A player, 25 April 2013
Hi,
I could not find a topic about this and i just wanted to clarity:
Request Authorization
Reaction: Before another player's Battle action resolves, target a Personality: Negate his movement to the current battlefield from the action's effects.
Improper Papers
Reaction: Before an action resolves, target a Personality: Negate his movement from the action's effects.
Would these cards prevent me from bringing Akodo Ashiko into battle and/or a personality using Requesting Reinforments?
Akodo Ashiko
Battle: If Ashiko is face-up in one of your provinces: Bring her into play at the current battlefield, paying all costs, and reducing her Gold cost by 2 if there are more units on the enemy side than on your side.
Requesting Reinforments
Battle: Bow your performing Scout and target a face-up Scout Personality in your province: Bring the target into play at the current battlefield, paying all costs. If you have Reconnaissance, you may take an additional Battle action.
Thank you!

Movement = "To change a unit’s location between battlefields or between home and battlefield (in either direction) due to an effect that specifies that it “moves” the unit."
Entering play from a province =/= movement, therefore it wouldn't be prohibited per your example.
