Hacan ally abilities

[Hacan ally abilities]

I think page 22 does not contradict the text on the card, giving instead just a specification on the Hacan abitility itself.

[Hacan ally abilities]

 

Hi everybody,

 

I'm writing you because during my very first Rex game, I was involved in a very unpleasant discussion about a rule.

 

First of all, before that game I've neither played Rex nor read the rulebook. I was instructed on the rules by an italian mate whose english was very poor (mine too probably but don't judge me please)

Therefore, during the game there were many occasions where players understood a thing, when the specific rule of the case stated a (often completely) different one. Hence, after the game, I took a picture of the Hacan Ally Card and download the pdf rulebook, but still my friend keeps telling that I am wrong.

 

Now my issue.

I was playing allied with Hacan. For who does not remember the abilities their allies gain, I will report here: ``During your Deployment step, you may choose 1 of the following: (1) Deploy units at half cost. (2) Move units from 1 space to another for 1 influence per unit''. 

 

Now, that time I deployed units paying the full cost (thus, in that specific occasion I didn't use Hacan ally ability (1) as I've been doing all game) and then I wanted to move them by using Hacan ally ability (2). My friend told me that I couldn't do that, since either I deploy units (no matter wether by using (1), or not), or I use (2).

 

Hope to find some reply

 

Cheers boyz
