highorph 0 Posted July 2, 2016 Hi all, After looking for the response in the FAQ's and using the search tool without any success, I come up with a minor question. I just spotted some planets with a number on the left of their names, going from 1 to 3 and I didn't find anything about them in the rules. What is the purpose for those? Any clue? Thanks!

Devon Greatwolf 53 Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) These numbers tell you where on the build queue to place units constructed from the planets resources. Found in Learn to Play book Pg 10 Advance Time Marker Bullet = II "Build Icon: Each player builds one unit matching each resource icon in his loyal and subjugated systems (explained later). For subjugated systems, he uses only the left-most resource icon. He takes these units from the supply and places them on his build queue (see below) in the space matching the number to the left of the resource icon." Also in Rules Reference Pg 3 Bottom Left Column, BUILD UNITS "To build units, players simultaneously builds units. Each player places one unit on his build queue for each resource icon in his loyal and subjugated systems. The number next to the icon indicates the space on which the units are placed. For subjugated systems, use only the first (left-most) icon." Edited for spelling grammar and better citation of rules.

Frimmel 2,597 Posted July 5, 2016 There are also a few of the missions that tell you to put units on the build que using a system's icons and that number. 1 Devon Greatwolf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tract 11 Posted July 5, 2016 Not to be a jerk, but what did you think they were for? And how have you been building units till now? I'm genuinely curious in what other ways that could have been interpreted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm genuinely curious in what other ways that could have been interpreted. Rebellion is littered with rules and sub-rules. It is easy to miss or misunderstand a rule here and there during your first few plays. A good community like this one helps all of us to come to gain further enjoyment out of this game. 1 Jobu reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm genuinely curious in what other ways that could have been interpreted. If you're new to this sort of game this is a thing that is easily misunderstood. Having played wargames of various stripes before one of the first things I want to know is how to get reinforcements and additional units. That said. I understand your curiosity as it is clearly pointed out in the rules. 1 Stone37 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
