Topic: Differences between 2nd Edition and this version here?!
Posted: 2020-Dec-09 18:42
First of all, thank you for this site and all the work you all do.
I apologize if this issue has been addressed, but I wasn't able to find it anywhere. I think I found another instance where the rules on this site don't match up with the rules of the game.
I recently became aware that it's possible, on this site, to use the messenger raven to place an order down in an area that did not previously receive an order token.
In the FAQ section of the 1st edition rule book, on the last page, this question is addressed.
"Q: Can I, when using the Messenger Raven, place the replacement order token in a friendly area that did not previously receive an order?
A: No, the replaced order must be placed in the same area as the one removed"
It's not an issue in the 2nd Ed because you are compelled to place all possible orders, so any order-less territories wouldn't have an unused order left to place.
I'm honestly fine either way, its just that I've always been operating under the real rule, and I'm sure it has hurt me at times. If this feature will stay the way it is, it would be helpful to clarify it in the "Differences between the 2nd Ed and this game here" or elsewhere.
Thanks!
