Just a few questions about this card.

Let's say that I have three 3f personalities at a battlefield(bringing me to 9f) vs 9ps and a opposing 0f personality.

If the enemy and I pass: A)I will destroy the Personality and bounce off the province gaining a 1f/1chi token for each personality. B)I will destroy the Personality gaining a 1f/1chi token for each personality, then I will crush the province as now I have 12f.

Next set of questions, Let's say that I have three 3f personalities at a battlefield(bringing me to 9f) vs 7ps and a opposing 0f personality. If the enemy and I pass: A)I will destroy the Personality gaining a 1f/1chi token for each personality. then I will crush the province gaining another 1f/1chi token for each personality.(total 2 tokens per personality) B)I will destroy the Personality and then I will crush the province gaining a single 1f/1chi token for each personality.(total 1 token per personality)

Relevant text: Battle: If you destroy the enemy army or Province in this battle's resolution, give a +1F/+1C token to each of your Personalities in your army (at battle resolution).

Relevant text: Battle: If you destroy the enemy army or Province in this battle's resolution, give a +1F/+1C token to each of your Personalities in your army (at battle resolution).

In the first scenario, 9F vs 0F & PS9, you destroy the opposing army and get three +1F/+1C tokens, but do not destroy the province. See Battles, C. Resolution Segment, 1. Determine Outcome: The calculation and comparison of army force is made only once. Any changes to army total Force after this point (e.g., units on the winning side being destroyed due to Reactions) do not alter the outcome.

In the second scenario, 9F vs 0F & PS7, the delayed effect triggers once, in battle resolution.
