Blips and Terrain
Published on 18 August 2011 - 05:14:15

Hello there,

 

I recently bought a copy of DA and am really enjoying playing it, but I do have a couple of questions that I've been unable to find the answers to in this forum.

Any advice would be greatly appriciated. So here goes,

 

Q1. Before Travelling I have been assuming that the rule, "Travelling automatically occurs whenever there are 0 cards in any blip pile at the end of any phase." is refering to there being 0 cards in either blip pile (left or right), rather than 0 cards in both blip piles. Is this right or wrong of me? Im still not sure.

Q2. When I Place Terrain Cards do I place them In Front of the marine, or on the side that the terrain icon occurs on the Location Card? I was playing the former but got suspicious that it was wrong. When I looked in the rule book again I couldn't find any reference to the former, but nor could I find a specific rule instructing me to do the latter.

 

Again thanks for any wisdom you are able to impart on me.

#1: Either one is empty triggers travel.

#2: On the side the number on the Location Card tells you to. I believe in all cases you have 2 Terrain on the left, 2 Terrain on the right (plus an additional from Location's text, like Wrath of Baal Chapel has you place Artifact). But Marine facing has no bearing on placing Terrain.

A dirty mind is its own reward.
