Been playing the Assault on Osgiliath scenario, and watched a video of a guy playing it. In the video, he chooses West Gate for his initial location. West Gate contains the text:
"Action: If there is no active location, search the encounter deck and discard pile for an Osgiliath location, reveal it and add it to the staging area. Then, make West Gate the active location. Shuffle the encounter deck."
So the guy says "That's an action, I don't have to do that". So he doesn't, and ends up getting a quick win as he quickly gets West Gate explored.
Is that true? He doesn't have to add another Osgiliath location? Or is this a mistake? It seems to me, given the circumstances of this scenario, if you didn't HAVE to get out another Osgiliath location, why would you ever do it? I'm guessing the guy is mistaken, and that the action is triggered by there being no active location, and you have to search the deck for another Osgiliath location.
Am I right or is he?
Here's the link to the video, by the way. Looks like he could use more views
