"A
View To A Kill" briefing: M.I.6 operative 004 is missing. His assignment
was to infiltrate deep into the Soviet Union in order to retrieve a stolen
microchip that is vital to England's national defense. 004 never arrived
at his rendezvous point, and now someone must be sent into the frozen Siberian
wastelands to find him. But the stolen microchip is just the top of the
iceberg --- there is a conspiracy afoot that could disrupt the world's
economy. Is there enough time left to track down the ruthless mastermind
and stop his earth-shattering plot?
Your
mission: The killing cold of Siberia, and the ever-present KGB, imperil
your search for 004 and the missing microchip. If you survive, you will
be assigned to learn how the microchip fell into Soviet hands. A seemingly
routine investigation takes on a grimmer aspect as you discover clues that
point to a madman's lust for power. From atop the Eiffel Tower to the Major
Villain's airborne headquarters, you will discover the meaning of what
it is to go from A View to a Kill!

NOTE:
Ownership of the Basic Game is required to play modules & supplements.
Additional
info:
The
007, James Bond items from Victory Games were divided into three areas:
Action
Episodes: There are four of these that I can find --- "Goldfinger",
"Live & Let Die",
"Man With The Golden Gun" and "You
Only Live Twice". These involved gameboards or mapboards, Counters,
Cards and interaction by a player involving some episode, usually from
the movie.
Adventure
Modules: These are --- The "007
Basic Set", "A View To A Kill", "Dr.
No", "For Your
Eyes Only", "Goldfinger",
"Goldfinger II - Man With
The Midas Touch", "Live
And Let Die", "Man
With The Golden Gun", "Octopussy",
"You Only Live
Twice" and "You
Only Live Twice II - Back Of Beyond". These were more traditional role-playing
games, with characters built up, dice rolling and imagination used.
Supplements:
These are --- "For
Your Information", "Gamesmaster
Pack", "Q Manual", "Thrilling
Locations" and "Villains".
These were added enhancements for the Adventure Modules.
The
only oddities in the above were the "Bond
Assault Game", which had a mix of Episode & Adventure game and
could be played either way, and "On
Her Majesty's Secret Service", which used Action & NPC cards.
An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
