Latest 10/1 - From a quick play this evening, it looks like all the bugs with turn zero have been fixed, and so I am happy to recommend this expansion to Twilight Struggle.

It offers numerous 'what if' scenarios which are both thought provoking and enable the early game which can so often form a predictable pattern to be a lot more varied.

It does however create the possibilities of incredibly lop-sided scenarios, so I wouldn't recommend it for tournament or competitive play.


Bugs fixed so far:

'One Small Step...' new card design has 3 Ops written on it (still plays as 2 though)

'First Lightning' card reduces DEFCON when played on Space Race, and playing the card for the Ops as the US does not remove the card despite it being asterisked. Also AI does not recognise this as a DEFCON suicide card.

Turn Zero events that supposedly cancel the effects of 'Blockade' and 'Socialist Governments' on T1& T2 don't work - both of these events have occurred after supposedly being disabled by VE Day and 1945 election.

'Unable to switch games while in the crisis phase of Turn Zero as the crisis overlay vanishes when you return to the game.

Unaligned movement card doesn't work properly.

Petrov card says 2 ops on card graphic, but is 3ops ingame.

Issues with 'Allied Berlin' scoring card (rules & graphics)

In the new space race, 'eagle/bear is landed' lets you place influence in enemy controlled countries at cost of 1op once per turn when tracker says once per action round.

Thanks to DodgerWalker / Edgeofnothing / bblum / soroltkileny on reddit for spotting the issues.
