A player, 26 April 2005

Hello.

Writ of Command +0F / +0C. Cost: 4; Focus: 4. Will only attach to a Courtier. Open: Bow this Personality: Target a Dishonored Personality controlled by another player. During attacks this turn, you assign the target instead of his controller, you may assign him even if he is bowed, you may straighten him after each time he assigns, and he may assign and move into your armies.

By rulebook a unit can only move into his controler's armies(or allied)

The writ waives this rule.

So now a unit can move to both armies.

The other player uses the WoC on Shono. He assigns him to defend.

I still have control of shono (B/c WoC doesnt change control).

I choose to use shono's movement acction and move him to another province.

In the new province (battlefield) shono joined the attaking army (shono's controler one) or instead the WoC player army? There is a choice in what army you move?

Most cards are move your own units "to your armies" by default.

If the WoC player moves my shono with is cards he could move it into his armies.

But if shonos controler moves him he could move it into his armies.

Q)So, it is a "who moves him chooses to what side of the battle he moves"?

(since he has no "army restrictions" in his movements now)

Edit: if i want to use WoC effect to asign a enemy unit to one battle(to deal with him then) i have to asign it in the attaking infantry maneuvers.

Q)This is simultaneous with the other players units(this means that we have to write it in a paper and then reveal it....?)? after(so i know where he has asigned)? before (so he can try to asign more units to save his unit)?

Thanks.
