If part of an Event card cannot be carried out, can I still play it?
Several forum answers, one quoting the official FAQ, agree on the maximum-extent rule; the rulebook only says unmet preconditions block the card.

Yes — once its precondition is met, you apply as much of the effect as you can. Missing reinforcements, for example, simply mean fewer units are recruited. Card text overrides the normal rules, but any rule the card does not replace still applies. For 'do this and this' cards each part is done if possible; a conditional second part needs its condition met.
