Ammo vs Direct Intervention

My minion has a .44 Magnum and rushes into combat with my prey's minion. I play Dragon's Breath Rounds. My prey plays Direct Intervention on the DBR. Can I play another one? Dragon's Breath Rounds Ammo Card Text: Only usable before resolution of a gun's strike. That gun inflicts +2 aggravated damage each strike for the remainder of this combat. Burn the gun after strike resolution. This is an ammo card. No more than one ammo card can be used on a gun each combat. It has been ruled that you may not "play" a second Carrion Crows during a given combat if the first has been Directly Intervened. So what exactly is the difference between "used" and "played"? Does used imply "successfully used"? If I have a DRB DI'd, can I then follow up with Glaser Rounds? Carrion Crows Card Text: Only usable before range is chosen. ani:Opposing minion takes 1R damage each round of combat during strike resolution. A vampire can only play one Carrion Crows each combat. ANI:As above, but with 2R damage damage. Thanks! Jeff

I'm assuming this is because the previous card wasn't actually an ammo card i.e. the only thing causing it to be an ammo card is its card text, which has just been cancelled? -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, EBD690ECD7A1FB457CA2 So you don't confuse them with mountains. 13D7E668C3695D623D5D

It's because ther restriction is on use not on play. [ quoted text not captured ]
