Hi all, I've a question for the experienced players out there. Basically, is counterblocking possible?. Say: I take an action with on e of my minions - my prey increases his intercept and blocks. Would it be possible for one of my, yet untapped, minions to block the block?. Regards Simon Pedersen

In article <8018496...@inet.uni-c.dk>, [ quoted text not captured ] No. The only way to stop a block is to increase your stealth (or play Form of Mist during combat). You can't block a block. | If you've got a hot lead on a new | *--Joe--* | PC game, call the announce line at | js...@vt.edu | ** csi...@discus.ise.vt.edu ** | +-------------------------------------+---------------------------------- "There.

You can't block a block. You could also use superior Day Operation. Also, the DT has made it known that if you cause the blocker-to-be to become tapped before the block resolves, then the block would be unsuccessful. The only card capable of such an effect was the (pre-DTR 5/9/95) Anarch Troublemaker, who could tap two minions of your Prey. If one of those minions was the proposed blocker, then the block would be thwarted. -- L.
