FP Reinforcements rule

[HomerJS]

Hey,

The reinforcements rules created some confusion at our last game (great game by the way!).

It says that when reinforcing, you must place your units in strongholds or cities of that nation.

Does this mean for example that Elves cannot be placed in Dol Amroth, even after they are at war?

This seems a little limiting.

Also the card the Bane of Isildur states as a condition that the fellowship must not be in a FP Stronghold. Now, if the fellowship was moved but not discovered, hence the counter is in rivendell but the fellowship progress chart is say on 4.

Is the fellowship still considered to be in a FP stronghold?

Thanks!

Yes, this is right. Any reinforcements may only be brought into play in a stronghold of the appropriate nation.

Also the card the Bane of Isildur states as a condition that the fellowship must not be in a FP Stronghold. Now, if the fellowship was moved but not discovered, hence the counter is in rivendell but the fellowship progress chart is say on 4.

Yes.
Any statement about the current position of the Fellowship always applies to the last known position thus to the current position of the Fellowship miniature.

Thats what I figured....
