Hello

I've played the game twice with my wife and I have a couple of questions about it:

1.If any event is triggered which says "put support cubes on state X,Y,Z" and any of those states is carried by the opponent or there is a opponent candidat pawn on it, do I have to do support checks for those states? It's not a campaining action so I assume that no.
2. Can both Nixon and Kennedy pawns be at the same place at the same time?
3. If the opponent has any cubes on a state and I move my pawn there does he have to do support checks to put more of his cubes on that state?
4. Can I move my pawn as many time as I want during my turn for free, provided I'll move him to the same region state?
5. If I have media support cubes in a region I don't do any support checks - on states carried by the opponent or/and with his candidat pawn there - right?
6. When I do media support action can I put my cubes on any ONE region or more?

Thanks in advance for help.

1. - If it's an event you do not need to do support checks, regardless of how many other cubes are on.

2 - yes, and since each pawn is in the same state, each candidate would need to support check for CP in that state.

3 - Your opponent would need to do support checks on any state where your pawn is, so in this example - yes he or she would SC to put more cubes down. Remember though, you can't just put your pawn in a state. I'm pretty sure your pawn ends up in the last state you spent CP in.

4 - Same region - yes. If you move to another region, that burns a CP (unless you have a card that allows you to move around regions for free)

5 - I'm not sure about whether or not you'd SC with the opposing pawn in a state. I think that rules still applies even with media support. Not sure though.

6 - I believe you can, again not 100% sure.

1. correct you don't have to do support checks if the text reads add that much state support. If the card says you may spend CP as a campaign action (Like whistlestop) then you would have to make a support check.

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes, I don't know if this is in the rules but both gametable and wargameroom you must leave your pawn in the last state you spent influence. I think the logic is you can move it as much as you want for free during your turn but once you spent your last cp your turn is over and the pawn can't move.

5. Yes

6. You can split it up any way you want. East is generally the best place with the world series card and the two biggest states.

4. You can only move during a campaign to where you are putting cubes (so wherever you want wouldn't be accurate although not sure why you would want to move through a state without doing anything.)

5. If you have media support you don't need to do checks (for pawns or control) 95% sure without looking it up.

6. Not sure about.
