eBob;
I enjoyed reading the v.8 rules. Just a couple of questions:
1. Perhaps I missed it, but I could nto find a definitive comment as to when and how SAVED cards are brought in to play. The only statement I saw was this:
"At anytime the POW may discard a saved card in favour of the
last card flipped."
Which seems to indicate that a SAVED card may be replaced with a different Action Deck card if the player chooses. Does using a SAVED card count as an Action? (confusing bec. you are not "flipping" it).
2. Under Miniatures (which is under "Setting Up", however the font is the same which makes it unclear as to whether Minatures is a heading or a subheading) it says:
"Position 3 Sentry miniatures on any of the Sentry positions outside the perimeter fence."
However under Deployment it states:
"At the start of each day the German player rolls for the no. of Sentries on duty."
If the former is for INITIAL set up, it may be helpful to clarify that. If the latter is in effect for the entire game, the former should be deleted.
I had similar confusion when reading the section on Deployment - Stooges and New Arrivals. That Initial Set Up section could help with this confusion.
3. I think the language is backwards in this description under "Spot Search":
"If the search was entirely unsuccessful (all cards chosen were ‘Nothing Found’) then all but one Ferret remains at the location (positioned on the black Luftwaffe position) while the other Ferrets return to the Barrack Block in humiliation."
Should it perhaps read:
"If the search was entirely unsuccessful (all cards chosen were "Nothing Found"), then one Ferret will remain at the location (positioned on the black Luftwaffe spot), while all other Ferrets who participated in the search return to the Barrack Block in humiliation."
I am intrigued by the system and look forward to having the time to assemble the board, cut out the cards, and have a go at it.
Regards,
Chris J.
