Fall Back and straightening location

L5R CCG Rules board, 25 October 2009

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.

Fall Back: Battle: Move your target Personality home. If he moved, straighten his unit, and you may straighten one of your other units.

Can the italicized text straighten a unit at:

1) The current battlefield?

2) Your home?

3) A different battlefield?

Fall Back: Battle: Move your target Personality home. If he moved, straighten his unit, and you may straighten one of your other units.

Can the italicized text straighten a unit at:

1) The current battlefield?

2) Your home?

3) A different battlefield?

Yes to all three.

Notice, the straightening effect doesn't target, so it can't run afoul of the Rule of Location.
