Not really that hard to discover now is it

. Just read some of the rants by Calahan and you know about them.
I just pointed that out because that trick is not really counterable. (And a nasty a-hole move). In fact at the SA forum, a place with a reputation for using as few rules as possible. The hiddencommander autospawn castlelock trick is banned, next to copying the rules of a mind controlled bogus archer to other commanders.
So, as one newbie to another, I would ban those two tricks. (And I would also consider banning scout move blocking armies).
Just to prevent a lot of drama later on.
(Edit) Thanks for calling me a vet. It made me feel all warm inside

. Sadly I'm not. Only a SP vet.
