Rules Q&A
- Q: Delayed Terrain Battle: Send home a number of opposing units less than or equal to the number of players who control opposing units.
Does it mean I can send home 0 to 2 units if I control a unit and my opponent controls a unit in the same battle, or does it mean I can only send home 0 to 1 units because I only have one opponent (unlike multiplayer where I could theoretically any number of opponents in a battle).
A: The card is giving instructions to - you -, the player. "Opposing units," are assessed in relation to - you -. You can send a number of units home up to the number of individual players who control cards opposing cards that you control in this battle.
In a 2-player game, you'll normally only send up to 1 unit home. In multi-player, you could send more home under the right circumstances. Martin Lund, "Rules for 10 September 2004", 13 Sep 2004
