1. When banding Women of Israel (May band to any OT female hero) and Miriam (Hero ignores gold brigade evil characters), does Women of Israel inherit ignoring gold brigade evil characters as long as they are banded?

2. When playing an enhancement like Meeting in the Wilderness (Set two heroes aside for 2 turns. Both heroes return with abilities increased 3/3), can it only be played during a battle on a hero, or can it be played during the preparation or discard phase?

3. I'm trying to understand Immunity from the rule book, but it's unclear. Let's take Red Dragon (Immune to human heroes). If Miriam is making a rescue attempt and Red Dragon is defending, what happens? Does the rescue attempt fail?

4. Cards like Moses and Saphiarah that have the special ability "Negate all special abilities on characters and enhancements (Except this ability), when they are in play, it puts a stop to any and all special abilities on all enhancements and characters, making the game a battle of numbers only, right?

5. In battle: Moses is the hero (8/8) and is going for a rescue attempt. Defending is Idolaters (1/3). Idolaters have initiative and an enhancement is played that gives it 2/2 to make it a 3/5. At this point, since Idolaters is still losing, does the initiative get passed to Moses, or is it still on Idolaters since it's losing?

6. Is it common for a game to go so long as to run out of cards in the deck?

Thanks! That clears up a lot! But a few more questions based on those answers. Obviously, I've been playing the game a bit wrong. Again, sorry if these questions are terribly basic

2. I thought all enhancements could be played only when a character of matching brigade color is in battle?

4. If I play a character in my preparation phase or in my discard phase, it's special ability doesn't become active?

Thanks.

2.  Most enhancements can only be played in battle, however enhancements that have a set aside ability or are territory class (they have a symbol on the card beneath the numbers to indicate this, most enhancements are not territory class) can be played in the prep or discard phases.

4.  No, character abilities only activate in battle, and unless otherwise stated on the card, are only activated for that battle phase.

If I play an enhancement on my preparation or discard phase, I would have to have a character with a matching brigade color on the field right?
