In all my years of playing, I've seen companions and possessions played during the skirmish phase, minions played from discard piles, conditions played during the regroup phase, but I have never seen, nor learned, of a way to play events out of phase.  I think the card in question refers to weather cards which are playable during the shadow phase

[legolas3333]

ok my deal with it is that events are basically one time actions, so a skirmish event is a one time skirmish action hence you cannot play a skirmish event in the assignment phase because you cannot use a skirmish action in the assignment phase. did i make sense? But for other cards, you can play conditions in the regroup phase thanks to cards like some secret art of flame, you can play minions from hand and discard piles with easterling scout/last days, you can play possessions in the skirmish phase with gamling, you can play companions in the assignment phase with the red arrow, but those are all examples of playing cards, not using an "action" in the wrong phase.

Well, it is said that if a card contradicts the rules, the card wins. So I would say yes, it is playable, unless it said something like: Play a weather condition from your draw deck.

[Kralik]

But sharkey, the point is that there are no examples of, and the rulebook specifically prohibits, playing events out of phase.

Simple errata to: Play a weather condition from your draw deck - while maybe not entirely necessary depending on which side of the fence you sit - would end this discussion.

Even an accepted ruling and a clarification entry in the rule book would be great - same for Crashed Gates. A rules team and up-to-date CRD would be tops!

Bring on a PC !!

[MR. Lurtzy]

There's no need for an errata, because the rule really isn't that confusing.

As the OP, I must agree with Lurtzy's assessment and reference from the CRD.
