THE
REINFORCEMENT
PHASE
Iti
n the final Phase of each Faction’s
Turn, it receives one Asset as a
reinforcement, so long as there are
Assets available. All the Nobles, Titles,
Offices, Bishops, Ships, etc which were
not distributed at the beginning of the
game are available, as are all Nobles
killed during the game, and any other
Assets removed during play. Titles and
Offices, as we have seen, are placed in
Chancery when they are removed,
and return to play through Parliament.
A message appears to tell you which
Asset has become available. Nobles
who join a Faction are automatically
added to the Faction’s Secret
Support. Other Assets are placed in
the Faction Build box.
Secret Support
Secret Support can be thought of as
those supporters of your Faction who
have not yet come into the open, declar-
ing their allegiance. Computer Factions
determine when to bring their support-
ers into play automatically. You must
activate your secret reinforcements as
you see fit.
This imposing castle is
one of the seats of the
Earls of Warwick. the
Select the Secret Support icon:
Nevilles.
The list of your secret supporters
appears. Select a Noble by clicking on
his name, and select Proceed to bring
him into a home castle. Nobles start in
their home castle unless it has been
captured by another Faction, in which
case the Noble starts instead in the
nearest Friendly Castle, Town or City.
As usual, you can learn more about
the Noble by positioning the mouse
pointer over his icon. Click the Left
Mouse Button. You can now read the
Chronicle information about him.
