Rules Q&A
- Q: The Rule of Location: This rule has two parts:
1. Any cards in units must be at the current battlefield to be legally targeted by a Battle action.
2. If a Battle action is on a card in a unit (a Personality or attachment in play), the unit must be at the current battlefield.
A: The personality must be at the current battlefield. The province may be any province belonging to that personality's controller. Chris Fuchs, "Forest Cleansing", 21 Sep 2007
