Hi, I´ve playing this game 2 years ago with a couple of friends, we understand triggering the splash damage (p.p 39 core rule book, and this link http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/369621/queenmutalisk-in-same...)
The problem is with the text in the core rules, p.p 40 :
"Resolving splash damage: splash damage is resolved during the "Resolve Splash Damage" step of the combat sequence. For each of a player´s splash damage card is triggered, his opponent is forced to choose and destroy one of the enemy units that survived the battle´s skirmishes. The attacker must choose and destroy units affected by splash damage first, followed by the defender."
The specific problem is in bold text, What really that means? Who destroy and what destroy? enemy units?, his own units?,
Thanks in advance for any help.

Let's say the "Player A" has a triggered splash damage card, so the opponent is the "Player B". In this case "Player B" will destroy his own units (among those which survived the skirmishes). The "player B" will destroy units as many as the number of splash damage triggered in whole battle.

I don't have the rule book handy, but it sounds like your opponent destroys any units destroyed by the splash damage, even though the next line seems to contradict it.

Yep,
If your unit has the Splash Damage ability, and this unit succesfully kills the unit it is fighting, then the Splash Damage ability is triggered. For every Splash Damage ability triggered, your opponent must sacrifice one of his own surviving units. Your opponent chooses which unit to sacrifice.
the same is true vica-versa:
If the opponents unit has the Splash Damage ability, and this unit succesfully kills your unit, then the Splash Damage ability is triggered. For every Splash Damage ability triggered, you must sacrifice one of your own surviving units. You may chooses which unit to sacrifice.

There is no contradiction is is just the FFG style of confusing a simple concept with bad wording.
The part 'for each' can mean one or the other player or both. The last part is only for when both need to choose.
