From one of the English-language rules translations:
"As soon as a player captures a boundary stone, he lays the corresponding boundary-stone card in front of him on his side of the respective detachments. No more cards may be played at this boundary stone."
I figure this rule was created in response to either of two situations:
1. (Using tactics cards) A player might play something like the mud tactics card to an already-decided flag and increase the size to four so it might be re-taken.
2. By capturing a flag, you prevent the opponent from playing his "garbage cards" to that flag, meaning he now has to instead pass to prevent ruining his potentially good flags with bad cards.
So I wonder if the rule was in the original Schotten-Totten, the one which didn't include tactics cards, and that will help me figure out the true intent of the rule.
