Trying to get my head around the 'management phase' in RITR. Going to paraphrase a bit:
1. I attack a planet and win - as a result I can utilize one of the upgrade slots available from that planet or one I already own. e.g I have access to 30 points of fighters. I purchase my 30 points of fighters which occurs in point 3 of the management phase (pg 17) - 'Gain Rewards'.
2. I follow the steps in the management phase to and get to Refit and Expand Fleets (point 5) which takes me to page 18 - the first paragraph says I can add or remove forces and equip upgrades and the fleet cannot exceed 250 points. Under the heading Add or Remove Forces the rules are explained.
I purchase my 30 points of fighters at point 3 of the management phase Pg 17 but don't add them to my fleet until the add or remove forces section of Pg 18. At which time I can elect to remove upgrades and purchase other upgrades..
Now for the question... are the two steps Gain Rewards and Add Remove Forces mutually exclusive? Is there a hidden intent (or obvious intent which I am missing) which allows points gained from Gain Rewards to be used in conjunction with points gained from 'selling' upgrades in the Add or Remove Forces? (assuming all other restrictions are adhere to and points not exceeded.)
Thanks
