Rules Q&A

• Q: I know that the answer will not be know before the realease of BB but I might have forgotten my question at the time, so I'll wait and be please to see the answer at the right time.
  Dangerous Extremes says No player may declare an attack ...
  Now if a card force you to attack, such as An empty victory, how this will interact, do you have to blow your province and attack or does An empty victory go without pertinent effect? And with Rikugunshokan?
  A: If you aren't allowed to declare an attack, you can't declare an attack. It's that simple. You are not forced to pay any special costs to allow yourself to attack.
  Something that penalizes you for not attacking may or may not care that you couldn't -- only whether you did. You have to take these on a case by case basis. An Empty Victory will do nothing. Rikugunshokan will cause a loss no matter why you didn't attack with him. Jeff Alexander, "post for 31 July 2002", 1 Aug 2002
• Q: Dangerous Extremes (Event)
  For the rest of the game, no player may declare an attack against a player using the same Wind. This restriction has no effect if either the Attacker, intended Defender, or both have no Wind. Each player may end this effect on himself by destroying his rightmost Province as a Limited action.
  Defenders of the Realm (Action)
  Reaction: Play this card when one of your Provinces is about to be destroyed by an event. No Provinces are destroyed by this event.
  Can I save the province I have to give up for "Dangerous Extremes" with a "Defenders of the Realm"?
  If yes, does it save the opponent's province if he has to give it up? I am guessing no, since his province is destroyed in another turn. But what if he decides to destroy his province in the same turn I save my province by playing a "Plans within Plans"?
  A: Yes, but then the effect of Dangerous Extremes continues because you didn't pay the cost. Zen Faulkes, "Dangerous Extremes vs Defenders of the Realm", 14 Mar 2005

• Q: But what if he decides to destroy his province in the same turn I save my province by playing a "Plans within Plans"?
  A: "No Provinces are destroyed..." is absolute. Zen Faulkes, "Dangerous Extremes vs Defenders of the Realm", 14 Mar 2005
