The banquet continues – the opponent attacked, the player fought him, spent all his mana and a significant portion of his troops, and in the end, the opponent paid him off.

What should the player do next? He can't go forward because of the rule about the shifted guards. He can't go back to the titans because he has nothing left. Should he just stand around?

By attacking the troglodytes on someone else's territory, he has already broken the rules. So why be shy now?

I'm in favor of breaking through both guards; it seems more logical. In any case, we need to decide to avoid misunderstandings. The other day, I was playing 8mm6, looking for an opponent, and I jumped into a Monolith that was broken through on one side and had shifted gremlins on the other. I have no idea what rules he's playing by, and I can't just ask. So I just went through. I think that's not allowed; it's a violation.
