Yihadist begun this turn trying to reduce American operations by playing Martyrdoom operations to place two plots in USA. One other cell moves to Philippines.
USA reacts by sacrificing two 3-ops cards and removing both plots but allowing two free travels, to Morocco and to USA.
Now, hoping that US player is running out of 3-ops cards, Yihadist recruits three cells in Afghanistan by playing Opium event and try two moreplots in Pakistan (again to hit US prestige). But he rolled a 5 and a 6 !!!! and both plots failed.
US player is unmenaced now and he quietly can play WoI in Central Asia to shift the country to Good (another roll of 5) and reduce funding by -2.
Yihadist situation is beginning to be disperated. He moves two cell to Gulf States and made three yihad attempts to remove some Good countries. But rolled again 6-4-4 to fail the three yihads.
Two cells in Arabia are disrupted which increase prestige by +1 and play some reserves waiting for Yihadist menaces.
After some travels to Somalia, US removes troops from Pakistan and Arabia. Yihadist finally succeeds to put an uncontested plot in Rusia to increase funding.
End of turn: Poor Countries:8. Good Countries:6. Good Resources: 9. Prestige: 12. GWOT: -3. Funding: 8.
Analysis: Very bad turn for Yihadist. His early play on USA effectively cut American 3-ops cards but then any attempts to plot in countries with troops or minor yihad failed. On the contrary, American achieve many goals: he removed many troops to come back to low intensity, prestige is still at maximum and Good resources are at a menacing 9.
