Rules Q&A
- Q: Shinjo House Guard says, "After the Cavalry Maneuvers Segment, if Shinjo House Guard is the only Follower in this unit and their Personality has the Cavalry trait, assign this unit to attack, or defend."
Will Shinjo House Guard let a unit which has already assigned, reassign?
Also, what keeps Cavalry units from assigning once during Infantry Maneuvers, and once again during Cavalry Maneuvers? Can you only assign units while they are in your Fief, effectively, and once they are assigned successfully, they are no longer in the Fief, hence no longer elligible to be assigned?
