An interesting new condition for an  Uruk-hai site control deck.
The first sentence is quite nice since it happens automatically -- anytime you gain control of a site, you get to exert a companion. This can only happen a few times each game, but even so it’s a good effect. The skirmish ability seems less good. Damage +1, yes, but at the cost of liberating a site?
But consider what happens when you combine both of these effects, in a deck with Poised for Assault and plenty of strong Uruks. All it takes to control a site is two skirmish victories, but you can only grab a site when both fellowships have moved past it. You might build up a stockpile of extra tokens on Poised for Assault. With You Do Not Know Pain on the table, those tokens can be put to very good use: liberate the site and then immediately take control of it again, activating both parts of YDNKP. Say goodbye to the companion your Uruk is fighting!  |

This is the most powerful card ever...
Imagine playing against someone using site control. Splash this card in your Shadow side, then liberate every site during their turn for no cost at all.
Certainly needs an errata. |

| That’s a killer idea, but I don’t think it works that way... Don’t controlled sites become "active" or "inactive" just like companions, minions, and so on? If so, then you wouldn’t be able to do anything to your opponent’s controlled sites (like liberate them) during your Shadow turn. |

| I just thoght of a combo to kill companions with four vitality. Use Chasing Uruk to take control of a site, use You Do Not Know Pain to exert the 4-vitality character skirmishing a damage +1 Uruk-hai (most of them), win the skirmish and liberate a site to make him total damage +2. |

I just noticed that this is non-unique. Ouch!!!
As Cobra said, Poised for Assault is a great combo with this card. With 4 copies of YDNKP, you can remove 2 tokens from Poised for Assault and then you get to place 4 exertions on the fellowship.
One slight mistake I noticed was that ’damage +1’ was not in bold (see Ugluk’s Sword, Weapon of Command for an example of how to correctly do it). |

First and foremost, damage +1 must always be in bold. Blaspehy.
Second, the idea of it being non-unique stirs many ideas in my wicked mind with those new uruks, direct exerting!!! However, i wouldn’t use the second text but for defence of my own fellowship... Not even with the new sword since it’s more going against it rather than with it... |

| Does that also apply to controlled sites? Because I believe that controlled sites might be considered to be in your opponent’s Shadow support area. Or are they in the generic support area? |
