Rules Q&A

• Q: Is the following sequence legal?
  1) Declare a Naval Invasion. (as the attacker) 2) Use Kyuden Gotei's ability to tap one of my naval personalities and gain two consecutive battle actions. 3) Play Jagged Earth (terrain). 4) Play Blackened Sky.
  I'm sure you can guess what happens now. ^_^ The part of the sequence I'm most curious about is number 3. Now while I didn't play a terrain as the first action of a naval invasion, I played a terrain before the defender was allowed to play. Is this legal?
  A: Nope. Bullet item #2 from the naval invasion rules:
  "Players with units in the Naval army may not play Terrains until after one of the other players passes or takes a Battle or Open action."
  Terrains are not prohibited only as your first single action -- they are prohibited to all players with one or more units in the naval army until a player not in that group has had an opportunity to take an ordinary action. Jeff Alexander, "post for 26 May 2003", 29 May 2003
• Q: A) Since Mushin says 2 consecutive actions, I can play Blackened Sky before he can react to the Jagged Earth. I kill his whole army, jump on the table, and yell, "Tsurchi just laid the smackdown on your candy ***!!" or some other wrestling trash talk.
  B) The Jagged Earth is negated first, so I have to shoot the followers first.
  A: If it weren't for the naval terrain goof, the answer would be B). Mushin doesn't give you two uninterruptable actions. It makes it your "turn" to take a Battle/Open action twice in a row. Jeff Alexander, "post for 18 April 2002", 18 Apr 2002
