Answer

Ruling: Yes, you can score on your opponent's turn. If you use Ride the Wind during a showdown to move a unit to a different open battlefield, and your opponent cannot kill or move that unit, you will score that battlefield during their turn.

Sequence:

  • Use Ride the Wind during a showdown on your opponent's turn
  • Move your unit to a different open battlefield
  • After the first showdown ends, the new battlefield's showdown immediately begins
  • If opponent cannot contest, you score the battlefield on their turn

Nuances:

  • You can only score each battlefield once per turn
  • If you leave a battlefield and return to the same one in the same turn, you can score it again
  • This requires two separate showdowns due to how control works
  • The unit moved in this way does not trigger assault mechanics when moving to an open battlefield (no attackers present)
  • If moving to a controlled battlefield, your unit becomes the attacker
  • If both players move units to an open battlefield, the first player to arrive is still the attacker in the following combat
