This came up at VA's last playgroup:

Can you use Philistine Outpost more than once in the same turn?



-It dosent say you cant use it more than once.

Thanks!

Grapes. Also, attack doesn't mean rescue attempt.

You can be attacked many times in the same turn. Stillness/Jubilee/Long Day foolishness can net quite a few attacks, both players' Grapes can induce another attack, Ambush the City will allow another attack, and Lazarus can create another attack.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was just delineating every possible way for more than one attack to happen in the same turn, and stressing that PO could potentially be used many, many times in one turn.

I once got attacked five times in a single turn. He attacked from hand, I Gomer to his (KoT? some really good EC) and Grapes, figuring he probably doesn't have a second Hero. He attacks again with Lazarus, I beat him. He attacks a third time and Grapses my block, figuring I probably don't have a fourth EC. He attacks and I do! However, he also has Ambush the City, and his fifth attack goes uncontested due to lack of eligible blockers.

A little-praised aspect of Gold is its ability to attack multiple times fairly easily, requiring 2+ EC's to defend every block. Ambush the City is one of the most underrated cards in the game.

Extra especially since it's in the same Brigade as Ehud. It really is a crying shame he has First Strike.
