In the beginning of combat the acting minion maneuvers long and the blocking minion plays drawing out the beast. Is the result that combat is at long range? I would assume that if the blocking minion maneuvers short then the acting minion is not able to maneuver long. One of the issues here is when can DotB be played. Does the blocking minion need to wait until the acting minion chooses to maneuver or can the he play DotB before the acting minion has a chance to play a maneuver? Bruce

Ack checking my card text it actually doesn't specify that the card is played before maneuvers, only before range is determined. I have always played this cards as a pre-manever card (much the same as torn signpost etc.) Perhaps I have been wrong all this time... LSJ????? Karl

In article <35131F82...@infomatch.com>, [ quoted text not captured ] TBBOMK, 'play before range is determined' is functionally equivalent to 'play before maneuvers,' as maneuvering is an integral part of the range-determining process. gomi -- kono sora wo daite kagayaku, shounen yo shinwa ni nare.

"before range is determined" = "before determining range" = "before maneuvering". -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.
