Rules Q&A
- Q: Using the Dark Path/Winter Warfare ruling...
If I use Block Supply Lines to send an attacking unit home, bowed and then use Sanetama's Reaction, would the attacking unit stay in the battle, but be forced to bow?
Cards in Question...
Shinjo Sanetama - Unicorn Clan Master of the Hunt * Cavalry * Reaction: Bow when an infantry unit is moving into or out of a battle Sanetama is in. The move is cancelled if all the units in Sanetama's army are cavalry.
Block Supply Lines - Battle: Remove one attacking unit from this battle. It returns home bowed.
A: Yes. Sanetama only negates the movement. (He was worded back when "cancel" was used in two different ways.) Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for late February 2001", 10 Mar 2001
