When you pay CAPS towards initiative are they deducted from the current turn or from the next turn's pool?

Thanks,

Gerry

For example I found in round one, I get all my CAPs (say 8 CAPs). At any point I can change 'CAPs for Initiative' to +1 or +2 but my current CAP allotment does not change, i.e. decrease. When the current round concludes and the next one starts, I see the deduction of CAPs in the second round's total (say 6 CAPs if 2 were spent).

I'm not sure if that's what you were asking.

Status: offline 		One thing I noticed playing today, if I end a game with the Spend CAPs on Initiative Bonus Next Turn button set to either +1 or +2, then when I start a new game on the first round, I spend that much CAPs for initiative.

Meaning normally a new game starts and it's a straight roll for initiative. I can then spend CAPs on initiative and it takes effect at the beginning of the second round. However if I play my last turn of a game with +1 CAPs for initiative, then when my new game starts, on the first round I see +1 CAPs for initiative and my total CAPs is down one.

This is good if you remember what you did when you last played, otherwise it can catch you off guard.

Status: offline 		This definitely should not be default behavior. To fix it, Eric would need to have another choice on the pre-game screen that asks if we want to spent CAPS for Initiative. Any chance of this Eric?

I think this may be why my opponent recently kept spending 2 CAPS for Initiative. That is, it was not intentional. (We are still learning the interface too I guess.)

Thanks,

Gerry

Status: offline 		Gerry, I concur. I too am learning the interface hence why all my posts in this forum and especially in the Tech Support. I feel like I'm finding a lot of incongruities. I'm not saying I'm 100% correct but I need clarification than what I'm finding isn't a bug.

I think made a mandatory setup screen prior to the start of the game, similar to the reinforcements screen is required. Then allow both players in turn to be able to spend CAPs on Initiative. After all, it should be allowed even for turn one and you should also be able to set it to zero if it carries over.
