How do I meet these objectives?

"I now spend 4 trade goods, 3 resources, and 3 influence"

"I now spend 3 command counters from my command and/or strategy allocation areas"

Do I meet them by coincidence spending the resources/counters etc on other things,

OR do I get them by "buying them" by removing the said amount of counters/resources from my stores?

The reason i ask is that i can find no example of it being possible to spend 3 command counters at one time. does it mean trough the entire turn or in onne isolated action?

Som of the other objectives I can understand like destroying spacedocs and the like. These however.

Tnx on beforehand for the feedback guys

You have to spend them when you claim the objective. Not if you spent them during the last round.

Meaning, I will turn in 4 TGs, exhaust Hope's End, and exhaust Mallice.

Hopefully this makes sense.

For all objectives that ask you to spend things, you spend the appropriate resources during the Status Phase at the end of the turn, specifically during the part where you claim objectives.

To claim the first objective, you would need to have 4 TGs, 3 resources and 3 influence available in that step of the Status Phase and spend them at that time. Note that you cannot spend both resources and influence off the same planet, so you must have two or more planets that can provide at least this much of each. To claim the seocnd you must have 3 CCs between your Command and Strat pools which you then remove and return to reinforcements during this step of the Status Phase. Any such currencies that you spent on other things during the Action Phase do not count for these objectives. The same is true of all other "I now spend X" objectives.

Just as a note, too, because this gets asked a bit: You can spend a Trade Good any time you would spend a Resource or Influence. So for the objective that says "Spend 10 resources", you could spend 5 TGs and 5 Resources, 2 TGs and 8 resources, or even 10 TGs. For the "4 Trade Goods, 3 Resources, and 3 Influence" one, you could spend 6 TGs, 2 resources, 2 influence; 7 TGs, 0 resources, 3 influence, or even 10 TGs outright.
