BW Rules Questions

By Gartch, in StarCraft

Hi everybody, it's my first post on this forum and I have 3 questions about rules:

1-Is it possible to use the leg enhancement capacity to destroy heros?

2-Is it possible to use GANTRITHOR ability to destroy a hero

3-If a player cancel his opponent's reinforcement in a battle, does this opponent has the right to use recharge to keep this card in hand, and if answer is yes can he replay it immediately?

Thank in advance for answers:)

I would say yes for the first 2 questions. As far as question 3, I would say you have the ability to recharge it back to your hand, but not replay it immediatley. But i'm not 100% on any of the three, so you might want to wait for some more opinions. Probaly more like 96%

1) is a "no":

"Heroes are also immune to the mind control ability and all
Technology card abilities that destroy units (for example the
Protoss “Leg Enhancements” or Zerg “Spawn Broodling”)."

3) is "yes / no"; the card is discarded, the recharge ability triggers and the owner can take it back to his hand (maybe adding a marker to it), but afaIk there is no rule that allows him to play it immediately again.

2) is an interesting question, and can be extended by asking if Leadership actions / abilities in general can destroy a hero (like Ultimate Sacrifice, Psi Disruptor etc.). The rules just say that heroes are immune to splash damage, mind control and Technology card abilities that destroy units, so a strict reading would mean "yes", but I don't know if this is how it's intended. Among others, I asked a similar question here before:

Edit: Er...so I place a marker on a card which I return to my hand when using the "recharge" ability? Seriously?

Thank for the answers:)

No problem! ;)

P.S.: Ignore my last edit, I misread the rules. I would just have removed it, but the time to edit posts is extremely short in these forums.

Just another thing: it kinda feels "wrong" to kill the heroes with such pre-combat-effects (or post-combat-effects), and if something feels wrong, it probably is.
