I'm trying to find a definitive answer, although perhaps one doesn't exist.
On a 3x3 play area, are obstacles deployed:
- Distance 3 from all edges
- Only distance 3 from the players' edges
I see a few previous threads arguing both ways. The setup diagram for 3x3 on the Armada wiki seems to indicate option #2. I don't have access to Vassal right now, but I seem to remember it, too, indicates option #2?
I can see the argument for option #1 from the RRG section on startup, but I also note that those rules are for a standard 3x6 game. And maybe the distance 3 mentioned in step 5 is so you don't place obstacles in deployment zones?
Thanks in advance!
