I've tried scouring the Rulebook and FAQ, still can't confirm this:If an event card allows you to place influence in country that you you previously did not have influence, and you choose to have the event occur before you use your OP points to place influence, is this newly placed influence now treated as though it had been there "At the start of the round" and thus available to add influence to it or it's surrounding countries? Or is considered after the start of the round and you are still limited to the countries that you had influence in before the event?
Example:
US plays card that allows them to place 1 influence in 7 countries in Western Europe that don't have USSR control, regardless of adjaceny rules. OP points allow the player to add 2 more influence to the board. If they did not have an adjacent country next to France, lets say, but the event put 1 in France, can the US player now add influence to France?
I'm sorry if this is worded in a terrible way, I was having a tough time running it through my head. This popped up while I was test playing the game and forgot which countries I had placed said 7 influence in, in the example, and which I already had influence in. Got a little confusing. Thanks in advance for anyones help on this!
