Barons & Anarchs

[extrala]

After I my anarch baron played "Open War", can he play "CrimethInc."?
The more general question is like this: Does "requires a baron"
implicates "requires an anarch"?

Open War [TR:R]
Cardtype: Action
+1 stealth action. Requires a baron.
Put this card in play. Anarch vampires can enter combat with any
minion as a (D) action. They can burn a location as a (D) action that
costs 2 pool. Any Methuselah may use a master phase action to move 1
counter from his or her pool to this card. When this card has 4 pool,
burn it and gain 4 pool. Only one Open War may be played in a game.

CrimethInc. [TR:C]
Cardtype: Action Modifier.
Disciplines: Protean/Quietus/Thaumathurgy
Requires an anarch. Play after resolving a successful action that
requires an anarch or makes this vampire an anarch.
[pro]: Untap this anarch.
[qui]: Untap another ready anarch.
[tha]: Put this card in play. During your minion phase, you may burn a
pool to untap a ready anarch you control.

On another note, are the actions allowed by Open War considered
actions that require an anarch for the same purpose?

By explicit card text, sure.

Thanks. I would have figured as much, but I seem to recall some
confusion surrounding Increased Strength and the strike to destroy
Meat Hook. For that matter, I don't recall how that works. I should
probably look it up in case someone ever decides to play Meat Hook.

The strike to destroy the Meat Hook is not a damage-dealing strike, so Increased
Strength won't affect it, even though it is a strike that requires Potence.
