Question:
For the purposes of 1) Insurgent REs triggering Gobernito garrison release, and 2) checking the required Insurgent Gobernito border garrison, are the REs of intrinsic garrisons (of pacified cities) considered units?
Answer 1:
39D specifies that intrinsic garrisons are treated as units. The trigger conditions listed in the Loyalist OB for release of the various Gobernito Garrisons refer to insurgent units without modifying the term “units” in any way. Therefore, yes, Insurgent intrinsic garrison “units” that otherwise meet the conditions specified in the OB *do* count towards Gobernito garrison release.
Note that the trigger conditions for the release of the various garrisons all require the Insurgent units being counted toward the garrison’s release to be inside the Gobernito. If the Insurgent player has taken a city inside a Gobernito and pacified it (thus leaving an intrinsic garrison behind), then that intrinsic garrison is definitely contributing towards the unease being felt by that Gobernito and should count towards the release of that Gobernito’s garrison.
Answer 2:
There is no such thing as an “Insurgent Gobernito border garrison”. 38D5 refers to “Insurgent Gobernito Guard Forces”. Per that rule, “Only Insurgent ground units with an attack strength greater than 0 may be used for these guard forces”. Since 39D specifies that intrinsic garrisons always have an attack strength of 0, intrinsic garrisons cannot be counted towards part of any Insurgent Gobernito Guard Force.
