EVENT CARD --DESPERATE MEASURES--

By octobus, in StarCraft

How to work this card???

"place in your play area. after revealing a special order during the action phase, you may discard this card to execute it and place it back in your pile of unused order tokens(instead of in your special order pool).

The reference to strategic areas under “Execute Special
Order” on page 5 should be ignored.

thanks

"Desperate measures" is like a free R&D module for one round. Instead placing executed Special Order in the Special Order Pool, you may discard this card.

The quote from FAQ regarding Strategic Areas isn't important here. It just means that Strategic Areas don't increase the limit of orders in Special Order Pool unlike R&D modules.
