two moves against one

#1 Post by charles738 » Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:18 am

A SC is free with two opponent units neighbours.
If both of them move and a third (not neighbour of the free sc, then can't suport the move) moves(=attacks) one of the two units, what happens?

If all of the attacks have a power of 1 (which they do in your example) then all the units would bounce and they'd finish the turn exactly as they started.

A move action cancels the support given by the attacked unit, but not the move action. Nothing happens, as Jamie says.
