Rules Question [Answered]

[Easy n Dirty]

I've seen what seems to be conflicting info on this one, any help is appreciated - in a Terminator game, one of the players has been eliminated due to deadbeating, while holding 4 cards. If I eliminate him now, I know I get points for terminating him, but will I also get his cards?

yes

In a terminator game you get points for the players that you eliminate. When players are auto-kicked in a terminator game their armies remain on the map, and you can still get points (and cards) from them if you eliminate the deadbeat before the game is over.

Edited: messed up the Quote

Are you saying Yes based on experience or based on the rule you cited? I only ask because of this conflicting info from the FAQ:

23. What happens to the armies and cards of a player that is kicked out for missing too many turns?
After someone is kicked out of a game for missing too many turns their armies become neutral and their cards are returned to the deck.

If I am not mistaken, the rule that you cited only applies to standard games.. thats why the rule that I cited says "In terminator games" at the start

For Terminator, you get deadbeat's cards and points. The quote you gave Easy is one from before that rule was in place and needs to be updated. Thank you for pointing that out.
