Setting the East Ablaze rule amend: crossing bridges, defiles, etc

Setting the East Ablaze: rule amend (which I forgot to put in the 2nd edition, despite us playing it for years - soz)

‘Crossing bridges, defiles and other narrow passages:

One of the few downsides of a card driven game is that players can sometimes become stuck in an endless column of units trying to cross a bridge/defile/any other narrow space you care to think about, awaiting the lead units card to come out. To stop this happening, once a ‘stack’ has formed and the turn is finished, the entire column moves on the first card from said stack the following turn. When subsequent cards from said stack appear, they are then ignored as the unit has already moved. We find this approach works well. It slightly slows down a column of units trying to cross a narrow passage (as would be the case), but doesn’t slow things down too much’

Thanks peeps
