Sachika's Force Bonus (L5R rules board)

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.

Hello, Is Sachika's force bonus from her trait covered by this ruling from the Acc Rulings?

Bonuses from traits that switch on and off (e.g., "while attacking") are reapplied every time the relevent condition is met, if there is any intervening point when the bonus switches off and is not longer given. E.g., during an Ambush, a defending Hida Tampako's defensive bonus is reduced to 0; if he later defends during a normal Attack Phase on the same turn, he gains a new +2F defensive bonus. [VRD, email, 12 January 2001; JA, email, 17 January 2001]

Her wording does not seem to contain any "switch on and off" phrase in the way other cards do (e.g. Hiruma Todori (exp)).

For reference Sachika's wording:

Sachika Unaligned • Budoka • Ashigaru You may have up to 6 copies of Sachika in your deck. Sachika has a Force bonus equal to the number of Ashigaru in her army.

and Hiruma Todori (exp)'s wording:

Hiruma Todori (Experienced) Crab Clan Samurai • Hiruma Family Daimyo • Scout • Hero • Yu 3 • Experienced • Unique Todori has +2F while attacking a player who declared an attack against you since your last turn ended.

Sachika's force bonus is continuous (even if often zero).
