Steve Rogers (epilgrim) This is really for Adam S. to respond to, but I am happy to discuss with anybody with a perspective on these questions. Some of these questions have been answered or discussed, but I wanted to revisit them: 1. How does a Neutral Minor Clan react when any faction enters their space? Do they automatically retreat into the Castle or are their actions chosen by the opposing faction? If a Neutral Minor Clan fights in field combat and are killed; are they permenently eliminated, or are they placed in the attacking faction's regroup box? 2.If the Anti-Oda player plays an Ikko-Ikki Riot card in Kaga before Uesugi enters the game what happens if the Neutral Minors are still there? 3. If the Active player plays Surprise Attack and the opponent responds with Ambush, do both cards cancel each other out, or is Surprise Attack cancelled and the Ambush card takes effect? 4. When "Shogun is Exiled" or "Enryaku-Ji Temple Set Afire!" are played do either trigger die rolls for the Reinforcing Alliances? 5. If a Neutral Clan joins a faction as per 3.2, are they still subject to the -1 modifer as a Neutral when a negotiation is attempted later in the game? 6. Can you describe a situation when a soldier stacked with a Daimyo can be negotiated with? 7. Both Iga Ninja counters are samurai and cannot be negotiated with by either side. Which of the following is correct: They remain neutral until their space is violated? or, Unlike all of the other Neutral Clans, the Iga NEVER join a faction and are permanently eliminated when their space is taken by a faction? Adam Starkweather (adamant) >1. How does a Neutral Minor Clan react when any faction enters their space? Do they automatically retreat into the Castle or are their actions chosen by the opposing faction? The Opposing faction chooses. If a Neutral Minor Clan fights in field combat and are killed; are they permenently eliminated, or are they placed in the attacking faction's regroup box? If the minor clan's space is taken, they go to the capturing clan's regroup box. >2.If the Anti-Oda player plays an Ikko-Ikki Riot card in Kaga before Uesugi enters the game what happens if the Neutral Minors are still there? Minor neutrals are replaced by Ikko-Ikki. >3. If the Active player plays Surprise Attack and the opponent responds with Ambush, do both cards cancel each other out, or is Surprise Attack cancelled and the Ambush card takes effect? The latter >4. When "Shogun is Exiled" or "Enryaku-Ji Temple Set Afire!" are played do either trigger die rolls for the Reinforcing Alliances? I don't have the game handy but if the card doesn't say they trigger die rolls, they don't. >5. If a Neutral Clan joins a faction as per 3.2, are they still subject to the -1 modifer as a Neutral when a negotiation is attempted later in the game? Again, no game handy but if 3.2 is joining a faction by some means, they are no longer neutral and not subject to the -1. >6. Can you describe a situation when a soldier stacked with a Daimyo can be negotiated with? Nope. Can't happen. Mathematically impossible >7. Both Iga Ninja counters are samurai and cannot be negotiated with by either side. Which of the following is correct: They remain neutral until their space is violated? or, >Unlike all of the other Neutral Clans, the Iga NEVER join a faction and are permanently eliminated when their space is taken by a faction? The latter
