Special Movement Rules
Movement Restrictions:
Several character figures are limited in their allowed
movement:
• Glorfindel is preparing to leave Middle Earth and will
not be distracted for long from his preparations, so he
may not move from Rivendell under normal
circumstances. If Gandalf or Aragorn are killed prior to
the Fellowship reaching Mordor, this restriction is lifted
and Glorfindel may replace them as a member of the
Fellowship. Place him with the Fellowship at the start
of their next turn.
• Elrond must remain within Rivendell throughout the
game for his power to maintain this haven from evil. If
Elrond leaves Rivendell or is slain, Rivendell is
considered to have fallen to the Minion of Sauron who
has a figure the closest to Rivendell at that time. Once
it has fallen, Rivendell and its river lose all of their
special attributes.
• Galadriel must remain within Lothlorien throughout
the game for her power to maintain this haven from
evil. If Galadriel leaves Lothlorien or is slain,
Lothlorien is considered to have fallen to the Minion of
Sauron who has a figure the closest to Lothlorien at
that time. Once it has fallen, Lothlorien loses all of its
special attributes.
• King Dain must remain within 12‖ of the Lonely
Mountain throughout the game (he is old and cannot
travel long distances).
• Arwen must remain within 12‖ of Rivendell. If she is
slain, Elrond becomes overcome with grief and
immediately abandons Rivendell and departs with all
of his figures to travel to the Undying Lands. Aragorn
will also sense her loss and lose 2 points off his
leadership.
Naval Invasion –
A force allowed to make a naval invasion may land at any
location adjacent to navigable water. Navigable water
includes the Bay of Belfalas and the River Anduin from its
mouth to Pelargir.
A force arriving by naval invasion must land on the turn it
arrives or be lost, it may not wait at sea. If the player has
boats to represent the invasion fleet, a force that arrived by
naval invasion may make another naval invasion as their
move for any figures within 3‖ of a boat model.
Mounts
Mounts:
Members of the Fellowship may obtain mounts in certain
circumstances:
• Aragorn and Legolas may obtain mounts in either
Edoras or Minas Tirith.
• Boromir may obtain a mount in Minas Tirith or
Osgiliath.
• Gandalf may obtain Shadowfax at Edoras.
• Gimli may not ride alone, but may mount with
Legolas with no move penalty. He will still fight on foot
even if moving mounted.
• The hobbits may obtain a pony if they reach Edoras.
Alternately, each may be carried along with another
mounted character figure with no movement penalty.
In either case, the hobbit figure will still dismount to
fight on foot normally.
Mounted figures, chariots and Mumaks may not enter
Moria, Shelob’s lair, or Caradhras. If a character
possessing a mount enters such terrain the mount is lost
and he/she must gain another before being able to fight or
move mounted again.
Remounts:
Figures which have lost their mounts in combat may
remount if they start and end their turn in Edoras and do
not engage in combat. Only 1 figure per turn may remount
in this manner.
Places of Healing
Certain places in Middle Earth have the lore and facilities to
heal even grievous injuries to stouthearted heroes. They
are Rivendell, Lorien, Ithilien, Erebor/Lonely Mountain, Dol
Amroth and Minas Tirith (see Places of Middle Earth).
Combat Special Rules
Fortresses - Fortresses include Dol Amroth, Erebor (The
Lonely Mountain), Helm’s Deep, Isengard, Minas Morgul,
Barad Dur, Dol Guldur and Minas Tirith. Other locations
have some defensive benefits, but do not count as full
fortresses.
Full descriptions of the fortress and tower capabilities is
found in the Places of Middle Earth section.
