Subject:  [NetRep] Rulings Digest #28
Is forcing the discard of the card that created the attack considered
canceling the attack for annotation 13? E.g. If I am attacked by a 
Dragon Ahunt or At Home, could I wait until after the strikes are 
assigned to Marvels Told it? If so, could I also play MT during the 
strike sequence, as discarding the Ahunt affects the strike (i.e.. it 
causes the strike to disappear)?
*** The answer to all your questions is no. Once the chain of 
effects that creates the attack is fully resolved, creating the 
attack, the event has done its job, so to speak. Hitting it with a 
Marvels Told will not affect the current attack.

"- A character removed from the control of direct influence outside 
the organization phase does not need to be controlled by general 
influence until that player's next organization phase.
- Changes to general influence take place immediately, with a minimum 
of zero free general influence. "
assuming there is a company with 4 GI free. then letīs say elladan is 
rebel talked. when i want to play muster disperses next, there is 
still 4 Gi free according to the rules above. since elladan "does not 
need to be controlled by GI until the players next turn" (sentence 1), 
there isnīt any change to the GI, and sentence 2 doesnīt apply.
till now i didnīt play it this way; i thought, the GI is changed
immediately. but thatīs how i read the rules now.
i ask for clarification.
*** You are reading the rules correctly. In your example, you would 
still have 4 GI free until your next organization phase, even with 
Elladan forced out from under direct influence.

I was told today in a game that Fireworks is not
permissable at Wellinghall. However, of the 3 people
I have asked about it, no one could find me where it
states that. Is this true? If so, where is it said??
*** It is not true. Brian Wong has previously ruled that Fireworks 
can be played on Wellinghall, and I concur.
