Hi together,

First of all I would like to thank Arcane Wonders for this brilliant game! It combines so many genres that I love. The mechanics are so realistic, fun and well-thought-out that me and my playgroup are going to support this game for a very long time. Well done!

Sorry if this question has been asked already, but I couldn't find anything by searching through the forum:

If a friendly creature with the counterstrike trait is melee attacked by an opponent which also has a guarding creature in the same zone, whom is my counterstrike going to hit? Would it be the attacking creature ore the one with guard instead?

I understand the rules that a counterstrike is a completely new attack and therefore forced to hit the guarder (that is how we played it). However, I am not 100% sure if this is correct and it feels odd somehow. I think that a COUNTERstrike should automatically hit the source of the attack regardless of any guarder in the zone.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me to get this straight before the situation occurs again.

Many Thanks
