Rules Q&A
- Q: This was not adressed in the Archive:
Ikoma Yosei 2F 3C 8HR 7G 3PH Lion Clan Strategist Reaction: Immediately before playing a Terrain, if Yosei is in your fief, bow him. Play the Terrain as if Yosei were in the current battle. Flavor: "If I will not fight beside my kin, who will fight for me?"
I am invited to ally by both players. I send no units to either side. During the Battle Action Segment, I take the above Reaction to enable me to play the Terrain. Am I playing it as an attacking Ally or a defending Ally?
A: If you've done nothing so far this attack that commits you to one side or the other, you can play it either way. You get to pick. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 7-9 March 2001", 18 Mar 2001
