True - if you hold one or more SCs outside your home centres, but at some point your remaining units are displaced with no retreat option and so have to disband. You cannot build again because you have no home SCs, but assuming nobody goes and captures your remaining SC(s), you're not eliminated.
By the actual rulebook, a player in this situation cannot participate in a draw. Only players "with pieces on the board" can do so and they "share equally" in a draw. Most platforms have house rules which modify this.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 5:53 pmTrue - if you hold one or more SCs outside your home centres, but at some point your remaining units are displaced with no retreat option and so have to disband.
