What's the motivation for the objectives being placed after deployment? This stuck out to me as it's usually done before picking sides so as to avoid players trying to gain an advantage from their placement choices.
You know, that is a good question, I didn't really consider that. It wasn't really a purposeful choice. Though after considering it I don't mind it, if both players turn three terrain pieces into objectives, it won't matter much because both will place to gain advantage.
