Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Mantis Bushi 2F/0C 2HR 6G -PH 3FV Naval. Battle: Bow Mantis Bushi to bow an opposing Follower or opposing Personality without Followers." [MRP, Web of Lies, 7 December 2004] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 45
Rules Q&A
- Q: Here's a scenario: I have a unit in battle with Spearmen and Mantis Bushi attached. I use the Spearmen for a ranged attack, then the Bushi to bow an opposing personality (for example). The unit is then sent home bowed (either by me or my opponent - I don't know if sent home explicitly means the opponent or if it can be anyone sending the unit home).
If I use Speed of the Waterfall, does that re-straighten even cards I voluntarily bowed for effects?
A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 29 April 2002", 30 Apr 2002
