FT196 SPITTELMARKT SSR question

[Michael R]

SSR 2: Before setup, each player (starting Russian and alternating) must place 5 rubble counters and then 4 shellhole counters in eligible hexes.

I can derive two meanings from that statement.

Meaning #1: a total of 10 rubble counters and 8 shellhole counters are placed.

Meaning #2: a total of 5 rubble counters and 4 shellhole counters are placed.

Which is meaning correct? TIA.

#1. Each player must place 5 rubble counters, etc. For #2 you have to say something like, "before setup the players must place 5 rubble ..."

edit: If the SSR had said, "each player must place one rubble counter," that might make the way it should be read more clear.

Playing Spittermarkt at the moment. We take it as #1.

I concur, #1. "Each" is pretty clear IMO.

I played it using approach #1.
