So with the loss of the cavalry maneuvers segment, how does Shono work now? Do you just react (ahem pardon me "interupt") with him after infantry assignments?
Thanks!
Shinjo Shono: Personalities lose Duelist while facing Shono in a duel. Reaction: Even if Shono is bowed, after Cavalry Maneuvers, target your Cavalry Personality: Assign him to a battlefield, even if he is bowed. If you are the Defender, straighten him.

Reactions still exist in Legacy play; no need to correct your terminology there.
And with the lack of Cavalry Maneuvers, he'll simply React to the end of Maneuvers.
