Not to be a complete nerd, but this just reminds me of the old Death Star problem: the engineers probably told the defense coordinators they were placing a venting shaft directly out of the reactor, and when the defense coordinators complained to the general contractor, the general contractor blew them off citing cost overruns that would occur if they put a simple angel in the shaft line so proton torpedoes couldn’t dive straight down. Really?
Avalon Hill can’t spare one person looking fresh at all the game components before they go out to make sure they, like, add up? Really?
