The rules are a bit conflicting the way they are worded. On the Turn Sequence Card it Specifically says: "Phase 3 Recruit Specialists/Find Items/ (Trade Resources/Purchase Awards).
But on page 6. of the rules under Trading Resources, it says: "Trading can be done at any time. During Combat (see Phase 5 Combat), trading is allowed after the rolling of Machine Gun Fire but before Units suffer casualties, to help cope with their losses.
I've seen other answers from people that say trading can happen at any time during ANY PHASE as long as it occurs before the Combat Phase as well. Wow, which is it?
Is it:
1) Trading can only be done during Phase 3
2) Trading can only be done during Phase 3 with the exception of soldiers during the Combat Phase, in order to satisfy losses (ie: Only soldiers can be traded during the Combat Phase).
3) Trading can be done at ANY time.
The rule writing is a bit lacking.
