Rules Q&A
- Q: The whole deal with In Search and conditional force bonuses relies on the condition *ceasing* to be met, and then being met again. Take Takuan. He gives a force bonus to all TA personalities in his army. If he's attacking, and In Search is played, his bonus is *still there*, but reduced to zero. Now, if he uses a SupTac to move to a different province, the 0f bonus he was giving everyone goes from 0 to nonexistant. Now, if he uses *another* SupTac to move back in, his bonus gets reapplied at full strength, due to the fact that it ceased existing for a second, and then got reapplied. That is *not* the case with an attached Sword.
What is the definition, then, of reapplied?
A: The bonus completely ceases to exist because a condition for the bonus is not met. Only conditional bonus (i.e., those using a word like "if" or "when") can be reapplied. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 1 August 2001", 2 Aug 2001
