Unfamiliar ground and Chagatai's Armour

L5R CCG Rules board, 22 November 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.

Lets say that there is an enemy 5F personality equipped with Chagatai's Armour and I play Unfamiliar Ground. I understand that I can bow both cards. Can I choose the order in which cards are bowed or they are bowed simultanously? Does it matter if I am the attacker or the defender?

They will all bow together when they bow, when they bow.
