Initial question is this.

What point do you go back to in challange phase when you choose to use Lord Commander of the Kingsguard ?

I came to the conclusion it must be (framework 3 Stealth and Def kneel) Dont like it though.

Brief description of what I mean below.

When a player decides to use Lord Commander of the Kingsguard to redirect againt himself 1 undefended MIL challange.

Where does it restart from in the challange phase, ie ,attackers are still declared but obviosly to use the title card you must wait until initial defender declares no defenders (framework 3) until you can redirect on yourself.

But in order to kneel defenders yourself you have to then go back to framework action 3 again.

In theory we thought maybe it starts from the top at (framework 1) but no it cant !

As any attackers chose against original opponent are now attacking you.

This is actually addressed directly in the FAQ.

The Lord Commander is considered a cancel. It is used in the framework action window for declaring defenders right after (no) defenders are declared. This jumps you back to the player action window between declaring attackers and declaring defenders - giving all players another chance to play Challenge/Any Phase actions before moving back to the assign stealth/declare defenders framework window - against the new defending player.

Great, thanks Ktom. Just had another look in FAQ, checking around the save/cancel responses as well, cant seem to find relevant text.

Page 5, under "Multiplayer Titles."

Thanks Ktom, I always skip the first 2 page section as I thought it was just errata updates... and there it is top of page and plain as day !

I suppose the word clarification is bit of a clue.

Supose that in a 3 player game player A attacks player B and player B defends with one character. If that character's STR is reduced to 0, can player C, who has the Title of Lord Commander, redirect against himself because 0 STR equals unnoposed?

No, because Lord Commander's description in the Core Rules states:

"When an opponent is attacked by another opponent in a MIL challenge and decides not to declare any defenders, you can use this title to change the target of the attack."
