We had our first complete game and I think, for the most part, we did everything right! A few questions came up, mostly in regards to battles.
1) 10 units max per territory. Now is that 10 units counting 2 per elites (i.e. 3 elites [3x2=6] + 4 single = 10 units) or does the type of unit not matter (i.e. 4 elites and 6 single).
2) When rolling die for the battle, both the attacker and defender can only kill, right? It's not like RISK where ties go to the defense and the don't lose anything. Let's say FP attacks the SP and both roll 5 die and each score 2 hits. Both the FP and SP lose 2 units, right?
3) Casualties for the FP are out of the game permanently? There's no way, aside from event cards to bring them back? (Only ask this because the SP kept committing a large amount of die for the hunt and fellowship movement was slow. This caused the FP to focus on armies for a while but with the casualties inflicted, after a few turns this didn't seem like a good idea).
4) You can only muster troops in towns, cities, strongholds, and fortifications, yes? So an army on the move that is in a neutral territory, can not add additional troops using a muster die?
5) Once the fellowship reaches Mordor, if there are still beige tiles left, then you add the additional blue and red special tiles and continue? You don't put back all used beige tiles until all 16 have been used up?
I'm sure more questions will come up but that seems like enough for now
