If I use Matsu Yoshike's ability to recon a province then attack the province with both Yoshike and Daidoji Gempachi, which force altering ability occurs first?
and
I have 2 Matsu Yoshikes and I use both of their recon abilities on one province. After, I attack with both Yoshikes. Will Evenly Matched be legal to play to bow both of my Yoshikes after they assign to the reconed province?
Recon Open: Target a province. During battles at that province's battlefield, your Samurai and Followers there have +1F.
Reaction: After Cavalry Maneuvers: Raise Gempachi's Force, and the Force of another target Personality in his army, to the Force of a target card opposing them.
If you have one timing trigger of "after" something ends in a sequence and another timing trigger of "before" the next thing in a sequence begins, the "after" trigger to the first thing in the sequence comes first.

“During a battle” includes both the Combat and Resolution Segments (added 5 August 2007).

The Cavalry Maneuvers Segment comes before the Combat Segment, so Gempachi's "After Cavalry Maneuvers" timing is always before any "During battles," timing such as Yoshike's bonus.
Reaction: After a player gives one or more of his Personalities a Force bonus from an action: Bow each of them for whom the Force bonus was greater than or equal to his current Chi.
Each Yoshike only gives a +1F Bonus. Each Yoshike has 2 Chi. The two bonuses as distinct effects and do not merge into a single bonus. Neither +1F Bonus is equal to or greater than 2, so Evenly Matched can not be played.
