I’m thinking Sicily might also have an AB, and have the ability to scramble. If not maybe Sardinia. I can’t see them giving UK AB (Malta) and not Italy.
As far as the rule book set up:
I don’t think there will be complete set-up info for global, I think it will be more in a form of an amendment/errata in the global booklet for the changes to the set-up from the two games you will own. Hopefully it will also include the Pac set-up changes (Pac errata) that came out shortly after the game was released. You know the AB,NB on Phil, NZ loosing its IC, and the down sizing of the Aus IC. This should be included for the people that bought Pac, but don’t frequent the AA sites and have no idea of these important changes. Actually there should be a reference in the new game box telling people who bought Pac to check out the Pac faq/errata, and where to find it. Maybe just a simple leaflet pointing it out.
