A player, 27 August 2012
Hi,
need a little clear awser.
If someone used ambush on my personality and creat a battlefild in wich no other personalitys can be moved or assighned can I use a sudden movement to get out my personality or move the enemy personality back to home?
I know that other personality cannot move to the ambush battlefield but I think that I can move the personalitys in ambush out of there. Am I wright?
Ambush: Limited: Choose your performing unbowed Personality and target another player's Personality: Create a battlefield (not at any province). Assign your Personality to attack there. Assign the target to defend there, even if he is bowed. Other Personalities will not move there. Fight a battle there (after this action's resolution). After the battle ends, lose 5 Honor.
Sudden movement: Battle: Target two Personalities controlled by the same player at different locations: Switch their locations. If they moved, straighten their units.
Thx for reply.

Per the CR on Switch, if one movement fails, all fail. Therefore, the fact that Sudden Movement cannot move a unit into the battle means the movement out via Sudden Movement will fail as well.
