Rules Q&A

• Q: I assing a scout to a province without the recon of hidden falls. Then I assign him again to a recon battlefield using the stronghold. Then if I use Back to the Front can I move to the first battlefield (the one without recon)?
  A: The situation you propose cannot happen, as you can only assign Units in your home, and as soon as you assign them, they are now at that battlefield and cannot be "re-assigned" during the additional Scout only Infantry Manuevers segment Hidden Falls Dojo creates.

• Q: Hi
  Have a little problem with understanding rules.
  In some cards type - some actions it is sad ex. move enemy unit, this moveing can't be negeted. ex. Shinjo Kinto http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=6906,#hashid=fa24140f53cb6d27fa12c892cef37bcd,#cardcount=0 does this meen that if I have reconneissans the enemy player can't move him back to this batelfild by card's like back to the front http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=662,#hashid=bb543407f3d6f9e894a273a9258abf45,#cardcount=0 or it just mean that the oposit player cannot make reactions that neget movment off his units? Or like with Hida defenders that for ex. they wer on batelfied, then they wer send back home by some battle action, then I perform some action that bows my enemys personality, Can I use the hida,s reaction rule even if they were send home?
  And one more Q; does the personality with keyword SCOUT and follower who doesn't have the Scout keyword stil counts as e scout unit or is this the same like with cavalry? I need this for purpose for Hidden Falls Dojo recon action - can I move Scout personality with follower that doesn't have this scout keyword?
  Best Regards
  A: Shinjo Kinto's "this movement will not be negated" means that the sending home cannot be negated, such as by a card like Know No Fear. The Personality can move back into the battle. To prevent him from moving back in, it would need to be worded like Nijugun or Unnatural Flood.
  Hida Defenders only cares if the Defenders opposed the Personality at the current battle, not if they're currently opposing the Personality. Therefore you may take their reaction in the situation you described.
  Hidden Falls Dojo only cares about your Scout Personalities. Their followers' traits are irrelevant; you may assign the units as long as the Personalities are scouts. Please note that Hidden Falls Dojo assigns Personalities; it does not move them. Jon Palmer, "Moving", 9 Apr 2012
• Q: [EE] HIDDEN FALLS DOJO (stronghold): Scout personalities with non-scout followers attached can benefit from stronghold´s recon open action?
  A: Followers, or a lack thereof, or their keywords, aren't relevant to the effects of the Stronghold. So, the answer is "yes". Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 27 Jun 2025
