I just purchased the Omens in Ice and started playing this weekend and just one question. I didn't read anything in the rules about it, so I would assume that you start with 0 supplies when you start playing. (Of course if it states in in the rules, I overlooked it!)
Also, has anyone run into the issue of being at Stage I and not getting any supplies due to not drawing the appropriate cards with the supplies award. I drew the Ithaqua as the Ancient One, so I've got snow storms piling up and I am about to go to day 3 and so far I haven't picked up any supplies. I've been fortunate to pick the awards to stop the clocking advancing, so that kind of saves my bacon. I am going to stick with it and see how my luck holds out.
