Rulings Naming Assault on Ulthuan Cards
The FAQ contains the following rulings and examples that name Assault on Ulthuan cards. They are reproduced under the base-rule heading the FAQ places them under. The surrounding general rules are not reproduced here; see the base Warhammer: Invasion rulebook.
Resolving a Card Effect (v1.7)
For example: Harpies (AU 24) reads "Quest. Action: When an opponent draws cards for his quest phase, corrupt this unit to discard 1 card at random from that player's hand if he has 7 or more cards in hand." If the player who controls Harpies triggered the effect when his opponent had at least seven cards in hand, but the opponent plays one or more cards in response which drops his hand to six or fewer cards, then when it comes time for the Harpies to resolve the effect will be cancelled, since there are no longer seven cards in hand to fulfill the "if" conditional.
Just Played (v1.8)
For example: High Elf's Disdain (AU 21) reads "Action: Cancel a tactic just played." In order to cancel a tactic, High Elf's Disdain must be played after a tactic is added to the action chain, but before the chain resolves. Provided the chain is still active, players may add other effects to the chain before playing a card like High Elf's Disdain and canceling a tactic played earlier in the chain.
Trigger Conditions (v1.4)
For example: The trigger condition on Walking Sacrifice (AU 23) is "When this unit leaves play..." for the unit must leave play before the Forced Effect can trigger. Another example of a trigger condition is "At the beginning of your turn..." which is found on cards such as Rat Ogres (CC 55) and Cloud of Flies (CS 93).
Entering Play (v1.4)
For example: A player plays Savage Marauders (CS 82) from his hand, starting an action chain. Both players may then respond to this action with any number of actions, which are resolved in a "last in, first out" manner. At the end of the chain, Savage Marauders will enter play unless a card canceled it from doing so, such as Asuryan's Cleansing. Note that Savage Marauders can only be targeted by card effects that say "just played", though players may use card effects during the chain to target other cards in play.
Questions and Answers
Q: If I have an Altar of Khaine (AU 36) and 3 units in play and my opponent plays a Troll Vomit (CS 80), can I trigger the card effect multiple times and return all 3 units to my hand?
A: Yes. As long as you can pay all costs, you may trigger Altar of Khaine to a single card effect that destroys multiple units simultaneously.
Q: If I have The Glittering Tower (AU 13) in play, and multiple units are healed by the same effect (e.g. Initiate of Saphery's card effect), does the Tower's ability trigger once or once for each unit healed?
A: The Glittering Tower will trigger once for each unit healed, regardless of if they are healed simultaneously.
Q: If I have Savage Gors (CS 90) on the quest Sack Tor Aendris (AU 32) in the Quest Zone, does its Battlefield ability activate?
A: No. This is because the Savage Gors are only able to attack as though it were in your battlefield. The ability does not actually put the card into your Battlefield.
