Corrections:
An important note is that if you retreat in combat, your opponent chooses where you retreat to. This is mentioned during the atomics section, but not during combat, where it should have been.

An official FAQ was released while I was making this video. Among the clarifications, there are also a couple of rules changes. You can read the FAQ at https://www.cmon.com/wp-content/uploa... but the rules changes are as such:

There is no longer a one ban per turn limit during spice harvesting. You gain a ban for each faction that lowers.

If you win a combat as the attacker you do not have to move into the space if you don't want to.
