"You
Only Live Twice II" briefing: Q lab security has been breached! In the
chill of pre-dawn London, a top secret file was stolen from Q Branch despite
the tight security of M.I.6 headquarters. The files, containing chemical
warfare secrets from Nazi Germany, were passed on before the thief was
arrested. The culprit --- one of the most trusted and loyal Q Branch technicians!
Why has he turned against Queen and country? Who wields such power that
he can force a loyal Briton to turn traitor? What havoc does he threaten
to wreak with the stolen information?
Your
mission: You must find and plug the security breach, and retrieve the missing
file. Your search takes you from the cold death of a wintry London to the
merciless desolation of the Australian Outback. Along this treacherous
route you must survive remote controlled death, perilous beauties, and
the killing ferocity of nature. Can you come from Back of Beyond?
Can
be played alone or as a sequel to "You
Only Live Twice".

Sheets & a Stand Up Screen illustrating Major Villain's fortress.

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.
