Hello boys, I have some question to ask you. I've got the Italian version of the game, so excuse me if I translate into English on my own (and maybe not too correctly) the text of the cards, in order to be better understood.

• when a player cannot execute an order (because, for example, he lost a base or a unit; so he doesn't choose at all to not execute the order, better say he's forced to do nothing instead), during the Execution Phase, can he however “choose” to not execute it and draw an Event Card (as said on p. 14) instead of simply aborting the action and lose the token for this turn (without drawing an Event Card, of course)?
• the Stage II Event Card “Rinforzi” (Italian; English: “Reinforcements”) says «Piazza immediatamente le seguenti unità in un'area alleata o vuota» (Italian; English: «Put now the following units in an allied or empty area». Are the areas containg enemy bases (but not enemy units) considered empty, when you play this Event Card?

Yes, you can choose not to execute an order and draw an Event card instead at will.

Areas containing enemy base NOT friendly nor empty. You can not place units there.

Thank you very much!
