Hello Owen,
I've checked the two maps. I've compared the map which is displayed in the English puzzle book (I assume this map is identical with the map of your vinyl board (sold in the USA); please, check this, Owen) with the map of the box edition, the so-called "standard" board.
Besides the differences which are described here I found the following additional differences:
- the sea line between space 735 and 715 (displayed on the vinyl board) don't exit on the standard board,
- there is a sea line between space 505 and 503 on the standard board, on the vinyl board not!
- on the standard board there are yellow marks on space 241 (towards the sea space 806) and on space 271 (towards the sea space 803) which indicate that catapult shots are bidirectionally possible at this point. On the map in the English puzzle book the yellow marks are absent here. Can you confirm, Owen, that the marks are also absent on your vinyl board?
Although we are playing on different boards it's necessary to define the "standard". So I suggest to ignore the sea line between 735 and 715 on the vinyl board. In this case it's obvious that you restart your (whole) turn.
I try to get a vinyl board made that is displaying the "standard" map. I would like to get such a vinyl board which might be interesting for other gamers, too.
Kind regards
Klaus
