Rules Q&A

• Q: Here's the scenario: I declare an attack.
  I have two personalities and assign one of them at one battlefield. My opponent has one personality also assigned at that battlefield to defend.
  As the attacker, I choose a battlefield where neither my opponent nor I have a personality first. I use Intimidation on the berserker I left at home, to move in to the battle, targeting the personality my opponent chose to defend against the personality I have at a different province. Something happens at this battle, the important thing is: the other battlefield had an enemy unit at it. When the battle occurs at the battlefield where I have the personality whom I assigned, my opponent and I both pass. I win the battle.
  Question 1: Do I win the battle in such a way that Ring of Earth is legally able to be put into play by its own text, being that there was once an enemy unit at that battlefield?
  Question 2: Do I have to destroy the province in order to put Ring of Earth into play? (I.E. if I do this as the defender, do I win the battle where I have a personality who has positive force contributing to my army and where my opponent does not have any personalities located at during battle resolution?
  A: There has indeed been an enemy unit at the battlefield, which is all that matters for the Ring of Earth (well, together with winning the battle and having no Personalities destroyed!), so you may play it in this scenario. Alex Jones, "Intimidation & Ring of Earth: Opposed", 24 Jan 2012
