Do Followers on bowed Personalities contribute Force?

L5R CCG Rules board, 7 February 2010

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.

Just want to confirm:

In Celestial, do unbowed Followers on bowed Personalities contribute Force for battle resolution?

Just for the benefit of L5R trivia:

When did this change? At one point, didn't an unit led by a bowed Personality contribute no Force?

Dan Jacobson (rules official), 7 February 2010

An army's total Force is the sum of the modified Force of all unbowed Personalities and Followers in the army.

This rule changed as of Samurai Edition.
