Good to notice!

If the primary victim selects his last area without selecting all unit points from that area, is the beneficiary then free to select areas of his/her own choice, or must he/she first select the area partially selected by the primary victim?
In fact the beneficiary is free to select any area, but must select each area completely in turn. Indeed no mention is made, that the beneficiary should finish a partly selected area.
This rule was added to avoid conflict as much as possible.
So I think indeed, now you notice, a line like that should be added
maybe it should be:

The beneficary must begin selecting the required unit points by selecting all remaining unit points in any area partly selected by the primary victim.

And what happens when an area holding a city is selected, but for example only three unit points were left?
The rules say:
Quote:
The beneficiary must select all unit points belonging to the primary victim in one area at once. If it's not possible to select all unit points this way the beneficiary must select as many unit points in the area as possible.
So only if it's the only area left this will happen. In any other case, another area must be chosen.
Indeed, it might happen. So one addtion should be made to avoid or clearify this. In practice (the previous civil war rules) what happens in this case, is that players unselected a previous selected area to select a city completely. This always was allowed but the new ruling denied this somewhat. Maybe this should be allowed like it was, but only if it occurs.
So my proposal:
Quote:
Only if selecting all units points in one area results in exceeding the required unit points, the beneficiary must select all unit points in this area and must unselect the excess unit points from one area previously selected by the beneficiary.
Hopefully this avoids partly annexed areas as much as possible.
