Rules Q&A
- Q: 2) If someone attacks and you defend a province that he is not attacking (or say there is no defense at a province you attack), then at the end of that battle you have theoretically "won" (as you have more force than their 0) and therefore can play cards like Prepared for the Enemy or use abilities like Ikoma Fudai's. (is that legal? We assumed yes.) But at the same time since no army is destroyed you can not play things like Famous Poet...
A: There is no winner or loser in a battle with only one army during resolution. [p. 58] Cards like Prepared for the Enemy aren't legal. Jeff Alexander, "post for 19 August 2002", 20 Aug 2002 - Q: Does destroying a province with a garrison count as destroying an army for the purposes of Prepared For the Enemy, Ikoma Sume, etc?
A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 28 April 2002", 28 Apr 2002 - Q: When a card refers to "your army" (e.g. Prepared for the Enemy, Stand Against the Waves) does it mean "the entire attacking or defending army (allies included) of which you are part," or does it mean "just your units in the army of which you are part?"
A: The former. [AOF rulebook p. 70] Jeff Alexander, "post for 4 February 2002", 5 Feb 2002
