Spying mission Q [LSJ]

[John P.]

I hate to cover old ground, but There's a dispute over multiple spying missions. A google search
turned up some helpful rulings, but there was some grey areas.

Can I get a Yay or nay on the following:

1. On a single bleed action can a minion play more than one spying mission at superior.
(if Agrapina drops three of them for future bleed bonus of +6 on one action)
Belief: No (action modifier rule)

2. One sucessive bleed actions Agripina can continue to play 1 Spying mission each time, each time all existing spying missions
remain in play, and the new spying mission adds on.
Belief: Yes

3. After accumulating two or more Spying missions, on a successful bleed all spying missions must be burnt at once for a single
large bleed (which cannot be Archoned, deflected, or modified once the spying missions have been burned)
Belief: Yes

Thanks,
-JTP

Absolutely not. Because it is forbidden by the rule to play the same action
modifier twice in a single action ;)

You are right. The spying missions can stack.

You are right. The first bleed which is successful compels you to burn the
spying mission(s) you have on the acting minion.

[and the rest of that thread]

Spying Mission stops the bleed being successful, so previous Spying
Missions don't burn at that point.
