If I have 7 points and my opponent has 6, I control Battlefield A with a big unit while Battlefield B is free. My opponent conquers Battlefield B (scoring to 7), then moves into Battlefield A. If I use Ride the Wind to move my big unit from Battlefield A to Battlefield B before losing the showdown, do I lose or does my Ride the Wind showdown resolve first?

Ruling: Your opponent wins. They score their 7th point from conquering Battlefield B, then when you move from Battlefield A (triggering Ride the Wind), the showdown on Battlefield A goes to cleanup and results in a conquer, giving them their 8th point before your Ride the Wind showdown on Battlefield B even starts.

Sequence:

• Opponent conquers Battlefield B and scores to 7 points
• Opponent moves into Battlefield A, initiating showdown
• You use Ride the Wind to move from Battlefield A to Battlefield B
• Showdown on Battlefield A goes to cleanup (since you left)
• Opponent conquers Battlefield A and scores their 8th point
• Your showdown on Battlefield B does not begin because opponent has already won

Nuances:

• The opponent does not need to control both battlefields simultaneously to win, they just need to score them both in the same turn
