Title: Side Battle question
Post by: jbeers285 on April 22, 2015, 09:41:53 PM: CWD is active

rescuer is in battle with Jair
Jair is blocked by Gomer to Prince of Persia
Jair plays sword against sword and causes Prince of Persia to fight Assyrian Archer in the side battle.
Assyrian Archer gets initiative and plays Death of Unrighteous

Does Prince of Persia get Si in the side battle?

Thanks for the confirmation. RDT said approximately the same thing to me via FB.

I feel like some people are confused about SI and Side Battles, and that it stems from the Real Rulings. Is there a question about how SI works with them? In the case indicated, there is nothing special that would preclude SI in that side battle.

Right, it does because it is discarding Prince. I think I may be missing something you are trying to say, but that was what I was agreeing with, DoU grants Prince SI in the side battle.
