Advance Warning + Blanketed Forest

L5R CCG Rules board, 11 February 2014

Advance Warning Battle: Move your target Personality home. If he is a Scout, straighten his unit. Raise or lower the current province's strength by his Force.

Blanketed Forest Keywords: Forest • Terrain • Winter The snow blocks travel. Personalities cannot move to or from this battlefield. Battle: Destroy a Terrain (if able). Put this Terrain into play.

Question: if the target the advance warning is any bowed scout personality and previously was played the terrain Blanketed Forest. What will happen? I think the scout not will move, but the unit will straighten and can be raise or lower the current province's strength by the scout force. Is correct?

best regards,

Your assumption is correct: the movement is negated by Blanketed Forest but the remaining effects still occur because effects are independent and the failure of one of them doesn't stop the others from happening (unless they're explicitly linked, which is not the case).
