So I played my first game of runewars last night and hit a snag with the setup portion, at least the part where I was placing all the neutral units. There were 3 hexes (3C, 2A, & 6D) that wanted 2 giants each... There were only 4 giants in the box though. Am I missing pieces? Reading the hexes wrong? Setting up wrong? We ended up taking all the neutral units off, and then placing them when you invaded a hex. But then how do you track which hexs are empty and which ones still have hostile neutrals in them?

There was a misprint, read the faq. Easy way to remember is that only the number 2 hex should have 2 giants in it, 3 and 6 should have only one.

An easier way to remember it is that only the hex with 3 ore has 2 giants in it.

thanks guys I guess that's a downside to buying a brand new game.

I dont' think it would make any difference buying a later edition; it's rare the FFG fixes printing errors like that in later printings, from my experience. Fortunately in this case, it's a very minor (and easy to self-correct) error.
