Conveniently you are required to deploy an HVT outside of your deployment zone that you'll need to be measuring for...
Yeah, I know that trick. But Biotechvore is the current round in our ITS league and we have several newbies who struggle alot with this mission and I want to make it a bit easier for them.
If you're running your own league for newbies, make a rule that the zone is marked out. Problem solved.
that is what i was thinking, you have to deploy over 16" which is the same as the zone. and is how I was doing in in previous seasons. But looking at ITS 10 again as i'll play it soon i realize it is 4" further than your DZ, and with the DZ being reduced to 8" you only measure out to 12" for deploying the HVT. Unless you are allowed to measure the HVT placement so that he is exactly 16" from your board edge; although i think that would fall under the same as measuring that your warband is exactly 4" away from a specific building corner.
