Rules Q&A
- Q: Hiruma Tama Crab Clan • Samurai • Scout Recon Open: Bow Tama: Target a province. During battles at that province's battlefield this turn, after each time a Battle action from a card in play resolves, bow that card.
Tactical, Tactician: An action with the Tactical keyword can only be performed by a Tactician Personality (see Perform). A Tactical action that is not performed by any card can only be taken if one of your unbowed Tacticians is at the current battlefield. Each Tactician can only perform one Tactical action per turn. All players can take the following Tactical Battle Action. Keep in mind that, due to the above rule, it can only target each individual Tactician once per turn: Tactical Battle: Any number of times per turn, discard a card and target one of your Tactician Personalities: Give him a Force bonus equal to the Focus Value of the discarded card.
When a tactician uses the keyword tactician to either take the focus force boost or play a tactical battle action card does it trigger Tama's delayed effect?
A: No. The default Tactical force bonus action is not on a card in play, it is a player action. Chris Fuchs, "Hiruma Tama versus Tactician", 26 Oct 2007 - Q: I use (Hiruma) Tama's ability on a province. I then use another unbowed scout to move into the battle at the province Tama targeted.
A: I'm assumining you mean it moves using the ability on Ideal Conditions. Zen Faulkes, "Ideal Conditions & Hiruma Tama", 11 Sep 2007 - Q: Does the moved scout end up bowed by tamas effect or straightened still from ideal conditions straightening effect?
A: Bowed. You do all of the effects from the action granted by Ideal Conditions. The last one is to straighten. The action has now resolved, triggering Hiruma Tama's delayed effect, bowing it. Zen Faulkes, "Ideal Conditions & Hiruma Tama", 11 Sep 2007
