I posed about this for Superhero Spring http://forum.codenameentertainment.com/?thread_id=12121#61840

If Pete the Carney is anywhere in the back row Bad Joke is applied to the top right position even if other positions are further away.

If Pete it in the top left position then I would expect the lower right would be impacted.

If in the center back then I would expect the top and lower right to be impacted.

Is this different in events for some reason?

Hi Bob4Mary,

Thank you for the report.

The "farthest" Crusaders from Pete, Momma Kaine, etc. are defined by counting Crusaders in the spots around them and seeing who is furthest away. It's not a matter of distance between the Crusaders as they are pictured in the formation.

There are some issues when there are escorts in formation, like on "Grond" or "Not in Kasas Anymore", that are on the designers to-do list to discuss how to treat them.
