Letrs assume You have all Heroes Ready

Then Troll engages You.

You play Gandalf > 4 wounds. (5HP left)

You declare some lamb as defender (lets assume def 1 hp2) -> death and +3 htreat.

You use Gandalf -> defence overcome and 1 damage done (4HP Left).

You attack with all the party (3 Heroes) -> deal 4 dam -> Troll is dead.

So You killed Troll at sacrifice of Gandalf, I good character, and Your threat at the end of fight is +3.

 

 

 

Not sure this works the way you describe... but my understanding of the game might be wrong.

 

In the Planning Phase you play Gandalf and deal 4 damage to the troll?

Then in the Encounter Phase you engage the troll

In the Combat Phase you sacrifice a lamb defender to the troll and take some threat OK

Then you attack any maybe kill the troll, attacking with Gandalf and heroes most likely since Gandalf goes away at the end of the round and you might as well get the most bang for your buck.

 

What I don't get is the "You use Gandalf -> defence overcome and 1 damage done (4HP Left)."  Is this a seperate attack by Gandalf.  Haven't you already used his 4 damage ability when he came into play in the Planning Phase.  I don't believe you can make multiple attacks against the same monster with individual characters making individual attacks... I think they all have to declare their attack on a specific monster at once.

 

Am I wrong... game is still new.

Gandalf's effect allows you to choose between drawing 3 cards, dealing 4 damage to an enemy, or reducing your threat level by 5, when he enters play. This does not count as an attack. You can then attack with Gandalf as you normally would. Since his attack is 4 and the troll's defense is 3, Gandalf overcomes the troll with one point to spare, which per the rules, counts as one damage on a combatant. This way, you can actually deal 5 damage with Gandalf in one turn.

But how does Gandalf attack on his own?  I didn't this you could attack the same monster multiple times in the Combat phase.

Gandalf comes in does 4 damage.

I believe... tell me I'm wrong... but you only get to attack a monster once in the combat phase... you can attack with multiple character but you're only allowed one attack against the monster.  Thus Gandalf can't attack on his own and then have other monster's attack.

Or are we talking about sneak attack here?

You can only attack each enemy once during the combat phase, but you don't play Gandalf during the Combat Phase. Except with Sneak Attack, and even then the four damage done by Gandalf is a freebie; doesn't count as an attack at all.

 Well, I got my first legit solo win.  After two wrath stoking losses using the Tactics deck and honest consideration of burning the game like the heathen kings of old, I decided to man up and show some Leadership.  I wouldn't say I took the game to Trouncylvania, but I did ok.  I give a lot of credit to having Steward of Gondor in my opening hand.


An ally made a Noble Sacrifice drawing out a Forest Spider while Uthak scowled from a distance, not yet ready to engage. Gandalf must have heard the screams because he showed up double quick and took Uthak to brown town during the next turn. Theodred walked into a nest of Hummerhorns while choosing which path to take, but the Sons of Arnor avenged him. In the end, Faramir showed up to point out the obvious. Nevertheless, the whole company was glad to see him as they walked out of the forest with a quest overage of 22.  Overall score, 43 threat + Theodred + 2 wounds -Chief Uthak and - Hummerhorns = 44.

He who thinks only about himself will destroy himself.
