Background: I saw a thread in BGG talking about this,In SoB page 20
its says the reinforcement marker stays facedown until the end of the
dungeon level or a new area is revealed, whereupon it is turned faceup
once again.

In RtL page 17 says the reinforcement marker stays facedown until the
end of the dungeon level.

Question: It works as stated in every rulebook?

Answers: A1.Yes it works diferent in SoB and the marker can be flipped
when a new area its revealed only in SoB campaigns.
A2:No, use the SoB rules for both RtL and SoB, that means in both
campaignsthe marker can be flipped back when a new area its revealed.
A3: No,It was a mistake to add that to SoB use the RtL rules, that
means you can flip back the marker only every new level.



Feel free to modify my words etc, as my mother tongue isnt english^^

I don't think, personally, that this is a 'needed' FAQ entry - the rules are *clear*, if slightly different. There isn't actually any requirement for them to be the same for both campaigns.
Answering this might be expending precious resources where they aren't needed.

That said, there are worse questions asked and answered already in the FAQ!

Anyway, McManus, this is the perfect example of what should now go in the "New Ideas" thread in the subforum - please add it there! Initially just as an idea/background if you want - it isn't necessary to do the 'leg work' of a full question writeup if it can be easily answred already or isn't general considered important to ask.
As a side note, the 'Question' will eventually appear in the FAQ without all the background, so it needs to be a little more fully formed than your first offering below. ;-)
Q. The condition for turning the reinforcement marker in RtL is "new dungeon level". In SoB the condition is "new dungeon level or area". Are these intended to be different?
