If it's your The Hanged, yes.

First of all, sir, this thread is very difficult to follow. If you are going to answer every post by the same statement all over again, it will discourage people from trying to help you.

I do understand why you feel that the Ability should work as you interpret it. I would love to find a rule that specifically says it doesn't, but sadly haven't found any. Which means that we will have to do this one differently.

Let's take a look at Ophelia's (0) With My Eyes Closed! Tactical Action. It reads: "For the rest of this model's Activation, its Sh Attack Actions gain ." By your logic it would mean that both the Attack Flip that Ophelia performs and the Defense Flip that the target performs gain . What would be a purpouse of such Tactical Action?

Another common issue is Fate Modifiers and Damage Flips. Is the Damage Flip part of the Attack Action? Yes. Step 3 - Resolve Results (after Step 2 - Perform Duels). Would it gain from Ophelia's Tactical Action? No, even though it is a part of the Sh Attack Action. Rules are clear on this one.

Damage and Wounds - The Damage Flip (Malifaux 2E, page 46): Damage flips are often the result of a duel. They do not gain any of the modifiers (Fate or otherwise) that were applied directly to the duel that might have caused the damage flip. Effects that modify the damage flip will state that they do so specifically.

Ophelia's (1) "Rough Riders" Attack Action reads: "This Attack Action gains to the Attack Flip." And even though (0) With My Eyes Closed! doesn't specifically state it, like (1) "Rough Riders" does, only its Attack Flip benefits from .

If someone can show me somewhere in the FAQ & Errata or the rules somewhere to prove me wrong I will give you a cyber kiss.

Page 32, Opposed Duels, paragraph 2. "In an opposed duel there is an Attacking model (the model that is acting) and a Defending model (the model that is targeted by the Attack Action).

The rules clearly state that only the attacker is acting, so only the attacker gains any benefit from a positive flip to actions.

EDIT: Even though a Ml or Sh action causes both the attacking and defending models to flip, the bonus from Inspiried will only ever be relevant for an attacking model since the defending model cannot claim a +flip to actions when it's not acting.

You need to be the acting model to get a +flip from Inspired because the +flip is to actions.

Inspires says "This model gets  to Ml and Sh actions", not "This model gets  during  Ml and Sh actions" or "This model gets  to Ml and Sh duels".

What it comes down to is that you add modifiers to actions when you are acting, and a defending model is not acting. If you want to consider that as a peculiarity of either "action" or "to" in Malifaux Rules English you're certainly welcome to, but it's still how the rules work and is about as straightforward as it can reasonably be.

First, you don't need to make every sentence a new post. There is an edit button if you want to add to a previous post.
 

I posted the exact rule above. The only time the rule mentions anything about enemy models is in the stipulation that Lady Justice must kill an enemy model with a ML action for the ability to trigger.

So in malifaux land does the word "action" mean friendly action only? Silly real world English language is screwing me up here but the wording on the "inspire" condition Lady Justice hands out reads "this model gains +flip to Ml and Sh actions" which means enemy Ml and Sh actions too. So yay +flip to defense flips!!!

It's very specific and worded clearly. Sh, ca and ml actions are attack actions. When you or the enemy performs such an action, the defending model either performs a df or wp action to protect itself from the attack.

This doesn't need a faq or anything, as it's not an issue with the rules, but your interpretations of them, which I think is due to your misconceptions about the mechanics of actions and modifiers.

You are wrong, sir.

If someone can show me somewhere in the FAQ & Errata or the rules somewhere to prove me wrong I will give you a cyber kiss.

Df and Wp flips are duels required by the Action just like the attack flip

They are not part of the action. End of. Period. There is no wiggle room on this. 

So in malifaux land does the word "action" mean friendly action only? Silly real world English language is screwing me up here but the wording on the "inspire" condition Lady Justice hands out reads "this model gains +flip to Ml and Sh actions" which means enemy Ml and Sh actions too. So yay +flip to defense flips!!!

not quite. Say she inspires someone. They ml/sh someone else. Your model is taking a ml/sh so gains a +, the enemy is making a df/wp flip (whicher is applicable to the attack). The opponent then retaliates and attacks back. The ml/sh at your model who makes a df/wp flip. That flip is NOT at a + from Inspire as it is not a sh/ml flip for you, its a df/wp flip.

So, lets walk through how an action is performed:

One model declares an action. Whether it's e.g. a Ml action is determined by the stat it adds to its flip. Lets say for the sake of argument that its a Ml action that is resisted by Df. Then it declares a target, e.g. an enemy. Thus, "This model" would take "a Ml action". How do you come from that to the enemy model performing an action? Even if it was, it would be a Df action.

How would you  interpret "this model gains +flip to all enemy attack actions"? 

"This model gains +flip to all friendly enemy attack actions"? Haha

Both of those would make no sense at all. To get a from that wording, you would have to declare an action.

Defense flip is just as much part of the Ml or Sh action as the attack flip! Don't be prejudice against defense flips! They save your model's lives!

I don't get you. As the Inspired model doesn't perform a Ml or Sh action, why would it get a ?
