Deadly pursuit and Leylines.

[Maniacal_cackle]

Just to check, you have to resolve Deadly Pursuit before applying the claim for Leylines, right? So no claiming a marker and then using deadly pursuit to start the next turn 4 inches away from the marker?

Deadly pursuit is "During the end phase" which appears to be step A of the end phase.

Leylines appears to indicate a timing that might be step B of the end phase (scoring points)

• Leylines doesn't match the step A language used on page 35 of the digital rules ('until' or 'during' the end phase).
• When you claim it, you then immediately score points, so that implies it is step B.

So am I correct in thinking that Leylines is step B and Deadly Pursuit is step A (and therefore you can't use simultaneous effects to be cheeky with sequencing)?

You are correct. Deadly Pursuit allows you to push into b2b with the marker but it doesn't allow you to push away and still score.

yes, Deadly Pursuit is and effect, and so is resolved in step A of the end step. Scoring VPs is Step B of the end step, so you don't score any points at the end of turn  until you are in Step B.

Those steps are almost certainly in there to answer/avoid this sort of question

Thanks. I just wasn't sure if the claiming was an 'effect' (Step A) or scoring (Step B), but it seems pretty clearly intended step B.
