Hey guys,
Quick question about Naval and Brothers in Battle (used search, didn't find it).
Brothers in Battle Battle/Open: Choose two or three of your performing Samurai: Each of them has +1F and the ability "Battle: Ranged 4 Attack" while in an army with one or more of the others.
Naval Invasion Reaction: After engaging, if you have more Naval personalities than your opponent, choose your performing attacking Naval Personality: you have the first opportunity to take a Battle action, which he must perform.
If you only have one Naval personality (say Daigotsu Hotako XP3, as is the most likely scenario in a non-Mantis game) and 2 other non-Naval Personalities, can you use Brothers in Battle and choose one Naval and 2 non-Naval performers as your Naval action?
