. The 2 gangs can attack the cacodemon/gryllus/larvae, but this will remove 1 of the 2 gangs; so Captain Amelia must decide

They can't hurt the cacodemon, right? No ambush.

Alright, that's going to make it the Team Phase

Dorothy becomes Captain

I imagine that Dorothy is giving 1 courage to John Dark and 1 courage to Bernice

Cissy Salem can heal herself for free

You roll to recruit:

John Dark rolls 1
Amelia rolls 4
Bernice rolls 3

Very good and you get another para

- John Dark could get another paramilitary by spending a courage
- Bernice could get up to a gendarme
- With 6 courage in the pool, certainly someone can get a gift

Alright, and there is still 6 pool courage, which is enough to get somebody something

If no one wants anything further, then it will be time to move to the Hero Phase

hold up.

i think there is some degree of snowballing in this game. shouldnt we be spending our courage?

if i take a card i raise my attack die. also, emergency leave seems like a good thing to get early to farm courage.

To some degree. Not all Gifts are created equally, and we can expect the Gift to be reset once the game starts rolling.

One might consider setting up powerful ambushes to be an early game goal, as they're important buffers for the mid-late game and they provide more benefit the longer they're on the table.

Yeah I think when I had said that, I had forgotten that Bernice had just moved back to Invasion. So you're not able to give her courage.

As Captain, you must decide whether sea can spend pool courage on a gift

Alright, and you lower your max health by 1 forever but raise your attack die to a d8. I assume you use your own 2 courage + 3 pool courage to pay for that, without using your own 1 luck, luck being the hardest-to-obtain commodity.

No Amelia is going to take your turn, and hide it somewhere, and you have to count to 20 and then find it
