Rulings
- Cannot prevent a ninja unit from assigning to battle, because that's not an action. [FAQ] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 111
- Can not be used against Mamoru if he tries to cancel one of your actions. Mamoru's ability is technically not targetted -- since there is, at most, one Ninja/Kolat action being performed at any time, Mamoru's controller's only choice is whether to use him, not what to use him on.

Those Dastardly Ninja's
Mamoru exp What does it take to set off this guys ability? Can I use it against someone who is being assign to attack in the Infantry/Cavalry Phase?
A: Nope. That's not an action. Mamoru also can't be used against Reactions that give a player an entire additional assignment or maneuvers segment, like the Dark Oracle of Water. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 18 March 2001", 24 Mar 2001
