Twilight Struggle 3.0.10a; Draw Deck bug?

Technical Support & Bugs
1

A gaming colleague has noticed that when you right-click on the Draw Deck there appears a new option, Draw Specific Cards; but then, by seeing which cards are in the Deck you can deduct the cards in the hand of the opponent player.

So it is a serious bug to be fixed, specially for tournaments

2

Yes, that is a bug. Thanks.

Thanks. Just another minor bug to fix. If USA plays Cuban Missile Crisis and later in the turn they play Lone Gunman, if USSR makes a coup on battleground then USSR had to lose because of Cuban Missile event (that takes precedence on the rule of losing for lowering DEFCON to 1); but the module says that USA loses. (I haven’t check if it happens similarly with CIA card played by USSR).

I’m not 100% clear that this is correct. I suspect you might be right, but
I don’t recall any specific ruling on this. Do you have a link to anywhere
that discusses this?

This is extracted from the FAQ in the web of GMT:

[b]"Q. What happens in the above situation if the Cuban Missile Crisis is in effect? In other words, which takes precedence, the rule establishing that the player who played the card which caused DEFCON to move to DEFCON 1 (Lone Gunman) or the previously played Cuban Missile Crisis?

A. If a player is operating under Cuban Missile Crisis, the second he chooses to spend operations points on a coup, he would lose. The text on Cuban Missile Crisis takes precedence over the rule. "[/b]

Thanks, I had missed that one.

Yesterday a played a match with USA. I played “Tear Down This Wall” as an event, and later I played “Willy Brandt”, but this event was not cancelled as is had to be for havin played “Tear Down This Wall” before.

And just another special case: if Flower Power is in effect and the event Camp David has been played, when USA plays Arab-Israeli War does not lose 2 VP (boardgamegeek.com/thread/973 … ed-rulings - see Flower Power)

Sorry for being so bothering… :unamused:
