Erratum: Reads, “Yoritomo Tadame 5F/3C 0HR 8G 2PH Mantis Clan • Samurai • Naval. Reaction: When paying a Gold cost during the Combat Segment: Produce 3 Gold.” [MRP, Samurai Edition, 25 July 2007] Comprehensive Rules, Samurai Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, May 2009, p. 171

Q: One of our players claimed that Ruthless Advance could be played during a Naval Invasion as the first action, so long as Yoritomo Tadame helps to pay for the action.
A: Note: There is no such thing as a "Naval invasion."
No, for reasons stated. Zen Faulkes, "Yoritomo Tadame and Ruthless Advance", 21 Nov 2007
Q: (Playing EHP) If Tadame is at another battle and the currently resolved battlefield contains a unit that I want to use Tadame's reaction from to pay for an attachment, is that legal in SE.
Also if Tadame is bowed at home and I resolve a battle, can I bring him in paying for his own Unwavering Assault as it is an action that would unbow him.

Reactions are not subject to Location or Presence.

Abilities on bowed cards may not be used. Chris Fuchs, "Yoritomo Tadame", 9 Jul 2007
