Advanced Action Card Errata

Most long time players of the Advanced game probably already know this, but I figured I would post this for the newer or less experienced players of the Advanced board game.

There are three Advanced action deck cards that have incorrect or incomplete readings in the REBOUNDS section; cards 11, 47, and 55. These errors appear on both the original action deck cards (1981 - 2014) and the newer action deck cards (2015 - present). So, without further ado, here are the correct readings that should be in the REBOUNDS section the afore mentioned three action deck cards:

Action Card (11) - the REBOUNDS section incorrectly reads "Def. team Reb." | "DRF 3 - if not - ORF" The correct reading should be:

DRF 3 - if not - ORF | Def. team Reb.

Action Card (47) - the REBOUNDS section incorrectly reads "Def. team Reb." The correct reading should be:

Any Def. player 7 or more, if not - any Off. player 7 or more, if not - Def. team Reb. | Def. team Reb.

Action Card (55) - the REBOUNDS section incorrectly reads "DLG 2 - if not - OC" | "DRF - if not - ORF" The correct reading should be:

DLG 2 - if not - OC | DRF

Obviously, there isn't much room in the REBOUNDS section of the action cards for writing in these corrections. So, here is the method I use to make each correction:

Action Card (11) - I draw a curved arrow from the beginning of the bottom reading that ends pointing  above the top reading, and draw a curved arrow from the end of the top reading that ends pointing below the bottom reading. This reminds me that the readings are reversed.

Action Card (47) - I shorthand D7+/O7+/DTR above "REBOUNDS" to remind me that the
Any Def. player 7 or more, if not - any Off. player 7 or more, if not - Def. team Reb. should be the reading above the lone Def. team Reb. reading.

Action Card (55) - I simply cross out the "- if not - ORF" part of the second reading to indicate that it is as DRF reading.
