Council of Elrond Rulings Digest #82 wrote:Stay Her Appetite :
The attack is detainment against a Hero controlling character. It seems that it is not possible to beat a detainment attack. So the Ally is automatically discarded. Is that correct ?

*** Correct.
Why rules regulates situation like not receivig MP for defeating a detainment attack if " it is not possible to beat a detainment attack."?
Why rules says: "A detainment attack from a creature is never defeated" but not just "A detainment attack is never defeated" ?
ICE's mistakes or ICE's decisions, that should be respected?
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.
