leadership > 5 and siege to own fortress

[Henry]

Hi,

we had an exiting game and as result some questions where we could not agree to an answer.

1) Can a FP use catapults to defend in a shadow fortress he has conquered?
2) Can a EP use siege towers to attack a shadow fortress he has lost to the FP?
2) The leadership exceeds 5 (e.g. all Nazgul present 8+2 = 10 leadership) and a card like "They are terrible" is played:

Subtract 1 from your total Nazgûl
Leadership to add 1 to all dice on your
Leader re-roll.

Is for the effect of the card the the total of 10 availible? So +5 for all 5 Leader re-roll in this case?

Thank you. It`s a great game.

Here the short story of our game:
The Elves went fast to war, for the forces of Dol Guldur and Moria advance under the Balrog to attack (enhanced movment card for Balrog played). The first flood was fought back by Galadriel recruiting constantly and siege engine superiority. The SP did not call for Saruman or Witch king to prevent Gandalf the white or Ents. The Balrog retreated with his beaten army, but alas, the Elves pursuit him. The Elves of Mirkwood and Imladris left their home. Dol Guldur fell. The Elves droved the Balrog back into Moria besieging him. They united with the Elves of Imladris and the fellowship of the ring releases all for fighting. The Balrog died in Moria against the Elvenforces lead by Gandalf and the others. But the fight was not over. All Isengarder came to free Moria, but without Saruman. The elvenarmy left Moria without fight and withdrew over the mountain. The Isengarder cross the mountain to free Dol Guldur. Meanwhile Aragorn and some Hobbits went to Rohan and set them to War. Rohan crossed the Isen and conquered Isengard. Right at the back of the Isengarder the elves retake Moria and where able to hold it long enough. The dark lord went mad. The free nations won.

Welcome, Analf!

1) No.
2) Yes.
3) Yes. The re-rolls that result from Leadership are limited, not the Leadership itself.

Thank you for the fast and clear answer, Kriegshund.

Now I wonder if my example was right, for it would be a desaster for the FP.
I must clarify it for my colleague:

"They are terrible"
Subtract 1 from your total Nazgûl
Leadership to add 1 to all dice on your
Leader re-roll.
--------------------------
Leadership of 10 => +5 modification for all 5 Leader re-roll, guaranting 5 hits!

or

Leadership of 10 => +1 modification for all Leader re-rolles, more exceeding leadship has no effect?

Thank you!

Sorry, I missed the part in your example where you said "+5". The card effect can only be used once. It's not +1 to your Leader Re-roll for each point of Leadership subtracted, it's just one point of Leadership subtracted for +1 on the Leader Re-roll. It's your second option that's correct.
