Rulings
- Q: Can I use reactions like Coordinated Fire or the strength-boosting effect of Arrows From the Woods in combination with Blackened Sky? A: No. Reactions are actions, and Blackened Sky says that all the actions you take during its effect must produce ranged attacks in and of themselves. The Imperial Herald, Issue 10, p. 10
Rules Q&A
- Q: OK, I am under attack but have no-one assigned to the current battle. As my first action I play Concealed Archers, then Coordinated Fire, then Stars Scatter. Did I just machine gun the attacking army or did I do something wrong? (We had this happen in a multi-player game recently and the Naga player completely wiped out a sizeable Phoenix army using it).
A: Looking at all the Reactions involved, the only one that doesn't work is Coordinated Fire. When combining Ranged Attacks, all the seperate attacks have to be legal in all ways at that point in time. Coordinated Fire breaks the one unit restriction, but doesn't break the any other restrictions. You couldn't combine Balash and Purusha's Ranged Attacks using Coordinated Fire because their timing doesn't combine, and you can't use Coordinated Fire to combine Ranged Attacks from several cards outside a battle, only one of which has a special condition allowing it to be legal.
