No! The exact same thing that happens in this web game happens in the real life game. That's the point we're making here. If you lose a province, then whatever action is assigned to that province (if it hasn't occurred already) is lost too, even if you get the province back later in the same turn. In the real-life version, yes, you get the card back but it goes into your *hand* and not onto the board. And this is why you can't perform the action if you lose, and then regain, the province. It's card is not on the board anymore.

So there is no conflict between the board game and this web version. Can anybody else verify this? I've played the real-life version but it has been a while, but as far as I know there is *no* difference in this regard, and the consequences of losing a province are clearly described in the rules.

SBW has implemented this correctly, from my readings of the rules.

apparently then you haven't played much because when a provence is taken, you get that card and what it represents. The same thing would obviously hold true if I get it back. The only difference would be if someone else took it from him because his gold option is already pre-selected provided he selected a gold option, then the rule would apply because that would not have been a chosen action from that player. What makes a big difference here is because it's so late in the game I would not have normally chosen the gold option for the last turn because I would have had enough gold to buy everything I need to help me win. Because of that, the result makes that impossible for me, and thus guarenteing that I have no shot at winning the game. Had I known that before retaking it, I would have gone elsewhere with my attack and maybe get something better. As it was I needed my gold, so that had to be the most viable option for me.

I read the rules and in no way is it clear. But I know the rules in the hard copy and had no reason to suspect that it would be any different here

it's no diference here. everything is correct. if you lost your provence, you lost your action. even, if you win your provence back. it's the same way in the boardgame.
but i'm sure, you won't belive it Wink

We're not going to discuss this any more. The rules are quite clear, both in hard copy and here on SBW. I'm not going to let one person create a controversy that doesn't exist.
