Not true. He doesn't have any family name.
Other experience levels don't matter.

Go by the wording on the card. The Region is destroyed first,
then the Province, so the Region can't save it.

Yes.

The ruling was correct. Ambush is, in fact, that strong.

Correct.

That's because "adding +2" is cumulative, regardless of whether
it's adding to a printed or a current number.

Correct.

>Subject: Bowed personalites
>
>What actions can bowed personalities take? Could a bowed Togashi Mitsu
>attached fire tokens, the Toturi's Army shuriken samuri-ko do ranged attacks
>or Naka Kuro perform Kihos?
Bowed cards and Strongholds cannot normally take/perform/produce
any actions at all. This is in the rulebook, at least regarding
cards.

>Subject: The Agasha Join The Phoenix
>
>Will "The Agasha Join The Phoenix" remove the Unaligned trait from The Hoshi
>family when named?
>
>I.e. does the swearing fealty of the Event remove the Unaligned trait?
No and no. From the archive:
] Losing former alignments is a special effect of cards such as Oath
] of Fealty, not a result of swearing fealty in general. [DW, email,
] 2/17/99]
