Rules Q&A

• Q: Recon Open: Target a province. During battles at that province's battlefield, your Samurai and Followers there have +1F.
  Reaction: After Cavalry Maneuvers: Raise Gempachi's Force, and the Force of another target Personality in his army, to the Force of a target card opposing them.
  If you have one timing trigger of "after" something ends in a sequence and another timing trigger of "before" the next thing in a sequence begins, the "after" trigger to the first thing in the sequence comes first.

• Q: “During a battle” includes both the Combat and Resolution Segments (added 5 August 2007).
  A: Citation
  The Cavalry Maneuvers Segment comes before the Combat Segment, so Gempachi's "After Cavalry Maneuvers" timing is always before any "During battles," timing such as Yoshike's bonus. Martin Lund, "Matsu Yoshike Interaction", 15 Jan 2008
• Q: Reaction: After a player gives one or more of his Personalities a Force bonus from an action: Bow each of them for whom the Force bonus was greater than or equal to his current Chi.
  A: Each Yoshike only gives a +1F Bonus. Each Yoshike has 2 Chi. The two bonuses as distinct effects and do not merge into a single bonus. Neither +1F Bonus is equal to or greater than 2, so Evenly Matched can not be played. Martin Lund, "Matsu Yoshike Interaction", 15 Jan 2008
