Voice of Saruman

[gloin]

Hy there,

just finished our first "battle"-game with the Rohan-Scenario which lead -surprisingly- to some questions:

The Voice of Saruman allows -in the notorious German translation I look forward to getting the English master documents- to start "3 attack-actions" with a +1 to the combat rolls. Now does that mean to every single round of the 3 combats??? Can this action be used to start a double attack against Helms Deep from both adjacent regions? In our game this caused Helms Deep to fall with just one action die after to 5-army-stacks where in position outside the wall.


There's a card - sorry, I forgot the name- that forces the Shadow-player to re-roll all unused action dice with a sword-symbol. Does this effect the dice you get by the position of Saruman (Power of the Shadow) too?

Thanks,
gloin

Yeah... the German translation. In this case actually a completely wrong rule was translated, from a pre-final version of the rules.

In fact the ability Voice of Saruman should be completely different, i.e. the same as the corresponding ability from the Gondor scenario: Do three mobilization actions with a +1 to the roll.

Yes, all Character dice that are unused at the time you play the card are re-rolled.

The German errata and clarifications for the expansion can be found here (I`ve also posted them at spielbox.de):

(hope this link works)

As of yet there are 2 known errors in the German rules for the expansion:

1. Regel Rohan-Szenario: Saruman: "Die Stimme Sarumans: Verwende ein Personen-Würfelergebnis, um 3 Mobilisieren-Aktionen mit 3 verschiedenen Armeen auszuführen, zu deren Würfelergebnis jeweils +1 hinzugezählt wird (Die Mobilisieren-Aktionen sind also bei 4, 5, 6 erfolgreich anstatt nur bei 5 oder 6)."

Diese Version von „Die Stimme Sarumans“ ersetzt alle Vorkommnisse der anderen Version („drei Angriffs-Aktionen““) in der Spielregel, auf den Übersichtsblättern und auf Karten!

2. Regel Gondor-Szenario: Seite 31, rechte Spalte, 10.1 "Belagerungsmaschinen Bauen":

Das Limit für Katapulte ist falsch. Der entsprechende Satz muss heißen:

"In jeder Region dürfen höchstens zwei (2) Katapulte stehen."

Das Limit der Belagerungstürme ist mit 1 richtig angegeben!


Have fun!
