A player, 3 January 2009
May I play a card that negates movement if that movement is already being negated by another card in play?
Example:
I am attacking, I have 1 unit at province A, and 1 unit at home. I play Blanketed Forest at Province A. I attempt to move my unit from home to Province A.
May I play Hamstrung?
Does the answer change is the movement simply doesn't happen, as would be the case in the same example above, and the unit at home has already been in the resolution of a battle on the attacking side?
thanks, Andrew

This will be clarified further soon, but for now, in this case,
Blanketed Forest's effect occurs before any reactions can be played.
Hamstrung wold not be a legal play in this case.
