Rules Q&A
- Q: If I am being attacked, and use the Tactical Battle action on Distant Keep, targeting one of my own units, may I choose not to show myself my hand so that my unit will move to the battlefield?
A: Yes. They are all "may" conditions, which allows you to make a yes / no decision, even if it seems a little silly since you are always privy to your own hand's information. Martin Lund, "Rules for 29 and 30 December 2004", 5 Jan 2005
