Template talk:PBeM Stage2 14VP Objectives Table 411

From TI3Wiki.org

Fair enough, I missed this when I rolled my own; but this does not provide for the extra Stage II Objective used with the SE Variant Strategy Cards.

Arguably, of course, since we know the last objective is always Imperium Rex (if it hasn't come up already) we don't need a slot in the table for it. I disagree, however, because six slots representing seven cards is bound to lead to player confusion. Also, if Delayed Imperium Rex is in use, there is a point in the game where the Imperium Rex card is face up but the game is still a going concern, and the Objectives table should reflect that.

Can we do something clever with a NumObjectives argument to the template which renders this irrelevant? Damerell 00:15, 25 September 2008 (MDT)

• Probably, mind you I don't have much time to do anything fancy. I'm confused on the 7 cards thing, there are 6 stage II obj, incl. Imperium Rex (5+1). Jgbaxter 11:03, 26 September 2008 (MDT)

Shattered Empire rulebook, page 9, left column, third para from bottom, in "Option 2: The Variant Strategy Cards": "When building the Objective deck (step 7 of setup), add one extra Stage II Objective to the Stage II deck." A lot of people miss that. That is why my original template had the sixth and seventh boxes marked, by default, with the last possible positions for Imperium Rex with and without the SE Strategy Cards.
