		+	If a Trooper receives and removes [[Wound]]s or [[States]] in the same Order, the positive effect is always applied first, followed by the negative effect.
		+
		+	For example, if an [[Engineer]] cancels a Trooper’s [[IMM-A]] State at the same time that the same Trooper is hit by a Riotstopper, the Engineer’s WIP Roll to cancel the Trooper’s IMM-A State is made first, then the Trooper makes their PH-6 [[Saving Roll]] against the Riotstopper’s [[PARA]] Special Ammunition. In this way, the original IMM-A Status could be canceled and a new one inflicted in the same Order.{{erratahighblock-end}}

		+	'''Infinity. Fair Play'''
		+
		+	To streamline the game, the opponent may assist the Active Player with measurements, checking [[LoF]], etc. This will make the game more exciting and dynamic. Fair play is a win-win for both players and is essential for a good game atmosphere. If mistakes are made, ideally both players should come to an agreement to fix the problem.
		+
		+	The tagline “in Infinity it's always your turn” isn't just about using AROs to react during your opponent's turns, but that it is also a tool to interact continuously with your opponent, creating a constant dialogue that makes the games more engaging and enjoyable. This makes it easier to keep learning and improving your game skills, and has helped create a tight community of players, whose friendship reaches across borders and oceans.
