I agree that if their next play is not ME scoring we should grab Iran. Other point should go to SE Asia.

It's an Early War card and may not be held over for the next turn if it is in your possession.  See: http://twilightstrategy.com/2011/12/12/regions-europe/

I must have missed the 'holding' cards thing. So if we have a lousy card we can hold it for the next turn (in some cases)? anyway, if all Early cards are dealt then the Better Red than Dead must have it in their hand.

Typically, you are dealt one more card than there are rounds so you would have a card that is held over for the next turn.  However (and I'd have to go back and look), IIRC, you guys had to play an extra card for something in one of the earlier rounds.  I'll dig in to that some time today to make sure.

If that Euro score card is going to come up at the end will the event trigger? Or has that card already come and gone?

[undercovergeek]

do ALL cards get dealt? or is it just a selection?

just thinking aloud Stagger - if youre thinking the Europe card is with them or still in the deck, does that mean we can let europe go to s*** and there is no point investesting there?

[undercovergeek]

lol posted at same time - they havent played it, looking at the board theyd either lose or it would be a stalemate, its useless to them right now, but if they bin it - how valuable are operations in europe if we're never going to pull the score for it?

[Staggerwing]

We might get it next round if they can't hold it between turns and it goes back in play.

[GJK]

Scoring cards cannot be held, they *must* be played the turn that they are dealt.

[Staggerwing]

Have all cards from the early deck been dealt? Or are there still some waiting for the next shuffle/turn that neither side has seen? If so, again, the Euro score card might still come our way. We would need to be ready (prepared on the map) to use it since it's an instawin.

[GJK]

The "Early War" turns last for 3 turns.

[Staggerwing]

Yeah, I just went back to the card list and saw that there are some thirty-odd cards in the early group so only 16 have beed dealt so far IIRC.

[undercovergeek]

i think we would collect more points from it being played - i think, IF they have it, thats why its not been played it - their next aggressive move may indicate where if any there other score cards lay

[Ubercat]

Everything OK, guys?

I've lost track as to where we are - been a bit busy IRL  ???
