I've been following your stuff for a while but I finally am getting into playing, starting with Courier. When starting out, do you just pick a hex on a blank hex map and go from there?
Yep! The setup can be found on page 14 at the bottom.
" COURIER SAFEHOUSE
When starting the game, each player chooses any 1 cell as their initial location. Record a Courier Safehouse for that cell. This location has the same rules as a Safehouse and cannot be removed in any way from the game map."
Send me an email if you have any other questions and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
