Hi!
We are lookin to start a full game of Fire in the lake (no expansions) and are considering if we should be using v3 or v4a:
v3.0 is said by the designer to have a lot of issues (which?). The only one that we have found is that there is an incorrect amount of US troops in the available window (23 instead of 21), but the counter for available+support start at the correct amount anyway. So, not a game-breaking bug
Edit: The counter shows total available (troops and bases), not just troops. So, just a little unclear and not a bug.
v4.0.0a doesn’t clear movement tracks, neither from button “Faction done” or “reset”.
Severity: Annoying (always)
It also has a right click menu available on the draw pile which shows all the cards in draw order. This could advertently or inadvertently be used for cheating.
Severity: None to Harsh (depending on opponents)
We are not going to use any expansions, so for us v3 looks better, but are there any more issues that would break the game or that we have to be on look-out for?
