* Step 2B-2: If your phantom is in your supply and you decide not to place it, you may protect a meeple.

In my opinion, protecting a meeple placed in a previous turn is just another Move the Wood option like e.g. building another tower piece, placing the fairy next to one of your meeples, placing a meeple on one of the WoF spots, etc. The principle is always the same: If you decide not to place a meeple, you can do one of those mentioned actions instead.
However, none of those mentioned actions can be chosen as a substitute for the phantom in Step 2B-2 if you still have the phantom in your supply and decide not to place it. So, to conclude, you cannot protect a meeple in your second phantom turn (Step 2B-2).

I'm understand @Meepledrone's solution. His solution is simillar to Flying machine or Magic portal. When not used in Step 2B-1 you can youse it in Step 2B-2 with Phantom.
Also understand @Vital Pluymers' solution. Whis is looking to rules more strict where Place Wood phase is not Place Phantom phase ;-)

I also feel like Vital Plumyers's understanding is more logical. Protecting a meeple is an alternative moove the wood action like any other (fairy moove, tollkeeper token...etc), and can not be repeated in step 2b-2.

Flying machine and portal may be used in step 2b-2 when placing the phantom, but they are alternate ways of placing the phantom and do not affect anything else.

Protecting the phantom when placing it may be possible, but the possibility to protect other meeples insted in step 2b-2 doesn't seems to respect the intended rule to me  ???

Indeed. For me, Phantom asction is place of phantom nothing else.

Hi guys!

I think you all are absolutely, right!

I was totally carried away by the wording (although my initial interpretation was the same as you)... protecting other meeples is intended for Step 2B-1 only.  :o

So the bottomline would be as follow:

The rules do not limit the number of meeples you may protect during the placement of a tile for 4 points each. So you could protect a wooden meeple and your phantom... This is a placement option.

Additionally, each time you do not place a meeple in Step 2B-1, you can protect a meeple already placed (in a previous turn). In the great scheme of things this means:
* Step 2B-1: If you do not place a meeple or perform any other action part of this step, you may protect a meeple.
* Step 2B-2: Even if your phantom is in your supply and you decide not to place it, you may not protect a meeple.

Both steps should be skipped if you removed a knight with a princess tile.

Thanks to all for the correction!

+1 Merit.
This is really what it has to be (even that phantom is not yet discovered in C2 world ;-)

Discussing the rules is always fun... We have to do this more often  ;D

I don't want to be the critical one here, but I don't think this wording is perfect.  :D

In my opinion, the section "* Step 2B-2: Even if your phantom is in your supply and you decide not to place it, you may not protect a meeple." should be omitted completely. We have just agreed that protecting a meeple is just a standard "Move the Wood" action as all the other ones (tower piece, fairy protection, WoF, Little Buildings, etc.). Then, why should we include a special remark for protecting a meeple, but not for the other "equal" actions?

I think it will lead to more questions for new players instead of more answers...

The only thing you can do is Step 2B-2 is placing your phantom, nothing else. That is as clear as it can be.

I agree it may be an overkill, but the wording may lead you think you can protect other meeples instead of placing your phantom.

In the Order of Play you won't include the option, but out of context I think it is okay to include this clarification.

Remember the wording included in the rules:

Quote
Each time you do not to place a meeple on the tile you just have placed, you may protect one of your meeples standing on tiles for the cost of 2 points.

If you apply it literally, you would assume this applies to Steps 2B-1 and 2B-2. Did this happen to anyone here recently in the heat of the moment?  :o

Hmm, I didn't realize that. Now I understand your first wording for Phase 2B-2. In this case maybe it has to be able to protect meeple if none meeple was changed to protected in Phase 2B-1.

Wording can be: When you didn't place your phantom from your supply, you can protect any meeple if you don't do this in Phase 2B-1 Place Wood. (something with nicer english ;-D)


What do you think?

PS: German wording in rules mentioned in quote is similar?
