Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Mountain Pass This Province gains +4 Province strength. Provinces adjacent to this have -1 Strength. (If a Province is destroyed, the one next to it becomes adjacent.)" [MRP, Gold Edition, 1 July 2001] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 137
- Clarified: if an adjacent Province is lost, the next one over becomes adjacent. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 10
- When a Province is destroyed, it is completely removed and the ones to either side are now considered adjacent. [DW, email, 8/26/97] Accumulated Rulings, April 22, 1998, p. 24
