Rules Q&A
- Q: 3. My opponent attacks provinces 1,2,3 and 4. I can only block 1, 2 and three. He does the fourth battle first and Strategic Crossroads. Can I use my Akodo's Grave there even if I have no presence?
A: No. It is a Battle action. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 16 Feb. 204", 18 Feb 2004 - Q: If I use Sadahige's tactical ability to pick up Come One at a Time, does the terrain still stay in play or, due to Sadahige's wording, go away after I use the dueling action?
In general, if Sadahige does bring a terrain back into play, does it stay until end of battle (or destroyed via cards like Akodo's Grave)?
A: Sadahige's ability says to remove the card from the game. You remove it from the game as the last effect of his ability.
Play the Terrain as its Battle Action. Remove it from the game when it is successfully "played." Then resolve its effect by gaining the opportunity to issue an immediate challenge if there is only one Defender. Martin Lund, "Akodo Sadahige and Come One at a Time", 14 Apr 2005
