Okay, I am very confused. This happens rarely, normally I only need conformation. It has been established that that during an Ambush, Deeds and Words, the promotional holding, may activate if a pekkle is destroied because it is still the action phase.
Today, I was told that you can retribution off of an ambush.
These two things seem contradictory to me.
Retribution says
Reaction: After the end of an Attack Phase in which you were the Defender:
But for deeds and words to work it must be the action phase.
Also Ambush does not create an attack phase anywhere during the effects.
Limited: Target one of your unbowed Personalities: Create a battlefield (not at any province). Assign your Personality to attack there. Assign another player’s target Personality to defend there, even if bowed. No other units may move there. Fight a battle there. After it ends, lose 5 Honor.
So I have 3 basic questions, hoping I properly explained my confusion.
A: Does Ambush create an attack phase, which retribution would be able to trigger off of? B: If it does create an attack phase, how can you play deeds and words during an ambush? C:Is anything else I'm missing here?
