Flames of War
 From Lead, Scott Simoneau
"It's going to be an exciting last month leading up to NOVA! Lots of big news on the FoW tournament scene, and here's how it will effect NOVA:
At the NOVA Open, you won't be ambushing any obstacles. Just . . . well, "No!" If you still decide you want to place a Pioneer Supply Vehicle in ambush, you are welcome to place the obstacles before the game begins as detailed in the rulebook p. 262.
