A player, 21 February 2008
I am looking for a confirmation of this interpretation.
Winter Warfare Winter Until the beginning of your second Events Phase from now, Terrains can not be played, and actions can not move units to or from battlefields.
Broken Lines Reaction: Before battle resolution at a province, if you control one or zero Personalities: The Attacker chooses to either move all units in his army home, or bow 2 cards in his army (he can choose this even if he has fewer than 2 cards in his army).
My contention is that if I have Winter Warfare in play, and my opponent plays Broken lines, I may choose the send home effect (see: this ruling), and that Winter Warfare then negates that action (see: this ruling).
My reasoning is that I make the choice from Broken Lines, because I can choose an action which will be negated, and that Winter Warfare says "cannot be sent home" which is equal to "send home actions are negated."
Is my interpretation correct?

Looks right.
