Rules Q&A
- Q: Rules question: The later version (7G cost) of the Terrible Standard reads "the Standard gains a +1F token for each opposing unit destroyed in the resolution phase of _a_ battle" Does this mean that even if the unit is not at the battle (either it has been sent home, moved, or was never in the battle), that it can gain these force tokens?
A: If it's not in a battle, there are no cards "opposing" it. It can't get any tokens at all. Jeff Alexander, "post for 29 March 2002", 30 Mar 2002
