Because of all the game descriptions, and the question and answers we have a very good idea of the general course of the game, and quite a few of the details as well.
I think the Ents may be the only major part of the game that I am still vague about. They are such a big force in the novel that I'm curious how they are handled by the game cards. Does the Free Peoples' player get combat bonuses because of the Ents, or do the Ents somehow get the ability to attack Saruman on his own? Is Isengard automatically defeated if the Ents card is played, or can Saruman fight off their attack? Are the Ents a continuing force in the game if the card is played, or are they a one-time event?

The Ents excist on three Event cards. The event on all three card allows the FP player to attack Isengard. If all units in Isengard are destroyed, by one of these cards, so is Saruman. The Battle effects (three different) are among the most powerful in the game but are limited to the Rohan, Isengard and Fangorn regions. In order to use the Event cards certain requirements must be reached by the FP player. I can say this though, there is a way to use all three cards right after each other (as one action) and the effect is devastating for Saruman but the requirements for this to happen are not easily reached, and you must naturally have all three cards in your hand. I believe that the best strategy is to wait for Saruman to send forth his troops and then strike at a weakened Isengard. [glow=green,2,300]Veldrin[/glow]
