Event cards questions

[redsimon]

Note that because I have the German version of the game I do not know all original card titles (I know some of them) of the English cards as well as the original card texts.

There and back again:
Can you seperate Gimli/Legolas with that card and also immediately use the diplomacy benefits? Or must Legolas and Gimli have been in one of the designated regions before you played the card in order to use those benefits?

The (trenches?) of Mordor:
Translated: "Recruit 2 regulars each in the 3 strongholds of Sauron."
A bit unclear, because Sauron has more than 3 strongholds. Does this refer to the 3 strongholds in Mordor? What is the original English text?

Dawnless day:
Translated: "Use a Will of the West result to declare all unused action-dice of the Free Peoples as already used."
How exactly does that work? And how can the Shadow player "use" a Free Peoples die?

A new power is rising:
Translated: "Recruit 2 regulars each in northern and southern Dunland and 2 miniatures of Rohan (regulars or elites) in Orthanc."
Seems to be a typo, so what is the original text?

Shadow(s) in the Misty Mountains:
Can you distribute the recruited miniatures among the designated regions or do you have to place all of them in the same region?

Ork-patrol; The search of the Nazgûl; Nazgûl strike and others:
What exactly means "if the fellowship is not in a stronghold of the Free Peoples" and "if at least one Nazgûl is in the same region as the fellowship"?
I don't know how you can determine that when the fellowship is not revealed.
"Nazgûl strike" translated: "Move all Nazgûl. If at least..., dicard one character card that was played on the table and..."
A shadow character card or a Fre Peoples character card?

(?) weather:
Translated: "Move the fellowship to an adjacent region."
Does that mean you can move the miniature representing the fellowship?

The (black/dark?) breathe (combat effect):
Can you explain how that works, with an example?

unknown card title:
Translated: "Play the card on the table. If [card title] is in the game and a companion of the fellowship is about to be removed as a casualty, you can remove a character strategy card (determined randomly) of the Free Peoples' player from his hand or the table."
Does that mean you remove that card instead of the fallen companion so he remains in the fellowship?

Balrog of Moria:
A bit confusing. If you draw an eye-tile (which means no effect), do you have to refer to the next paragraph and use the combat effect immediately (if possible) or does that paragraph mean you can use the combat effect anytime instead of the "hunt-effect"?

Huh, a nice large post.

The benefits of this card apply only if Legolas or Gimli seperate from the Fellowship and reach one of the named regions within this seperation movement and they apply not until Legimli has enterd one of these regions.

The (trenches?) of Mordor:

Yes, the card is a bit unclear but you were right.(In English: "Pits of Mordor - Play only if all three Sauron Nations are at war - Recruit two Regular units in each of zthe three different Sauron Strongholds")

Dawnless day:
Translated: "Use a Will of the West result to declare all unused action-dice of the Free Peoples as already used."
How exactly does that work? And how can the Shadow player "use" a Free Peoples die?

Perhaps a translation problem.
In english:
"The Day Without Dawn - Play only if all three Sauron Nations are at War - Discard all unused FP Action Dice that show a Will of the West result"

A new power is rising:
Translated: "Recruit 2 regulars each in northern and southern Dunland and 2 miniatures of Rohan (regulars or elites) in Orthanc."

It's about two Isengard units, of course.

To be continued. I have to leave now.

There and back again:
You can seperate them with this card.

The Pits of Mordor:
The Shadow player deceides which three Strongholds recives the reinforcment (Mt. Gundabad, Moria, Dol Guldur, Baradur, Minas Morgul and/or Morannon)

Dawnless day:
The Shadow uses an event action (or proper icon) to play the card and all the FP player's Will of the West result are removed for that turn.

A new power is rising:
Recruit two Isenagrd Regulars in North and South Dunland and two Isengard Regulars or Elites in Orthanc.

Shadow(s) in the Misty Mountains:
You have to pick one.

Ork-patrol; The search of the Nazgûl; Nazgûl strike and others:

The Fellowship miniature cannot be in a FP Stronghold.

You must have one Nazgûl in the same Region as the Fellowship minature.

The Fellwoship is revelaed when you have turned the fellowship marker (the marker you move on the Fellowship track to keep track of how far the fellowship has moved. The ring side is Hidden and the Red side is Revealed.

You can discard a FP Character Event card that the FP player has played on the table such as Axe and Bow, Horn of Gondor or Wizard's staff.

(?) weather:
Yes!

The (black/dark?) breathe (combat effect):
If you score one hit with your Leader re-roll (when a Nazgûl is present) you can choose to eliminate a Leader from the FP and if you score as many hits on the re-roll as a Comapnion's level (the Companion must be in the battle) you can choose to eliminate him.

unknown card title:
If the FP player chooses to kill of a Companoin to avoid Corruption the Shadow player can either

A: Draw one card at random from the FP player's hand and discard it,

B: You can discard a FP Character Event card that the FP player has played on the table such as Axe and Bow, Horn of Gondor or Wizard's staff.

The Comapnion still dies.

Balrog of Moria:
You must use either the extra tile effect or the battle effect.

If you attack Lorien you can use the Balrog card even if it is on the table.

Hope this clears things up!

Ahh, good to know. I played it wrong until now.
But are you sure, Veldrin?

[Veldrin]

Yes, I am sure.

You are allowed to "Recruit two Sauron Regular units in each of three different Sauron Strongholds" when you play this card.

So you could recruit two Regular orcs in Morannon, Mt. Gundabad and Dol Guldur

or

in Barad-Dur, Minas Morgul and Moria

or in Dol Guldur, Minas Morgul and Mt. Gundabad

or

and so on...

[cheup]

You are right.
I thought I had read "in each of THE three Sauron Strongholds".
Perhaps, I should read the card

[redsimon]

Ok, I'm going to make a list with all Event Card names and batlle effects in English and German. One reason for doing it is that some here in Germany have the English Version, others the German one, so they can talk to each other and in internatinal message boards like this to other gamers.

I already have the Event Card main titles but I need the titles of the different batlle effects to complete the list.
This is the point where those gamers with the English versions can help me. (maybe you?)

Return to Valinor
The text on the German card says nothing about which units can be attacked in the Elven Fortresses.
What does the original card day?
Can you choose units of other nations as casualties?

The title of the card indicates that it is meant to simulate the elves leaving Middle-Earth for the West.

I would therefore assume that only elven units are affected.

redsimon,

In case you don't know, the 'Files' section for this game on boardgamegeek contains a summary of all the event cards (in both Word and Excel format). This might help you in your efforts.

What does the card say?
And what would you and/or the designers say, Veldrin?

[Veldrin]

Yes, I would say that only Elven units are affected.
