Hi I just recently started to play L5R again and I had a question about a cards that target tacticians.
For Example: Unexpected Reinforcements Tactical Battle: Target one of your Tacticians: Create three 1F/1C/1PH Samurai Personalities with your Clan alignment at the current battlefield. Remove them from the game after the battle ends.
When I use this card since it targets my tactician's trait am I still able to use the Tactician battle action of adding focus to force from one of my fate cards in my hand?
So the battlefield now has 3 1f/1c/1ph samurais... and the defender passes his battle action am I able to now discard a fate card and use the tactician battle action from the same personality that performed the Unexpected Reinforcements?

Each Tactician can only perform one Tactical action per turn.
If you only have one tactician, you can do either the Unexpected Reinforcements, or the Tactical force bonus, but not both.
