So I had a little back and forth with a T.O. a little bit ago as they ruled that when an Objective Marker is dropped from an incapacitated operative that was holding the Enemy Objective marker that it is the same 40mm marker that is dropped. They stated that it is a 20mm token that is dropped and said that when the operative picks up the marker it is no longer the marker and just a token.
The T.O. stated that is how they rule it. I asked if there was any rules that made them think that a marker changed when held by an operative and they just told me this is how they rule it. I realized I was not going to get anywhere and just moved on with the rest of the tournament.
Now I am still new and have only been playing for a year and this was my first tournament. Is this common? Is there some rule I am missing? I could not find anything in the Core or FAQ our Community updates that talked about things changing when you pick them up.
This also got me thinking as I was looking through stuff and with only being able to carry a single token unless otherwise, what would happen if there was a bacon planted on the energy cell marker? Or martyr tokens?
Still trying to learn the nuances of the game since most of my play has been very casual at my FLGS.
