When I use Charm to pull an enemy unit into a base I control, and combat results in a tie, which unit recalls - mine or theirs? Who is the attacker/defender?

Ruling: The opponent's unit is the attacker and recalls after a tied combat. You are the defender because you control the battlefield, and the opponent's unit applied the Contested status by moving into your controlled base.

Sequence:

• You control the battlefield with your unit
• You use Charm to pull opponent's unit into the base
• Opponent's unit applies Contested status to the battlefield
• Combat occurs with opponent as attacker, you as defender
• On a tie, the attacker (opponent's unit) recalls

Nuances:

• The player who uses Charm does not become the attacker just because they initiated the combat
• The unit that applies Contested status determines who is the attacker, not the player who caused the unit to move
• If the attacking unit had won, they would gain a conquer point since they're attacking into a controlled battlefield
• Older rule versions used different wording that was easier to misinterpret, but the mechanic worked the same way
