My game group is playing the Paradiso campaign and we have a discussion about scenario 202 "Hidden Witness". We are no native speakers and the book was written by spanish guys. Here is the text we got a problem with:

"In game terms, at the beginning of each game turn, all of that both players´ troops, being figures or markers, even those on Hidden Deployment, possessing the Infiltration or Impersonation Special Skill, deployed out of its Deployment Zone and who also have the Wound Attribute, must make a PH Roll, modified by their BTS (as a positiv number)."

Does it mean EVERY model with the Wound Attribute has to make the PH roll or just every modell deployed out of its Deployment Zone and who also have the Wound Attribute?

The second one medusa. Every model outside their own deployment zone with the Infiltration or Impersonation skill must take a PH test (mosified as stated with BTS)...

Sorry, outside or deployed outside? That´s the point...

Deployed outside.

Ahh, sorry medusa, my bad. As Hindenburg said, deployed outside.

Thank you guys! For us the rules are very badly written. They are often not very clear....

That's usually the case with CB - their writing team lacks a good editor, I'm afraid.

It's more the translation doesn't use someone who is fluent in Spanish (as a native) AND English (at the same time). Like most romance languages, Spanish has subtleties and nuances that will be lost when translated to the Germanic tongues (or English). This is what causes the text to not quite make sense in English.

Not only that, I'm afraid, I'm talking about serious quality issues, such as the "Narrative Mode" section of the 102 Mission. Not only are many spelling errors present, but also the sentences are lacking stylistically and grammaticaly. There's more such examples in other CB books.
