A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Ok,
so on the forums Palmer answered this already, but I don't think the answer was correct.
Wedge does not say the character gains a force bonus of double their force. Wedge says that the entire unit's force is doubled.
Now according to the 20F rules, this statement has been made:
"Changes in total Force of a unit or army which are not due to changes to the Force of its component cards (for example, because of a Follower being destroyed) do not count as Force bonuses or penalties."
Wedge changes the force of the entire unit, and thus my question stands, can Wedge be Courage Beyond Questioned?

Wedge is absolutely a force bonus, but we can see where the wording lacked clarity and conflicted with 0.6 (which is there to deal with attachment destruction, Reserve, etc). Wedge's Oracle wording has been reverted to its CE printing to give absolute clarity to how it works.
