Garrison's When Closing Effect

[kysmartman]

Okay, this has been bugging me the whole time, and I haven't really seen it addressed.

The Garrison states "Take all weapons and armor from the remaining cards and put them under the location" This is a totally different phrase from the other locations that add cards to the location when closed.

1. Is that phrasing correct?

2. Am I correct in interpreting that to mean that those cards are out of the scenario entirely?

3. Was this leftover phrasing before you decided to do the whole "you shouldn't reshuffle the stacks before drawing for the beneficial barriers (chests and that spell one) or locations"? Otherwise, it really serves no purpose.

Sorry, as I said, this has been bugging me, and I lost 2 magical things because of it today that I had time to get if I had had the chance.

I've always played that it means that those weapons and armor become the entirety of the location deck for the Garrison (but the location is closed).

I'd never really thought that they could be effectively buried for the duration of the scenario...

Will be interesting to see an official response on this one!

h4ppy's interpretation is correct. We'll look at the wording.

[kysmartman]

Yeah thanks Mike, it is a wildly different verbiage than what the other locations that get cards back after closing have. I'll play the Garrison like H4ppy said from now on. Stupid elusive Fire Shield will be mine soon, I hope.
