I am a bit confused about this being a technical errata as it appears that the missing phrase "After each time" results in it being functional errata as well.
Does the removal of "After each time" language mean that this action now only triggers once, or did I misunderstand the original wording of this card?
Thanks in advance.
A: As Bryan Reese said, this is merely technical errata such that the card works as intended. The straightening effect occurs after each and all instances given by the card's text at that Province's Battlefield for that turn. Dan Jacobson, "Military Assessment Technical Errata", 9 Mar 2010
