Unofficial Rulebook Discussion #10 (Aug 21 - Aug 24) -- Followers and Aid

[MuadDib85]

My annoyance is with Woodhall Elf, Exile being overpowered enough already, drawing six cards per turn (possibly nine or twelve with move limit stuff) would be a bit too crazy cycle I think. Add Legolas, Fearless Marksman, Robin Smallburrow, Shirriff Cock-Robin and all of the initiative abuse from set 10 and a pretty mean fellowship could be made.

Other than that I don't know that it would effect too much at all..

If the rules were officially changed to include companion to companion transfers I would still play.

(Even though ES has already pointed out at the moment it is already possible for Comp to Comp transfers because aid game text doesn't say otherwise, I have not yet seen a game on gccg that someone has tried to transfer a follower from comp to comp after double moving, but have seen alot of double moves and alot of followers used..)

Go with Thranduil's suggestion and add 'support area' to the 'aid' gametext.

Intention should defeat poor rule wording. (The same goes for WITD, but that's another discussion ).

Finally located Decipher's article on followers (part 1, part 2), but the explanation is what's found in the rulebook.

No objections on my end if transfers were restricted. I think that if companion-to-companion transfers were intended, the rules would point this out somewhere.

Thran's suggestion sounds good.

Option 1 it is.  The "Unofficial Rulebook" has been updated.
