[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9248787, member: 42582"] I infer that the answer to my question - are you arriving at your conclusion about the lack of rules by way of reading the rulebook - is NO. So you are just conjecturing. And in a relatively hostile fashion at that - in the sense of, rather than asking "How do the AW rules address <XYZ>", you are asserting on the basis of nothing more than conjecture that "The AW rules fail to address XYZ." [USER=6915329]@Faolyn[/USER] and I have already provided quite extensive extracts from the rulebook. The original versoiFrom a subsequent post that quotes from the rulebook in detail: The post I've just quoted from also includes a lengthy illustrative example, written up by me, that includes some fairly low-stakes back-and-forth which at various points does not trigger player-side moves.
