Hi all. Just a quick question, I was playing L5R online ( I forget the sites name gijoku maybe) and an interesting situation came up. My stronghold was attacked via military and the game allowed me to use raise the alarm on any province. Is this a bug in their build or am I missing something about the rules surrounding strongholds being attached to any province in an attack? An official reply would help sort this Thanks

Its a bug, and I think they know about it. Raise the Alarm only works on the province being attacked. Since the Stronghold province does not have a dynasty card, it won't work there.

On that note, I has another question pertaining to Raise the alarm. The card states " turn a dynasty card in the attacked province faceup..." Since it doesn't specify a facedown card, this means I could also use this on a faceup card, correct?

Because the second part of the ability includes the clause "then" you must be able to resolve the first ability fully before resolving the second

RRG pg. 16
The word “Then”
If the effect text of a card ability includes the word “then,” the text preceding the word then must be successfully resolved in full (i.e. the game state must change to reflect the intent of the pre-then aspect of the effect in its entirety) before the remainder of the effect described after the word “then” can be resolved.
◊◊ If the pre-then aspect of an effect does successfully resolve in full, the resolution of the post-then aspect of the effect must also attempt to resolve.
◊◊ If the pre-then aspect of an effect does not successfully resolve in full, the post-then aspect does not attempt to resolve.
