I noticed the bottom of p 74 states “A player must place at least two terrain pieces on the battlefield.” This is at the bottom, below all the bullet points and under the bullet point requirement to pick 2-4 pieces (plus a compulsory for the defender).

Does this mean that if an attacker picks 2 but fails to place one of them (due to it not fitting in the sector, twice) that he keeps trying to place it until he succeeds so that he places two? I assume not, but can’t figure out why this line is in the rules otherwise. Or should this be interpreted as “A player must pick and try to place at least two terrain pieces on the battlefield”? That is does the bit about discarding unplayable terrain features on p 75 trump this two placing piece minimum requirement of p 75?

I thought the same as you, Mark. But then since the rules above already talk about picking. 2-4 pieces, do the rules below say you must place 2 pieces? Strange…
