Rules Q&A
- Q: Question about timing. If Sihaken wins a battle where Fields of Battle has been played, is the terrain cleared before or after Sihaken's reaction (i.e. can he use his ability?)
A: Provinces are destroyed during the Resolution Segment, but Terrains aren't discarded until the Final Steps, so Sihaken will not be able to use his Reaction (see here for the sequence). Brook Cunningham, "Bayushi Sihaken + Fields of Battle", 27 Jan 2010 - Q: Unrelated follow-up: If Fields of Battle has already been played and then personalities move into the battlefield, do they now suffer from Fields of Battle's effects, or do the penalities only apply to personalities present when Fields of Battle was played?
A: The former case. Personalities moving in later would be subject to the restriction and penalty. The Terrain creates an ongoing effect that affects all Personalities to whom the conditions apply while it lasts. Brook Cunningham, "Bayushi Sihaken + Fields of Battle", 27 Jan 2010 - Q: Thank you,
A: You're very welcome. Brook Cunningham, "Bayushi Sihaken + Fields of Battle", 27 Jan 2010
