Border Ambush

L5R CCG Rules board, 26 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.

Border Ambush

Battle: Dishonor your target Personality: Give each of your Personalities and Followers at the current battlefield +1F, or +2F if they are opposed.

I play a border ambush while I am opposed to get the +2F bonus. I then move the one defender home and become unopposed. Do I keep the +2F bonus because I was opposed when border ambush was resolved or is this an effect that keeps checking to see if I am opposed and I drop to a +1F bonus?

I tried searching for border ambush in this forum and got 2 references to naval actions which did not help. Thanks again in advance.

Do I keep the +2F bonus[?]

Yes. If the Force bonus was supposed to decrease when your army becomes unopposed, it would be written explicitly with a condition like "while they are opposed."
