Rulings
- Effects that give a bonus based on how many of a certain type of card is in play gives its full bonus under this Terrain (e.g., Ancestral Sword, Crab Clan Oni). All that matters is that the card providing the bonus is in the unit; the cards that the bonus is based on may be anywhere. [DW, email, 4/9/97] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 37
Rules Q&A
- Q: 2- Can I use Mapped Region in a battle without units to search for a terrain (like Treacherous Terrain) that 'may be played in a battle in which you have no units'?
A: No. Jeff Alexander, "post for 18 November 2001", 19 Nov 2001
