Canine Horde: Destroy weapon First Strike
Acrobatics: Dodge with additional strike
Scenario:
George taps Gitane to defend against Pif, who is bleeding him with
Bianca, who has a .44 Magnum. Bianca moves to long range, thus committing
to a strike with said weapon. Bianca is acting, so George is gets to see
her strike first. Pif knows George's deck, and plays Acrobatics. George
and Pif get in a fist fight, because George doesn't think Bianca can
dodge aith a Magnum. Pif wins.
What do you think?
Thanks

Pif/Bianca's play is illegal. Since Bianca is committed to her
Strike: .44, she can't play Acrobatics for a Strike: Dodge.
George/Gitane can play Canine Horde to destroy the .44 and
cancel Bianca's strike. (After these strikes have been resolved,
Bianca can then play the Acrobatics for an additional strike at
long range [without the .44], if she so wishes.)
In retrospect, if Pif "knows George's deck", he shouldn't have
manuevered with the .44 at all in the first place. Then
Bianca can play the Acrobatics, then use the .44 for the
additional strike.

Hi Dennis,
All dodges are strikes (a design team ruling), so Bianca must
strike with the .44 if she used it to manuver, thus allowing Gitane's
canines to eat it first. If she still has the gun after the first round
of strikes is resolved, she could play a card to give her additional
strike(s) with the gun, then again, she might play an additional strike
card and throw a gate, sewer lid, etc.
If Pif really knew George's deck, then Bianca should not have
manuvered, in which case the acrobatics card would have worked quite well....

Using a gun's maneuver locks you into striking with that gun for the
initial strike of the round. If your minion gets additional strikes,
any strike can be used for the additionals, including firing the gun again.

6) If you use a weapon's maneuver, then the first strike you use
that round must be to use that weapon. This means you cannot use
two weapons to maneuver in the same round. However, if you get
additional strikes that round, you may choose to strike with
something other than the weapon you maneuvered with.

But this does raise an interesting question: Can the gun's strike be used
on the additional strike gained? One is still using the gun for
one's strike, just not the one immediately after the maneuver.
For the record, I don't think so.

Pif cannot play the Acrobatics, since doing so would be a strike, and
using the gun to maneuver commits Pif to striking with that gun on the
initial strike of the run.
