1960: The Making of the President

← All 1960: The Making of the President questions

Do events that place media or issue cubes skip the normal costs and support checks?

The thread leans this way, but one poster disputes the media case, the GMT edition changed the rule for state support, and no official ruling settles it.

In the original rules, usually yes: cubes an event places cost no CP, and a support check happens only when the card says so. Issue cubes never need a check. One poster argues Republican TV Spots media placement still needs one, and a poster notes the GMT edition's rule changes require checks for events that grant State Support in carried or occupied states, so check your edition.
