1.) If a combat that is moved to long range, and then it's press to another
round, does the next round starts out long or short?
2.) On the card such as Telepathic Misdirection, the top line says "+1 int"
and the subsequent lines are in bold that says "A minion bleeding
you...". Does this mean the bold part only works for superior auspex?
But then when I read the spoiler, it indicates that there is no superior
part. How do we tell then? The same goes for Spying Mission and Cloak
the Gathering.
3.) With the card Deflection, the bold, superior part says that the reacting
vampire does not tap. But the rule in 7.2.2 states that "Reaction cards
does not tap the minion using the card."
4.) Will we see the number of cards restricted to four each? I have a
friend who just plays a bunch (about 8 of each) stealth cards and Wake
of the evening freshness. Obviously, he kills everyone.
5.) If you declare a withdraw, then you can't block a bleed attempt by
your predator, right?
6.) When is the first expansion?

Each round of combat starts out at close range.

All discipline cards will have two versions: the normal version, and
the version for those with superior <discipline>. For Telepathic Misdirection,
the normal version is to give +1 intercept, and the superior version is
to redirect a bleed attempt. If the spoiler list indicates that vampires
with normal Auspex can redirect a bleed with this card, then the spoiler
list is wrong.

The normal version of Deflection causes the reacting vampire to tap, something
which, as you say, doesn't normally happen when a vampire uses a reaction
card. The superior version waives this drawback of using the ability.

Last I talked to the Convocation folk, they didn't have any plans to
restrict cards in Jyhad, or not. But remember that your group can always
impose deck construction limits of its own, so if none of you like having
more than 4 of a card in a Jyhad deck, then play with that rule, regardless
of whether the Convocation introduces that rule or not.
Also, a useful approach when someone builds a degenerate deck is to keep
building decks which will hose it. Gangrel/Bum's Rush decks will go a long
way towards defeating a stealth/wake deck, and being able to wake up a
lot won't help much against a voting deck.

They can, but that will prevent you from withdrawing. Of course, being
bled would also prevent you from withdrawing... the solution here is cards
like Telepathic Misdirection and Telepathic Counter.
>6.) When is the first expansion?
There are no particular plans for expansions at the moment; we're waiting
to see what kind of demand there would be.

All rounds start at short range.

These are action modifiers/reaction cards, so the +X stealth/intercept
is something which you can add OR you can take the bottom in bold.
Tele. Misdirection will:
1) give a blocking attempt +1 intercept (if you would rather fight)
OR 2) misdirect the bleed if you'd rather let someone else worry.
Spying Mission:
1) Increase the stealth of your bleed by +1
OR 2) After a bleed is unblocked, forego the damage to increase the
the effect of the next bleed.
Cloak the Gathering is cool because:
1) an acting minion with obfuscate can get +1 stealth
OR 2) with an untapped reserve minion with superior obfuscate, you
can give an acting minion without obfuscate +1 stealth
(this is really handy if you have one good Nosferatu/Malkav,
and lots of enhanced bleeders)

Call if an unfortunate effect of late breaking changes in the rules (or
a reminder).

Pack your deck with intercepts and aggravated damage. Ravens, Mr Winthrop,
Sport bikes, Auspex reactions. 2nd tradition. Tremere/Malkavian + Andreas.
KRCG radio. Include some traps, Bum's Rush, and other direct attack
effects. If you don't have votes, use Caitiffs. Direct attack every
vampire with Obfuscate, then diablerise/Grave Rob ASAP.
Alternately, duplicate his crypt and add 2 Democritus + lots of effective
management. I effectively put my predator out of the last game by contesting
his vampires. The uncontested ones HAD to defend while mine were free
to bleed my prey silly.
(Or play a house limit of 3-4 cards like we do)
Good Luck...
