Rules Q&A
- Q: If my army (1 samurai and 1 shugenja) protect 1 of my provinces. My oponent attack another one and resolves that battle. I do nothing in that province, so there´s 3 others provinces to resolve the battle, right? when I resolve the province that I already block with my army, i play Strategic Ground, what happen? do I have won this battle?
A: "If, during the Battle Resolution Segment, one side has no units left in the battle, the battle is not a "victory" over an opposing army. This is even true is the defending army is the one absent and the Attacker has sufficient Force to destroy the Province. There is no winner or loser, and the player with units gains no victory bonuses." (Diamond Edition Rulebook, pg 84) Martin Lund, "Rules for 5 April 2004", 7 Apr 2004
