When a defender is played into combat via Ready the Warband after an attacker has passed their action, what triggers resolve and can the attacker still use their abilities?

Ruling: When a defender is played into combat after the attacker passes, a new combat starts with the original attacker designated as the attacker. The defender's triggers (abilities, equipment, and Master ability) all resolve normally.

Sequence:

• Attacker passes their action attempting to conquer the position
• Defender plays a unit to the position via Ready the Warband
• New combat begins with the original attacker designated as attacker
• Attacker can target the new defender with their abilities
• Defender's triggers resolve (unit ability, equipment, Master ability)

Nuances:

• The defender does not gain Shield 2 from Fortified Position because they don't control the position ("you" in the card text doesn't refer to them)
