Question on Scoring in GG3.

[regleant]

Core rulebook, pg 21 in the PDF: No Victory Points can be scored on the first Turn.

Core rulebook, pg 3 in the PDF: When a special rule explicitly contradicts the core rules, follow the special rule rather than the core rule.

All 4 Gaining Grounds 3 Strategies: At the end of each Turn, a Crew gains 1 VP if....

 

Based on combining these rules, is it fair to say that points can now be scored on Turn 1? Is GG3 a special rule that overrides the core rules?

That's the same language as the core rule book strategies  (pdf 44 and 45). 

To over rule you can't score on the first turn you would need something to specifically say it scored on turn 1. Otherwise its not directly contradicting.

The rule that you can't score on the first turn is to prevent having to say " at the end of each turn after the first, you can score..." on pretty much every scheme and strategy ever written.  

So no you can't score on the first turn in GG3.
