Rules Q&A

• Q: 2) Do you "win" the Raid battle as an attacker when there are no opposing units at the battlefield if a) you have an army with unbowed units, but your army force total is 0 (Moshi Amika by herself in a battle)? b) you have an army with all bowed units so that your army's force total is 0?
  A: No and no. An empty army has a total Force of 0. You need to exceed that to "win". Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 December 2004", 10 Dec 2004
• Q: 2) Do you "win" the Raid battle as an attacker when there are no opposing units at the battlefield if a) you have an army with unbowed units, but your army force total is 0 (Moshi Amika by herself in a battle)? b) you have an army with all bowed units so that your army's force total is 0?
  A: No. You still need a force total greater than that on the defending side. 0 is not greater than 0, even if you have units and the other side does not. Martin Lund, "Rules for 6 December 2004", 10 Dec 2004
• Q: If I have an attacking army at Province A and an attacking army at Province B and I am resolving Province A. Can I have an attacking card, like Moshi Amika at Province B, Province a Ranged Attack and target the Province A to lower its Strength by the Attack\222s?
  No.
  Why not?
  A: Because that's how it was intended, designed, playtested, or, until this point, interpreted. Castle of the Wasp was not supposed to allow shooting between Provinces. That's much stronger than it was supposed to be, so I'm not going to allow it. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 26 Feb. 2004", 27 Feb 2004
• Q: Castle of the Wasp: Once per battle, you may target the current Province with a Ranged Attack from exactly one of your attacking cards to lower its Strength by the Attack\222s
  If I have an attacking army at Province A and an attacking army at Province B and I am resolving Province A. Can I have an attacking card, like Moshi Amika at Province B, Province a Ranged Attack and target the Province A to lower its Strength by the Attack\222s?
  A: No. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 24 Feb. 2004", 26 Feb 2004
• Q: If I have Wandering Sohei in play attached to Moshi Amika Basic, a copy of The Path not Taken in the fate discard pile and my opponent discards a Hired Killer, may I use the Sohei's trait to have Amika perform The Path not Taken from the discard pile?
  A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Wandering Sohei and The Path not Taken.", 19 Jun 2007
• Q: viewtopic.php?t=57964
  Attempting to be more clear and specific.
  Can a player using Castle of the Wasp combine a ranged attack from I Know That Trick with a ranged attack printed on another personality? With another I Know That Trick performed by another personality? Does the fact that the personalities are producing the ranged attack rather than the player (such as with Tsuruchi Techniqu) matter here?
  A player using Castle of the Wasp has three copies of Moshi Amika out; A, B and C (A has some force boosting item, rendering her at 3 force). A performs the first battle action on I Know That Trick. May one of the resulting ranged attacks be combined with B, and one with C? (For an end result of simultaneous Ranged 5, Ranged 5, Ranged 1)
  Same situation as abover, but with Moshi Amika and Moshi Amika xp. May one of the IKTT ranged attacks be combined with Moshi Amika xp's first battle action, and one with Moshi Amika xp's second battle action? (For an end result of simultaneous Ranged 7, Ranged 7, Ranged 1)
  Thanks!
  A: It's basically word for word the same question as previously posted (and answered!) in http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48829&highlight=trick+combine.
