Rules Q&A
- Q: Precise Strike: If I have only one personality at a battlefield who is bowed and my opponent has equal to or more units, I can play this card, correct?
A: Correct. Zen Faulkes, "Precise Strike and the Good Faith rule", 16 Feb 2011 - Q: However, if I have, say, two bowed personalities at a battlefield and my opponent has only one person there, I cannot announce Precise Strike becasue I cannot pay the conditional cost of bowing, correct?
A: Also correct. Zen Faulkes, "Precise Strike and the Good Faith rule", 16 Feb 2011 - Q: Can someone please clarify for me the types of enemy cards that can be bowed by this card. I am a little confused by this statement on the card "Bow a target enemy card without unbowed attachments" thanks in advance. Does the enemy card have to have a bowed attachment in order for this to work?
A: See answer above. Zen Faulkes, "Precise Strike", 30 May 2010 - Q: Can someone please clarify for me the types of enemy cards that can be bowed by this card. I am a little confused by this statement on the card "Bow a target enemy card without unbowed attachments" thanks in advance. Thank you I am more concerned with the part "without unbowed attachments"
A: An enemy card is a card in a unit in the opposing army.
Cards in units are: Personalities, Followers, Items, Spells Cards NOT in units are: Terrains in play, Regions Dan Jacobson, "Precise Strike", 29 May 2010
