A more concise 2-tile summary:

1) The German Castles are 2 tiles; all rules apply as if they were 2 distinct tiles, placed at the same time.
2) Any effect which may take place on either of the 2-tiles can affect any followers located on the Castle situated in the middle of both tiles.  (eg: The Dragon entering one half of the German Castle may eat any followers in the German Castle).

WHAT?! A contradiction in the extended rules of Carcassonne? I never thought I'd see the day...

This is not the first time HiG has decided to change its mind on rulings of expansion interaction.  Recall the Dragon was updated twice in 24hrs when a rule clarification was published earlier this year:  http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=1677.0

So

The Barn in 1) has 4 tiles so the barn can be placed
The Barn in 2) has 3 tiles and cannot be placed
The Barn in 3) has 5 tiles and SHOULD NOT be placed
The Barn in 4) has 4 tiles and SHOULD be placed

I always look forward to photos of people's purchases ;)

I'm sure someone from CarcC could take a copy of Carcassonne 2.0 off your hands  O0

To be honest, I can read that wikipedia page all day and I still wont understand it.  But it looks like the Welcome Tournament has shuffled things up quite a bit  :(y)

It's safe to say you've all played enough games online to get some real experience at it now.  I hope you've all managed to enjoy at least one game and maybe learn a new trick or two.

Thanks for the table Jéré!

By logical extension this completed cloister is now worth 16 points.

In the software trade we have a mantra that every time you fix a bug you introduce 2 new ones.  This is a great example of this:  German Castles had a small bug and by fixing it we have 15 new issues.

The fourth picture is laughable - It's ok to place a barn on 5 tiles; but it is not OK to place it on 4 tiles.

This looks very different to the clarification earlier where it was ok to place a barn on 4 tiles if one of them is a halfling; but i take it it is not ok to place if there are 5 tiles are 2 halflings.  So I can't play my halfling into the space after if the barn is there already.

What a mess and not a problem if the GC was 2 tiles.

...Maybe it would help...  But it's an example of an existing mechanic where something of length 2 is not length 1.

I quite like the new design.  It's clear that the stock management and payment methods have improved a great deal and hopefully this will encourage others to use HiG's services.  The back catalog have increase a lot too, hard to find games are available like Fjords!

I found navigation a little hard.  I have a very small 15'' laptop the shop-item are very large on the screen, so I can only see 3 at a time.
There was an option to view more items per page, but it did not seem to remember my setting, it would revert to 12, this would be nice.
It is nice to see English as an option on the site; (although I used to enjoy kludging through wondering what I was clicking :) )
After I added items to the German cart, i switched to English and all my items were lost.  So I completed my order in German.

Overall I think I'd give it a 4 thumbs out of 5, hopefully there will be time for this minor things to be adjusted. 

Can't wait for the excuse to buy more  :))

If I fire a catapult token across the width of a GC tile; can I then move it an extra tile in that direction, because the extra width is considered 'free' space in relation to the other tiles?

Two half tiles can fit in the space of a single square.  Two tiles cannot fit in the space of a single square.

Considering a geometric series, If I keep halving the size of the tiles, they'll can still fit in the space of a single tile.  If I keep doubling the size of the tiles, I'll need an infinite amount of space to fit all the tiles in.

Also the Cloister Point scoring makes no sense; as I quoted before the Cloister rule is: "A monastery is complete when it is surrounded by tiles" - It does not state how many tiles surround it, only that the tile is surrounded.

Final Group A,B,C Tables:

Group A:

Group B:

Group C:


The Position Table after Round 2:


I have added together the group and PPD scores from Round 1 and Round 2 and ranked by Group Point and then PPD.

Please review and let me know quickly if there are any mistakes.

The Third and Final Rounds are:

Group Yellow: Merlin_89 , Rich The Fish, Halfling
Group Salmon: Curt 194, Joansinmiedo, franks
Group Green: Safari, Ailurus, toastytoast
Group Blue: Piklach, LOMDR, Lukey-Dukey.

As I said Before Round 3 is a single three player game consisting of:

The Phantom
Traders & Builders
The Tower
Corn Circles II

It is only required that Group Yellow attend their games.  There are a small pool of prizes for everyone who manages to play their last game though  :D  It would be wonderful if those people based in the UK can finish their games before 31st October, so I can give prizes at the UK Meetup Event, if they are attending.

I think ToastyToast must complete his game before Saturday - good luck.

I now declare Round 3 started.

So the Dragon can eat the meeple in the castle: i) if it enters either tile; ii) or if it crosses the tile.
