According to manual, many Events in fact need a roll to be implemented, depending on whether the roll succeeds or not.

However, when I play such an Event card, how can I know if the roll has failed or been successful?

Die rolls are performed when the events are drawn, to check if they can be kept or not. There's no log where such die rolls are displayed, sorry.

I'm asking, because yesterday I played the "Right of Passage" event in Early August 1914, during the Military phase, as the Entente, with the aim of asking RoP through Belgium as, in the Event's description it says I have the choice to ask the RoP through Belgium, Romania, or Bulgaria.

But when I played it and clicked on the checking button to confirm my play, no further event message appeared. It just disappeared without prompting a window to give me my Event options.

So I deduct that the Event's roll had simply failed. Am I wrong?

No, when you play an event, one nation controlled by you must be currently selected. That's why the play of the event failed.

IIRC, One of France's regions was selected.

Wow..the lightbulb finally came on re: this aspect of gameplay. The forum has been a great help in my WW1 Gold education .

Events cards sometimes disappear.For example if you choose a certain number of cards ,sometimes there are fewer than that actually.Sometimes,
some event cards can't be activated.

They disappear because the enemy has played an espionage-like event that make him stealing your card!

Oh,is that is true?I only played with AI.

Counter-espionage, probably.

No... Mata Hari, Bolo Pasha, Espionnage...

I love those cards...

Espionnage appears regularly.Mata Hari, Bolo Pasha are scarely seen.I'll try these cards.

Can both Mata-Hari and Bolo Pasha played to the Entente's benefit as well, or only the Central Powers'?

Both sides can use all espionnage events.

You alway play in multiplay mode.So you do something bad.
Next time,I will steal your card.

It seems interesting in Multiplay game.If you steal the card from the other one's .Does it mean your cards have added?
If it is true ,we 'd better choose the espionnage event during the event phase?

Yes, in fact I wrote "steal", not "discard".

In my most recent game, I drew "Diplomacy" (veeery useful for the first Diplomatic phases), but the AI immediately stole the event with Mata Hari and played it at once, so getting new precious diplomats.

I never used that card before.Only find my cards have lost,but don't know why.The three cards can hardly be found.
I think this function is not a behavior of a gentleman.

In fact Mata Hari was executed!

Is she a German spy?

A double-agent...

calvinus wrote:A double-agent...

There is no good ending for a spy,usually.

find this:
She is a famous dancer with an eastern ancestry,not a actually spy.She said that she was not a traitor.

In February 1917 Mata Hari returned to Paris and immediately arrested; charged with being a German spy. Her trial in July revealed some damning evidence that the dancer was unable to adequately explain. She was convicted and sentenced to death.

There are mainly two versions of the Mata Hari's story:
1. She is a double-agent.In February 1917 Mata Hari returned to Paris and immediately arrested; charged with being a German spy. Her trial in July revealed some damning evidence that the dancer was unable to adequately explain. She was convicted and sentenced to death.
2.Actually,she is not a spy.During the trial,she explained "I am not a traitor,never"
To cover their imbecility ,the French Military defined her as a super spy.That was a century trial,as complex as the Sympson's trial.

Which is right ?Which is wrong?
Or there are other versions ?

Are a certian of requirements needed for cards' activation?
There are some cards that can hardly be activated during the play.

Yes, the big manual contains a looong section dedicated to all events, where you can find all events details (so included conditions for play), from page 165 onwards.

NO.
Mata Hari was never a double agent, speculating that she was used as a scapegoat by the head of French counter-espionage. Georges Ladoux had been responsible for recruiting Mata Hari as a French spy and later was arrested for being a double agent himself. The facts of the case remain vague, because the official case documents regarding the execution were sealed for 100 years, although, in 1985, biographer Russell Warren Howe managed to convince the French Minister of National Defense to break open the file, about 32 years early. It was revealed that Mata Hari was innocent of her charges of espionage
