  • The player with Magen Defense Grid chooses which ground force the hit is assigned to.
  • The chosen ground force may cancel the hit by using its SUSTAIN DAMAGE ability, if present. A different ground force with the SUSTAIN DAMAGE ability cannot do so.
  • If the last of a player’s ground forces in a ground combat are destroyed by the effect of Magen Defense Grid, that player loses the combat immediately. They will be unable to use any “start of combat” abilities.
  • Magen Defense Grid will place infantry regardless of who activates the system.
  • If a player has multiple structures in the system, one infantry is placed with each.
  • The infantry must be placed on the same planet as the structure.
