See earlier post here on this exact same topic, if you want official CMON suggestions:...

I agree you make a point for inconsistency in the text of this card. "You" would point to the player, thus your interpretation does have a logical rationale why you (not Rodrik!) would come into that...

As we are in rule question area, please quote the relevant part that says so. I cannot find that directly said in the rule book.

Even though I said in my earlier comment, that I see no Faction bias on the scenario, I do feel that Stark with Robb is extremely good for this scenario.
All that extra maneuverability is golden.
...

Mobility / Maneuverability is key in this scenario.
Then Panic Tests with negative modifiers are important.
And for that reason, Good Morale stat is extremely good in this scenario.

Both right...

Vow is not "using an Order" (no order token icon in any of the existing vows), nor is it "playing Tactics Card" (as it has been already played and resolved earlier if it is already attached), both...

To me Alliser's comment make perfect sense, only with one objection:

While I agree point three above is the likely correct answer, it could also be point two. As in point three, also in point two...

Incorrect.

- The linked thread discusses about totally different thing, it is a topic about "can I make an Unit something else by just attaching an attachment to it" (which it cannot).

-...

How to handle other units during Charge aligning move, that you might become in touch with when contacting your target?

Rule book quote:
• Units may never end a move within 1” of an enemy unless...

Regarding the Game Modes v1.0:

A Dance With Dragons -game-mode has following movement restriction:

It is correct, that rule book does not have ruling on such pivot, so RAW is no pivot in that scenario.
The Surge Forth rule part (about the pivot) is tied into attacker being the source (not to...

Do note that the House from attachments is additive, it does not remove the previous House / Faction defined for the Unit.
And do note you have mistake above: the restriction is not Bolton only, it...

Here the rule book v1.1 text for both terrain types:

HINDERING:
Units must roll 2 dice when Charging through this Terrain and select the lowest result. When Charging, units suffer a...

I find this answer lacking, as hindering and rough have clearly different wording and text. Other has more conditions than other. So why would they be ruled same way, if the triggering conditions are...

Simultaneous actions rule kicks in. Active player rerolls first.

So charge bonus reroll first, then the weakened.


In theory, attacks that happen on enemy turn (like halberdiers order) would...

My apologies! My answer above is totally incorrect.

The answer as far as I know is, both hits from the 6 gain the benefit, as they come from the 6.

I almost feel like I have seen this...

EDIT: Ignore this post, not answering to the asked question



As per rule book, keywords do not stack.

So adding Critical Blow to Unit that has Critical Blow does nothing.

However, if the...

I'm starting no notice a pattern (from previous messages on this forum and on other sources), that if Allister makes a comment on how to interpret the game rules, it is very likely correct ruling as...

I think this is the RAW interpretation, there is no basis in the rule book to define vows as abilities.

And there is already a similar thing happening in the Stark and Lannister starter: the NCU's...

This works. Rules definitely need clarification.

Incorrect. You quote only partially. This is the exact quote from rule book, page 16:

Additionally, if, after the Retreat is completed, the enemy unit (or
units) are now unengaged, each of those...

I'm playing as much according to rules as I can. So as there is nothing in the rules about saying otherwise, must read it "as it is in the rules".

With that logic, the way I have started resolving...

Helsinki, Finland (Europe).

Still waiting even Greataxes and Pyromancers. NW should in theory be here today, but I strongly doubt it.
