Rules Q&A

• Q: Junghar Encampment allows you to take an action "as if the Defender's army had at least one unit", but it doesn't say that you can take it as if you CONTROL that unit, for purposes of the rule of presence.
  A: As they say in English pantos:
  "Oh no it doesn't..."

• Q: My opponent attacks me, assinging 2 units to attack province A. I defend with a personality, and another player allies with me and sends a personality to defend as well. My personality gets destroyed by an action. So, all that's left at the battlefield is my opponent's attacking personalities, and my ally's defending personality. In this situation, I wouldn't be able to play Final Duty, because I don't satisfy the rule of presence, correct?
  A: Looks right. Zen Faulkes, "Junghar Encampment + Rule of Presence?", 31 Aug 2010
• Q: Junghar Encampment: Am I considered to have an "army with lower total force" ?
  A: Yes.

  "If a side at a battlefield has no units, its total army Force is treated as an absent stat." Zen Faulkes, "Junghar Encampment and Final Duty", 25 Aug 2010
• Q: My opponent attack a province with a unit "A" and fight a battle here first. I have a unit "B" in an adjacent battlefield and none in the current. My Junghar Encampment give me the opportunity to play a battle action as if I have at least one unit for it. I take it (by exemple a Final Duty) and my opponent use the reaction of a Determined Force. What happens now? The effects will be negated or not?
  A: Yes, the effects will be negated.
  The Junghar Encampment allows you to play YOUR action as if there is a Defending unit, for such things as presence, or opposition, but it has no effect on conditions/requirements/triggers of any other action, such as another player's Determined Force.
