I have a point of curiosity! If you have a Strong Crew, can you go up in Tier by picking the strengthening Hold option again, or is the advance wasted if you don’t have the coin?
Also, here’s an “I think I missed this when the last version updated” question: since you lose a level of hold when you advance, can a weak-hold crew keep choosing to go up in tier, or do they need to advance hold by one so that they don’t go from Tier 0 Weak to Tier 1 Weak and lose a hold taking them back to Tier 0 Weak?
I am perfectly fine with getting the patented John Harper “Oh look I left it out of the rules, oopsie daisy, who did that!? sigh guess you’ll have to make that decision yourself based on the fiction” response.
It seems pretty clear to me that yes you need coin to go up a Tier — it costs money (materials, equipment, bribes, etc) to expand your Org.
You need to be at least Firm Hold to advance a Tier. John answered this one in another thread.
Colin Fahrion Yup found it. (I didn’t know where the search community feature was.
Back to another thing, presumably, I’d think you wouldn’t waste the Tier Advance if you didn’t have the coin at the time, it would just remain unused for a bit, and catch up when you want to spend it. I’m drawing this conclusion from John’s responses to Stras wanting to delay a Playbook Advance, etc.
Yeah, it’s not wasted if you can’t afford it right now.
