Title: Side battle question
Post by: 3-Liner And Bags Of Chips on April 23, 2011, 09:53:18 AM
is there a limit to how many side battles you can have each battle phase?

Yes--you are limited to one side battle in each battle.

Per person.
Crud. English really needs a separate pronouns for the second person singular and second person plural cases.

Translation--RDT's correction is what I thought I was saying.

English does have that in roughly half of the US...just ask anyone who lives at least as far south as Missouri...

I figured that you knew that, was merely clarifying for those who can't interpret your 'old people jargon'.

Did Matt really say per battle? it must have been his early onset memory loss.

It's One side battle, per player, per turn.

It still needs to be shown so we know if its written correctly or not. But yes, one side battle per turn, per player.

Redemption® Rulebook > Diagram of a Turn > Battle Phase
Side Battles
Certain cards cause two characters to fight each other in what is referred as a side battle. An example is Troops Discharged, a gold brigade evil enhancement that reads, "Select two Evil Characters in play to fight each other." This immediately requires two characters to fight a new battle. The original battle is temporarily suspended until the side battle is completed. The side battle is still part of the same Battle Phase because the main battle has not yet concluded. After the side battle is resolved, all surviving characters return to their previous locations. Non surviving characters and their enhancements are discarded. Surviving characters that return to the main battle bring their enhancements to the main battle. Any ongoing effects of special abilities are applied (e.g., immunity) to the main battle unless that special ability was exhausted in the side battle (e.g., a draw a card). Rules for initiative in the original battle resume. Only one side battle may be initiated by a player each turn.

It's One side battle, per player, per turn.

To further clarify, in a game between players A, B and C:

On player A's turn, each player (A,B,C) may initiate one side battle each.
On player B's turn, each player (A,B,C) may initiate one side battle each.
On player C's turn, each player (A,B,C) may initiate one side battle each.

Hey,

For the record, Grapes of Wrath, Ambush the City, The Long Day and (I believe) Lazarus are not currently considered to have side battle abilities.  So the one per player per turn rule does not currently apply to them.

Tschow,
