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.
My opponent attacks with Personality X. I defend with Personality Y. Little Personality Y dishonors to pay the cost of Game of Sincerity, targeting my opponent's Personality X. Neither of us have remaining actions so we both pass.
Are we considered to each have:
A) an army with zero force, causing the battle to be a tie;
or
B) no army as nothing is contributing force to the resolution on either side causing the battle to end with no destruction?
Are we considered to each have an army with zero force, or no army?
Both of you have an army with zero Force during resolution, causing the battle to be a tie.
X and Y do not contribute Force in this battle's resolution but they are still units on opposed sides at this battlefield, they just don't add their Force to their respective army's Force total.
Glossary, Army: "One or more units in a given side at a battlefield."
