Cool let's go south Korea for two and then look at a coup somewhere exciting

At defcon 2 we can't putch anyone around in Europe. How about Iran? I don't think we have to be next door to attempt a coup as long as the Borschteratti have at least 1 influence point incountry already. We would have to roll higher than 4 (twice Iran's stability value) minus our coup points.

I'm good for that

??? Did we skip over a few turns? I know it's inevitable but I thought it would take a few more years before Occidens Invictus.

Interesting. lets give it a go - as long as I don't have to roll the dice.

I guess the Americans are afraid of us again. 8)

Is attempting a coup done using ops points from a card or from military ops?

Basically in the next turn were looking at playing a 2 ops card to place 2 units of influence somewhere and then declare a coup, again somewhere..... or are we talking about 2 separate turns here?

Going back a few posts- are we stuck with undesirable cards? If so do we then dump on the Space Race, losing the option to place influence anywhere?

undercovergeek · December 28, 2013, 11:29:46 AM

Yeah the 2 Soviet cards need dropping on the space race whether we do that now and play for influence at the end or influence now and space race later... I'm easy

So if we don't have to do that now then I like propping up S. K. or trying to flip Iran. Of the two only Iran gets us military cred, right?

undercovergeek · December 28, 2013, 11:55:43 AM

In total agreement I just don't know if that's all doable in one turn

Staggerwing · December 28, 2013, 12:15:27 PM

We can only do one of them right now. S.K. is a sure thing, Iran would require a die roll of 3 or higher (if I understand the coup mechanics).
