EVENT CARDS

Other types of cards remain in play. 

SETUP
Decide who is the Heroes and who is the Umbrella Corporation. 
Players take possession of their respective decks. 
The Umbrella player starts with all 6 Facility cards in play except for the New Facility. 
The Hero searches his deck for 1 Team Card and puts it into play. 
Players shuffle their decks. 
Each player draws 2 cards for their starting Hand. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Each turn has 6 Phases: 
Draw Phase
Event Phase
Recruit Phase
Assault Phase
Search Phase
End Phase

DRAW PHASE
Each player draws 2 cards. 
If a deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 
If the Hero player has no Teams in play, he must search his 
Deck for a Team, put it in play, and then shuffle his deck. 

EVENT PHASE
Certain Event cards are played only in this Phase
Players take turns, starting with the Umbrella player. 

RECRUIT PHASE
Cards are put into play from the players hand. 
The Hero player puts Team cards into play. 
When putting a card into play, place it face up on the table. 
The Hero player puts Character cards into play. 
Character cards must be Attached to Team cards. 
Place Character cards stacked and slightly staggered under a Team card. 
A Team card may have up to 2 Characters attached. 
A Team may have 3 characters attached if at least one of them is a Survivor.
The Umbrella player may play one or more Units.
The Umbrella player may play the New Facility card.  
  
ASSAULT PHASE
The Hero player may conduct one Assault: 
One of his Teams may attack one target Facility. 
The Hero player commits the Team, its Characters, and any Event cards he wants to 
Play that will assist an Assault. 
He adds up the Force values and bonuses of all these cards and adds 2D6. 
This is the Assault Force Total (AFT). 
The Umbrella player commits the targeted Facility, One Unit, one or more Traps and 
Any events that will assist in defending against the Assault. 
He adds up the Force values and bonuses of all these cards and adds 2D6. 
This is the Facility Defense Total (FDT). 
If the AFT is equal to or greater than the FDT the base is destroyed and removed from play. 
If the FDT is greater the Team is destroyed and removed from play. 
Any attached characters of a destroyed Team will 50% be discarded or 50% be put 
Back in the Hero players hand. 
If the Facility is destroyed all other cards used in its defense are discarded. 
If the Facility wins, there is a 50% chance the defending unit is still discarded. 
Win or lose all Event and Trap cards are discarded. 
Spent Rule: An Umbrella unit, even if it wins, has a 50% chance after combat of being discarded. 

SEARCH PHASE
The Umbrella player may conduct one Search and Destroy Mission: 
One of his Units may attack one target Team. 
This is handled just like an Assault. 
The Umbrella player generates a Search and Destroy Force Total (SDFT).
The Hero player generates a Team Defense Total (TDT). 
Spent Rule: An Umbrella unit, even if it wins, has a 50% chance after combat of being discarded. 

END PHASE
Max hand size is 5 cards. 
Players discard excess cards. 

CARD LIMITATIONS
Some Umbrella Cards can only be used for Defense. 
Some only for Search and Destroy (S&D). 
Vehicles can only be used for S&D except if defending the Tanker. 
Note that if the New Facility has not yet been played (built) and the Umbrella 
Player has lost his other six Facilities, he will automatically lose.
