Tom, any ruling on the following questions which, AFAIK, are
still up in the air? (I may have missed some answers during
my absense, but I think Shane netted most of what I missed
back to me. Apologies if these have already been answered).

Since nobody mentioned the change to me, I'm going to guess and say that
the costs for action modifiers were supposed to be ignored in the basic
game (if the action is blocked), but always paid in the advanced game,
and the advanced rules forget to mention this. (There was at least one
other case of this sort of thing happening.) I'll have to check on that
next week, though.

Seems like it would, but I'm only about 50% sure of that. Will have
to double check.

Oh, that's right. Grr. I think I already established that's an oops,
but should check again.

Correct.

I think you probably can play it, but will have to double check.
