Rules Q&A

• Q: so as far as i remember OPT was established after DoTE.
  reading along the Oracle we came across this card http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=7521
  Strategic Crossroad Terrain Other players' Personalities who moved into your army with an action have +2F while at this battlefield. All players have the ability, "Battle: Target your unit: Move it to the current battlefield." Battle: If there are no Terrains at the current battlefield: Put this card into play there.
  Legality Rain of Blood (Diamond)
  comparing it to Accessible Terrain http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=108 The Attacker and Defender each have the ability, "Battle: Any number of times per turn, target your unbowed Personality: Move him to the current battlefield."
  Questions: How many times can Strategic Crossroad be used? Let's say I have 1 unit in the battle and 5 bowed units at home. Can I use SCrossroad to move in all 5 units in, one at a time? If my opponent sends home one of the 5 units I moved in with SCrossroad, can I target it again and move the unit into the battle?
  Thanks!
  Bonus Question: I vaguely recall we should be posting Oracle text concerns at a different thread but i don't know where or if it even exists at all.
  A: As currently worded in the Oracle, the ability granted by Strategic Crossroad is once per turn. If you believe the Oracle may be in error in this case, you want this thread here. Jon Palmer, "Strategic Crossroad", 2 Apr 2013
• Q: I believe the question now is does Rain of Blood Suspend the normal restriction on ranged attack listed on pg. 90?
  A: Effects come from the card with the action. What "performs" the action is irrelevant. Zen Faulkes, "Rain of Death: Clarification", 9 Feb 2005
