Send Horror and Scouts

[lch]

This came up in the IRC channel some time ago, Zeldor knows how it works...

namad2: ugh!
namad2: scouts can attack BEFORE teleport attack phase?!?!?!!?
namad2: fuccccccccccccccck
namad2: i lost like 4scouts and wasted about as many horrors as a result
namad2: ****ed up thing is i made the same mistake in a previous game
Zeldor: if scout moves FROM a province that is being attacked in a magic phase, he will move in magic phase too
Zeldor: I learned it the hard way
Zeldor: and afaik you can conquer 2 provs at once if you are lucky [by magically attacking both the prov where scout is and where is moving]

"Attack current province" works like a zero-distance movement for that matter, the same applies.

Interesting. This could actually be a boost for a certain few nations.

Suppose you are pan. You have 30 stealthy troops in a neighbors territory. He has a vacant territory, but one he is going to move through.

If you cast horror on your province, you move in the magic phase, and take the empty territory. I wonder if it prevents the move through, or if that will occur anyway.

Ie.,

ABC
DEF
GHI

You have stealthy troops in his province E.
You hit E with a horror and attack H.
He has an Army in I moving to G.

I presume the army will fight in H.

Why would there be a fight in H? He's not moving to H.

If you take H like this in the regular phase, his army should arrive in G. If you take H in magic phase as well, his army should remain in I.
