Some Lion related rules questions

Have a SE Lion deck built, and am going to get some proper testing in this week but have the 2 following questions:

Kitsu Katsuko (http://www.thelionclan.com/swiftsword/v ... php?t=1269)

Her ability reads:

Battle/Open: Target a Lion Clan Personality in a discard pile and one of your Samurai. The Lion becomes honorably dead. The Samurai either gains the Tactician keyword or +3F.

Questions:

1. I assume the Tactician trait only lasts until end of turn under SE rules?

2. More importantly, can I only target a discarded Lion Clan Personality, or can I target a dead one. My reading of the SE rules leads me to believe that as long as I have ANY Lion in my discard pile, either dead or discard, that I can use her ability - is this correct?

Akodo Hachigoro ( http://www.thelionclan.com/swiftsword/v ... .php?t=297)

Ability:

Reaction: If you are attacking, after armies at Hachigoro's battlefield engage: You may target one of the Defenders units, move it to Hachigoro's battlefield, and straighten it. You have the first oppurtunity to take a battle action or pass this battle.

Qustion: Under SE, all effects resolve simultaneously - so I can choosenot to move someone in, and still get to "Sneak", right?

Lastly (and thanks to anyone who helps me out here by the way), some quick clarifications?

1. Tactician is now once per turn (like everything else), not once per battle?

2. Tactical Maneuvers is being reprinted - has anyone been using it in testing? I am currently testing it in such a way that all units rearranged must end up being opposed. Its current wording would make it the best evasion card in SE, and since SE is all about actually getting into Battles, I doubt it would stay that way - what way are others playing it?

Kitsu Katsuko: I assume the Tactician trait only lasts until end of turn under SE rules?

Comprehensive Rules, Effects: "Ongoing effects last until the end of the turn in which they occur unless otherwise indicated."

(C)an I only target a discarded Lion Clan Personality, or can I target a dead one(?)

Either.

Akodo Hachigoro: Under SE, all effects resolve simultaneously

Incorrect. Effects: "Effects occur in the order they are written."

so I can choose not to move someone in, and still get to "Sneak", right?

Mod reminder: Search before posting. Thanks.
