“Special Orders” card not working?

[scoopshaagendazs]

Hello Pandemic players,

Every time we have the “Special Orders” card, it does not work. We select the card, then the player to control, but we never get to control that player. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes. It's also not working for me.

It works for me. Here is an example, step by step. E.g. you want to move the medic from Tokyo to Seoul and you are the researcher.
1.) Make sure you (=the researcher) have actions left.
2.) Activate the special orders card.
3.) Select "Move" from the menu,
4.) Select the character you want to move (in our example: the medic)
5.) Move the medic from Tokyo to Soul.

Now you will notice, that the researcher has one action less.

Hope this helps.

This has not worked for me. I have followed these exact steps and using your example, the game tries to move the researcher to Seoul.

Thanks warfair, that works for me. Version is #2.2.1-10004009, the rest of you might like upgrade and recheck. Post your version number if it still doesn't work for you.

I got it working that way, thanks warfair.

It ABSOLUTELY worked! Thanks! I didn't even think to click "Move" again; I just clicked on the chosen character. My 'Pandemic' pals and I thank you!
