Today's Faction Specific Ability: Kurita - Japanese Tea Ceremony: Whenever the Kurita player declares the beginning of a Japanese Tea Ceremony, all opposing players must immediately make a consciousness roll against a target number of 12. All units failing this roll are rendered unconscious until the release of a new novel that does not center on House Kurita. This ability may only be used once per campaign. If more than 50% of the enemy force (rounded down) survives the consciousness check, the player that initiated the ceremony must immediately activate either the "Seppuku Ceremony" or the "Yakuza Chop-your-finger-off Ceremony" special abilities. (Non Kurita players must make a second consciousness roll to remain conscious through these tedious ceremonies as well. This roll is separate from the consciousness roll for the Tea Ceremony special ability.)
