I think the main reason this comes up so often is that it's one of the
most
stupid, idiotic and illogical rulings in all of SRTCG. What good is
having
a fraggin' bodyguard if he can't protect you in runner-to-runner combat?
Certainly, the Bulldog Van is no longer protecting the Wanted Runner or
Knuckles, but anyone with "Guard" should ALWAYS be able to turn to enter
Runner-to-Runner combat with his ability. I mean, isn't that kind of
what
a bodyguard is supposed to do, not LET you get caught 1-on-1?

Anybody else think this ought to be a meta-rule, maybe added to the
"Guard"
trait entry in the new rulebook? IMHO, it needs to.
