Hey all,
I played my first game of Brood War with my son yesterday, and we were blown away by its coolness. Things like Leadership Cards and Strategic Areas bring new flavors and angles to the game and we had a blast.
The one aspect of the expansion that neither of us could wrap our heads around was the Defend Order Token.
The Defend Order seems like a colossal game-changer, but its rules are at best vague. You can put the Defend Order Token down on a friendly area at any time during the planning phase, and then Mobilize units to that area, and then place a Guard Token down to gain +2 health when defending.
Does each player get a limit of 2 Guard Tokens? There are 12 Guard Tokens in the box, so I guess this is the case. Or can you use as many as you want? What if you've used both and you want to move the Guard Token later? Is this allowed?
It just seems to me that getting a boost to health, as well as a free Mobilize, is a giant gift to players. What are the limits?
If anyone can settle this, I'd be thrilled.
