War Rules for mercs
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 11:01 pm
The rules for mercenary actions applying towards the total damage count in a war are a little vague on a couple of issues. I would like to see an amendment to the rules that clearly answered the following:
Scenario:
Alliance A and Alliance B are at war. Merc A is a mercenary for Alliance A, and Merc B is a mercenary for alliance B.
The rules clearly state that if either mercenary attacks the opposing alliance, TD can be added to the war. However, the rules do not explicitly state if TD could be applied to the war if-
1) A person from Alliance A attacks Merc B.
2) Merc A attacks Merc B.
I think it is obvious in case 1 that TD should be applied to the war tally, but this is not made clear in the rules. The rules do not address in any way case 2, and I think it should be debated within the community whether or not TD from this fight would be counted towards the war. I feel personally that if case 1 is allowed, then case 2 should also be allowed, but I can see both points of view on case 2.
Is there any precedent for these cases that I missed in my search of this forum, or is this something that should be cleared up in the rules?
