A handful of questions...

[Smash62]

Just got the expansion and am trying the Rohan scenario. Questions:

(1) The Theoden card refers to "each Rohan settlement". Does this only refer to both settlements in Rohan Plains, or to each settlement in West Marches, Rohan Plains and East Marches?

(2) The Rules Summary cards for the Rohan scenario list the following as a permissible action for the Free Peoples Action Tokens: "Flip one Recruitment token, or place one Recruitment token in one Recruitment Area of the appropriate Nation." The latter part of the sentence isn't listed on page 10 of the rules, and no "Recruitment Areas" seems to be defined for the Rohan player in the Rohan scenario. Is this a "leftover" from the Gondor scenario, or can the Rohan player place Recruitment tokens in Rohan settlements?

(3) Typo: Page 4, 3rd column says "Leaders are immediately removed from play if they find themselves in a Region without friendly Units." Page 16, 2nd column says, "A Leader attached to the Army may be left behind without any Units." These appear to contradict.

(4) The Gondor setup map on page 26 shows 5 Leadership tokens in the Commander-in-Chief box. I think these should be Darkness tokens.

Love the avatar, by the way.

All six settlments. (For some reason I assume Edoras and Helm's Deep aren't settlements).

(2) The Rules Summary cards for the Rohan scenario list the following as a permissible action for the Free Peoples Action Tokens: "Flip one Recruitment token, or place one Recruitment token in one Recruitment Area of the appropriate Nation." The latter part of the sentence isn't listed on page 10 of the rules, and no "Recruitment Areas" seems to be defined for the Rohan player in the Rohan scenario. Is this a "leftover" from the Gondor scenario, or can the Rohan player place Recruitment tokens in Rohan settlements?

This Question is Frequently Asked, and thus in the FAQ.

(3) Typo: Page 4, 3rd column says "Leaders are immediately removed from play if they find themselves in a Region without friendly Units." Page 16, 2nd column says, "A Leader attached to the Army may be left behind without any Units." These appear to contradict.

It turns out that "immediately" is a bit slower than one might think. Using one army die, Army A drops Leader L in Region R. Using the same die, Army B ends its move in Region R. Leader L is now a part of army B, and is not removed.

(4) The Gondor setup map on page 26 shows 5 Leadership tokens in the Commander-in-Chief box. I think these should be Darkness tokens.

yep.

Thanks for the reply.

Question (2): I checked the FAQ again, and I still don't see the response to my 2nd question--I must be blind. (And so I still don't know what the answer is.)

Question (3): The rule I pointed to was part of "Advancing after Combat", not moving two armies with one action die. It seems like the sentence is missing the word "not".

There are no Recruitment Areas for the FP in the Rohan Scenario. The same wording is used on both aids. Simply ignore it in the Rohan scenario.

It is written like that since the FP Companions and Captains also are leaders when in the same region as a friendly army and they can be left behind.

Ooops, well the Question is at least Frequently Asked. mea culpa!
