Hi,
I am attacking a Ninja Player. If I use the Secret Entrance in a battle where there is no defending unit, can the Ninja Player use his Dark Path of Shadow battle action in this battle?
The cards :
The Secret Entrance Reaction: Play immediately before any actions are performed in a battle action phase. Players without units in this battle may not perform any actions, including those that normally could be played without having units in the battle (such as the Imperial Favor or moving a unit into the battle).
Ninja Stronghold Battle: If the total Chi of an army attacking one of your Provinces is less than 10, send all attackers home, bowed. You can do this while this Stronghold is bowed and in a battle in which you cannot perform actions. + Rulings - Ability can only send home the army in the current battle. [Erratum] - Ability is usable if prohibited by a card effect (e.g., Deadly Ground) or with no units in the battle. [5 May 1999] - Ability is not usable if you do not have a chance to perform Open or Battle actions (e.g., Crushing Attack). - Ability can be canceled (e.g., Storms of War). - Being bowed does not stop a card from adding its Chi to the army. - Ability bows all cards in attacking units, not just Personalities.

Thanks in advance, Bye...............Rémi. [Mod edit: Thread title. -ZF]
