Quote:
If someone tries to carry out a Covert Op on a Colony with Protection and has more infiltration points that the Colony has Protection points, the Covert Op will succeed. If the Protection points are greater than the enemy's infiltration points, the Colony's Protection points are reduced by the number of the enemy's infiltration points.
For example:
* Colony A has had a spy at Colony B for 7 days now (Image:Tick Symbol.jpg168 ticks) and therefore has 168 infiltration points.
* Colony B has regularly topped up his/her protection and has a total of 248 spy protection points.
* Colony A tries to conduct a covert op (any would do).
* Results:
o Covert Ops fails and Colony A's spy is lost.
o Colony B spy protection falls to 80.
o Colony B receives a message telling him that Colony A has tried to conduct a covert op.
