Siege Engines

[redsimon]

In the German version of the Twilight rules it says that the Free People's player may remove one Trebuchet and gain superriority if both players have the same number of Siege Engines.

However, in the English version (master document *cough*) I recently found that it says that the defender may remove a siege engine to gan superiority in such a case. So the Shadow player could do that, too (if he was attacked and had one or two Siege Towers).

Which is correct?

[hipsu]

First one is correct. (And the master document is also right).

Shadow can only build Siege Towers when besieging a stronghold and Free Peoples can only build Trebuchets inside a stronghold. Other way round is not possible.

[Krieghund]

Hipsu is correct. Siege Engine superiority only applies to siege battles, and any siege battle in which the Shadow is the defender will not involve Siege Engines.

Think of it Logically, if the shadow player was under siege, how would a "seige TOWER" possibly help defend?

I was actually talking about a sortie.
But I forgot that a sortie is not played according to siege battle rules, but to field battle rules. So of course siege engines are not used.
