Seriously, Av 263 is recapped in FF 286 and the FF appear for about 1 page in X-Factor out of 37, so a one page recap is all that's needed.

Reread the section I bolded - it makes no sense having 1 part included but not the rest, people would be saying 'what just happened'?

It doesn't matter. If you go by this argument why not put the rest of Secret War II since those who read the issue where the Byrne plot is wrapped never see what happens to those other plots covered?
