Out of curiosity since I'll be trying this for the first time tomorrow...what is the deployment zone for this Objective? I'm assuming each side deploys within 2 range rulers of their end, as that is how blockade run is set up which is similar, and the end of the game scoring says the second player gains 1 victory token for every Objective ship that ends within 2 range ruler lengths of the first players edges.
It does not say that deployment is within 2 range rulers or if it's a smaller space though, only that obstacles must be placed beyond 2 range ruler lengths though, which I assume implies it.
Just wondering if that sounds right or if I'm missing something.
