questin: storm sewers and torn sign post

[EMCG...@maine.maine.edu]

When a minion taps the storm sewers card and conbat occurs the card says to ing
nore the range determination phase because the combat is always at short range.
If I press the combat to the second round can I play Torn sign post even though
the card says play before the range determination phase.

Yes. The cards that say "play before range is determined" really mean
"play at the start of a round". This is official, and a good example
of what can happen when you allow common sense to override the imprecise
(or plain wrong) wording so common to the Jyhad/VtES cards.

Storm Sewers:
Eliminates the "choose range" steps for that combat. Any card which is
played before range is chosen is then played before strikes are chosen.

If you want to be picky you could say that the stormsewers allows you to
play torn signpost any time during combat, since even during strike
resolution it is still before the choose range phase, (There wasn't any)

[Thomas R Wylie]

If there is no "choose range" step for a given round, effects that are
"only usable before range is chosen" become "only usable before strikes
are chosen".

To be fair that would be more wordy.
I always thought the card worked as described.
