Rules Q&A
- Q: Iuchi Plains region gives a -1F penalty to all infantry personality followers and personalities. The rulebook says penalties can only drop a personality to 0, but the penalty applies if a bonus brings the person above 0. I just want to make sure on the following. I attack a province that has iuchi plains on it. I attack with an Ikoma Gunjin (tactician, printed force 3) who has attached a Elite Medium Infantry (printed force 3). If I am understanding this correctly, then Gunjin stays at 0 force, but he really has -1 due to the penalty. So if I burn a card with focus 4 for his tactician trait, then his force is only 3, the -1 applies there. So the force of the unit is 3+2=5. I just want to make sure that is correct.
A: Absolutely correct. Jeff Alexander, "post for 16 December 2001", 16 Dec 2001
