Hi,

Is it possible for the defending player to use action cards, in particular - the "Forced march", it doesn't say "Use during combat on it" - so I would say no. But maybe I've misinterprted the rules somewhere?

After the siege is finished, and the defending player has the next turn - he plays with what's left in his hand after the siege, or does he refill his hand to 5?

Cheers

1) You're right, the answer is no.

2) You refill your hand to five cards after being attacked.

This is partially right. You refill at the end of every players turn. This is important because a player could attack you twice, say once on your home realm and then a follow-up attack on a city you control. The defending player would not be able to draw more cards for the second siege.
