- Erratum: Reads, "Overwhelmed 0G 2 FV Battle: Target and destroy an unbowed Personality you control at the current battlefield with the highest Force (including ties) of all Personalities you control there: The enemy leader may target and move home exactly 2 units in his current army. If he does not or cannot, he targets and destroys a Personality in his army with the highest Force (including ties) of all Personalities in his army." [MRP, Khan's Defiance, 22 January 2007] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 28
- Q: If I play Overwhelmed and my opponent only has one unit in his army, is he forced to destroy it? A: Yes. The player targeted by Overwhelmed must choose an alternative that he can completely satisfy, if one exists. Failing that, he must choose one he can partially satisfy, if possible. Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, May 21, 2003, p. 10
- Q: Can I play Solitary Engagement or Overwhelmed by using one of my own bowed Personalities? A: No. You cannot target your own bowed cards with your actions. But -- and this is important! -- in the case of Overwhelmed, your opponent can target his bowed Personalities to either send two home or destroy one because the Overwhelmed was not his action. It was yours. Also, Overwhelmed cares about the Personality's own Force, so bowed Personalities do not automatically count as 0F. If all your highest-Force Personalities are bowed (or are untargetable by you for any other reason, such as an earlier A Test of Courage), you cannot play Overwhelmed.
