Side Step in a chain push

Post by dwarfrunner »

If player A blocks player B and pushes into player C, can player C use his side step? It's says when a player is pushed, not when a player is blocked, and he is being pushed.

The player gets to use his Side Step. A pushback is a pushback. You don't need any other clarification. If you must then read this. It describes how pushbacks work in relation to the block dice. Since we know how Side Step works it's really easy ot see it here.

I added the italics to what I though was the pertinent part.
