Hi all! I down load the game over two years ago just before I emerged from unemployment. That said I didn't get the time to print and assemble till a few weeks ago. I put this one together for a vacation so I had something to do while waiting for the family to wake up. Yes, yes I'm a real early riser. Well enough of me now my questions,

I will be dealing with the basic and Advance game, not any expansions.
First: When playing Event card 7 (blue) Outside (reads: 3 infantrymen on tracked motorcycle block your way!) do you have to retreat to another terrain tile? If so does it have to be the one you came from or can you go to another tile?

Second: Can you evade an event even if it does not have Infantry, Paratroopers or SS Soldiers?

Third: When I have the Flamethrower and then acquire or already have the Gasoline, can I fill the Flamethrower and discard the empty can to free up one slot to carry another item?

Thank you for your input in advance!

PS Emmanuel, Thank you for this eloquent game. It is a great little battle game that one can play over and over with drastically different outcomes. This is an engaging solitaire battle simulation that plays well without having to dig through pages of rules or rolling on a mountain of charts. Plus the compact size makes it a great game to have everywhere you go. Hurrah on getting this published!!

Hey Jim! Thanks for the compliments!

This encounter is not different from all the other ones: you can choose to fight or evade. If you evade, you have to go back to any adjacent tile you have already explored.

Maybe it's the "block your way" that gives you the impression you cannot advance. It's just flavor text. The only thing that matters is the bold letters (3 Infantrymen), which tells you that this is an encounter.

Nope. You can only evade encounters (unless the Event specifically mentions that you can evade).

Quote:

Yes. As mentioned in the rules (in the Flame-Thrower description), the Gasoline allows the Flame-Thrower to have more than 2 uses. So if you empty the jerrycan in the FmW35, you still have 1 hand free!

Hope this helps,

E

Emmanuel, thanks for the quick response. Sounds like I played everything correct except the first question. I played out the event then retreated back to the original tile. Now I know!

Thanks again.
