Rules Q&A

• Q: Situation: 1. I declare an attack at province A and assign no units as attackers and my opponent assigns no defenders.
  A: If I may interrupt, I've noticed this misconception crop up a few times and would like to clarify this step of your example. You do NOT declare an attack at a particular province.
  What you do is declare an attack against another player, which creates battlefields at ALL of his provinces. After assignment to ANY of those battlefields in the Maneuvers segments, you (as the attacker) choose which of those battles to resolve first. Each battle is resolved in an order of your choosing until there are no unresolved battles at any battlefields.
  Now, on to your actual question... Brook Cunningham, "Blessings of the Death Lords verification", 5 Mar 2009
• Q: 2. I have 2 straightened units outside of the battle, one of which is a cavalry shugenja with the spell Blessings of the Death Lords attached and straightened and has not been previously used. 3. May I bow the spell to move the other unit to the current battlefield?
  A: No, you may not for the reason you gave. You COULD, however, move in the unit with the Spell on it, which is allowed by the Exception to the Rule of Location (see here). Brook Cunningham, "Blessings of the Death Lords verification", 5 Mar 2009
