I just realized that you could have played an EC Offensive from your Future Ops to go first if you wanted to. Do that if you wish. I'll still play the ISR card as my first card play, so it won't change anything from my standpoint, but would obviously allow you to get in an Offensive before coming under ISR restrictions. |
