I've had a query on my mind for a while that I've never really investigated/discussed properly.
Since the FAQ, Objectives that are on the border of two Territories are not considered to be Wholly Within either Territory, and thus can be scored for several Battle Tactics e.g. Aggressive Expansion.
Does this include the battle plans where there is a gap in between the Attacker and Defender territories? Do we consider this no man's land to be a territory, even though nobody owns it? (By definition, a Territory is an area of land that has an owner: "an area of land under the jurisdiction of a ruler or state").
It seems to have been generally accepted that this is the way to play, which is fine, though it does make some easy scoring e.g. on the Vice you can score Aggressive Expansion turn 1 because the objectives are at the edge of the table.
As long as everyone at the table/event plays the same way it's not a problem, though I do think that it's being played wrong, personally. I had assumed the FAQ was mainly there to address the battle plans where two Territories touched, for example Tectonic Interference or Tooth and Nail.

What do people think? Does it even matter?
