## Rules questions

### Does the 6-unit limit in an area include leaders or deployment tokens?

Leaders are excluded from the 6-unit limit, but deployment tokens do count toward that limit (Rulebook p.13).

### Can I split a stack of legions and move parts of it into different areas with one movement?

Yes — the basic movement rules allow you to split legions and move them into multiple adjacent areas according to the splitting and multi-area movement rules (Rulebook p.22).

### When a sandworm appears, does it only remove Harvesters or can it destroy my troops and vehicles too?

Sandworms remove Harvesters and can also affect units and vehicles in the attacked area; Wormsign placement, carryall rescues, and sandworm movement/attack resolution are covered in the desert hazard and sandworm rules (Rulebook pp.20, 31).

### When and how can I claim or use Prescience cards and how do Prescience markers work?

Prescience markers and cards are placed and claimed according to the claim timing and requirements shown in the Prescience section — you place markers, may claim a Prescience card when you meet its requirements at the specified timing, and follow the discard/reshuffle rules as described (Rulebook pp.28–29).

### When do players harvest spice — is it when I move through an area or at a specific time?

Spice is collected during Phase 4 (Spice Harvesting); you do not harvest as part of movement — see the Phase 4 harvest rules and special Harkonnen harvesting rules (Rulebook pp.15, 21, 16).
