Rules Q&A
- Q: I have a question about using Political actions (As Pressure) on the Shadowland player. If Shadowland player don't take political actions is Pressure unusable and don't have efect or not? By me yes! They don't heve efect. :)=
A: Political actions can be played AGAINST a Shadowlands player just fine. Sorry, but it's legal to Pressure your ogres into accepting challenges. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 23 January 2001", 25 Jan 2001
