A SPECIAL NOTE:
THE RULES FOR CA ACTION ARE CORRECT (AS I HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED) AS POSTED IN THE GAME RULES DOCUMENT. HOWEVER, THE RULES FOR CLOSURE AND COLOR CHANGES FOR FIELDS OUTSIDE THE CA AREA ARE NOT AS CLEAR. AS THIS S3 HAS A HYBRID SETUP, THE FIELDS NOT PART OF THE CA ACTION WILL FOLLOW THE TRADITIONAL S3 GUIDELINES FOR CLOSURE. ONCE CLOSED THEY REMAIN CLOSED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FRAME. IN THE EARLIER SERIES OF MY TENURE HERE, I HAVE BEEN VERY RELUCTANT TO INTERFERE WITH THAT PROCESS. HOWEVER, TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CA ACTION, I MAY USE MY AUTHORITY AS CM TO DETERMINE FIELD COLOR CHANGES BASED ON THE TIDE OF BATTLE AND TO INSURE THAT BOTH SIDES HAVE A SOUND FOOTING TO CONTINUE THE BATTLE. I BASE THIS RULING ON PAST PRECEDENT SET BY THE ORIGINAL ( AND LEGENDARY ) JABO. HE WAS KNOW TO USE THIS TECHNIQUE JUDICIOUSLY TO KEEP BOTH SIDES VIABLE.
