Home and no mans land objectives

[Galron]

Pretty easy, does your opponents home objective count as a no mans land objective or just the 3/4 in the middle?

No - No Man's Land is described in the card rules as the territory that is not within either player's deployment zone.  Note, players often use language imprecisely, so you may see the term used in a way that would include all objectives outside of one's own deployment, but that isn't actually correct.

Thats the reason I was was asking, under the theory if it wasnt in my deployment zone then it must be no mans land. It hasnt been played that way nor have I played it that way but there have been a few cards I have pulled that in passing seemed like it could have worked like that.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I understand the reasoning, but it is semantically inconsistent with the actual meaning of the phrase, that being the space between two combatant's lines.  That said, good to check if you are unsure.

 

From my read of the cards, they seem to use the term "outside your deployment zone" for stuff that is in no man's land + the stuff in the opponent's territory.  This edition (the term "no man's land" aside, where templating wise they should have said "outside of either player's deployment zones") seems pretty good at using consistent terms and phrasing for things.

Just chipping in to add that Central objectives only refers to the one or two objectives right in the middle of the table, and not to all of the objectives across the centre-line (give or take) of the board.

 

We got that wrong in our first game.
