When Infiltrating via the NVA in a space-specifically when replacing a VC guerrilla with a NVA guerrilla-does the new NVA guerrilla retain the "state" of the replaced VC guerrilla? That is, when replacing an "active" VC guerrilla-will the new NVA guerrilla have to be "active" as well?
Thanks!

One rule is not clear for me for Infiltrate :
Quote: If NVA Base(s), place NVA Troops up to the Trail value (6.7) plus the number of NVA Bases there, then replace any NVA Guerrillas
desired 1 for 1 with added NVA Troops.
In the bold part of the sentence above, are the "added NVA Troops" part of the NVA Troops just placed there or are they additionnal Troops ?
That's really confusing even if I think that the first assumption is the correct one.
Why not having written something like : If NVA Base(s), place NVA Troops up to the Trail value (6.7) plus the number of NVA Bases there. If desired, these Troops may replace any NVA Guerrillas 1 for 1 ?

I too also often wondered what the word "added" does here. The rule is that you may replace any guerrillas with troops regardless of how many troops you just placed. Perhaps "added" was meant to remove the problem you had with interpreting this rule. Or perhaps it means the added troops must come from the available box and not from the map.

The "then" separates the two actions. So first you'll add Troops equal to Trail value + Bases. After that, then you can remove any number of Guerrillas and place an equal number of Troops in their place.

Yes, that's the rule for sure. But what's the word "added" there for?

The way I see it is that it is there to differentiate that those troops used to replace Guerillas are separate from the troops placed from the first part of the card.

Perhaps the word "additional" might have then been a better choice here.

Completely agree, but it still works for me as is.

The player is clearer here. It simply says replace guerrillas with troops.

That's the point : using "additional" instead of "added" would be totally clear.
So, to conclude, NVA first places new Troops according to the Trail value and Bases there then replaces any Guerrillas with additional Troops.
It seems more clear on the Faction Help Sheet that sums up all Operations.
Anyway, thanks to all of you for your answers.

Correct. "Added" here just means "additional". "Yet more" might also have worked.

Well. I had been totally lost in space if this one has been used instead !

"additional" would be far and away the clearest, to me.
Then "yet more".
"added" is the strangest in this context.
