Here's the way I'm seeing it. I have a boss minion being placed outside of a surge. How do I do that? I read page 7, it tells me to apply the ambush rules to the top card. No conditional statements here; mention of surges or type of encounter are absent.
The way I'm interpreting the rule on page 7, there is a conditional statement. It says "If there are already minion cards on the track when adding a boss minion that has multiple initiative cards," then follow such and such procedure.
Other than specific scripted story events that might add a boss when there are minions already out, the only way I can see having to add a boss "when there are already minion cards on the track" is during a special surge that specifically mentions that boss (I don't remember if any of the encounter cards list Brodie as a regular surge minion, though). But if this situation only comes up during a special surge and the rule is "surge minions are never affected by ambush," why would there be any mention of following the ambush rule in this situation if it never applies in this situation?
