How about a little of each? Mr. Green Check it now.

Good to see a review from you again, my friend.

Fair enough. Could be 0 I reckon.

It’s fine. Weird title, though.

I think I’d take out the limit anyway, given that I don’t like limits much and it would still be balanced, I reckon.

Make it cost 0. Its quite specific.

Wow that name is lame dude! Seems ok to me though.

This could easily become a way nasty tactic for rohan, i totally disagree with Thran, drop cost to 2 and limit to 2 would make me feel better. Thumbs Up

The title of Stop This Rat-hole is a direct quote from Gamling:

Quote:
Gamling the Old looked down from the Hornburg, hearing the great voice of the dwarf above all the tumult. ’The Orcs are in the Deep!’ he cried. ’Helm! Helm! Forth Helmingas!’ he shouted as he leaped down the stair from the Rock with many men of Westfold at his back.
Their onset was fierce and sudden, and the Orcs gave way before them. Ere long they were hemmed in in the narrows of the gorge, and all were slain or driven shrieking into the chasm of the Deep to fall before the guardians of the hidden caves.
’Twenty-one!’ cried Gimli. He hewed a two-handed stroke and laid the last Orc before his feet. ’Now my count passes Master Legolas again.’
We must stop this rat-hole,’ said Gamling. ’Dwarves are said to be cunning folk with stone. Lend us your aid, master!’
’We do not shape stone with battle-axes, nor with our finger-nails,’ said Gimli. ’But I will help as I may.’

Kind of a funny title, granted, but I love the little exchange between Gamling and Gimli. Smile


I hinted at new Rohan fortifications with one of yesterday’s cards, and today I deliver. Enjoy!

1The Deeping Wall Rohan
Condition • Support Area
Fortification.
Skirmish:
Exert 2 Rohan Men to make each minion strength -1 for each wound on that minion until the regroup phase. Discard this condition.
“‘They will break upon this fortress like water on rock.’”

Figured the text was a good way of translating the lore into card form. Very Happy

1Rampart Rohan
Condition • Support Area
Fortification.
Archery:
Spot 2 valiant Men to choose one: discard a machine, engine, or possession; or make the minion archery total -3. Discard this condition.
“‘We will cover the causeway and the gate from above.’”

A semi-reprint of Parapet with more "modern" text.

1 Embrasure Rohan
Condition • Support Area
Fortification.
Archery: Exert a Rohan Man to make the fellowship archery total +1 and the minion archery total -1. Discard this condition.
“...dark against a narrow window, looking out upon the vale.”

Started as a reprint of Arrow-slits (which is what "embrasures" are), but evolved into something that made a lot more sense to me. How’s the balance, though?

cool could cut to 1 methinks

At the start of each archery phase, you may exert 2 Rohan Men to make the fellowship archery total +1 and the minion archery total -1.

Yeah, looks good. I think I’d prefer fewer exertions for a higher twilight cost, though.

I think I’d keep it at 2 just because discarding Shadow cards is not a normal Rohan ability. Though while unique, 1 would probably be alright.

I feel like you should discard this condition to go with the others and also to save both text and exertions.

Awesome. Freakin awesome. Maybe cost 2.

Sweet. Could cost 1.

2 exertions isnt worth 1 archery shadow wound and 1 less archery returned fire. But 1 isnt enough. Id keep it as it is and make you discard the condition with a cost of 0.

Alright, made a couple more tweaks. Let me know what you think now.

With all of our Rohan fortifications currently discarding for their effects, how about a way to get them back? Better still, how about two ways? Smile

3The Hornburg Rohan
Condition • Support Area
Fortification.
The twilight cost of each other Rohan fortification is -1.
Each time another Rohan fortification is about to be discarded, you may exert a Rohan Man to take that fortification into hand instead.
“There upon its spur stood high walls of ancient stone, and within them was a lofty tower. Men said that in the far-off days of the glory of Gondor the sea-kings had built here this fastness with the hands of giants.”

1 Sturdy Gate Rohan
Condition • Support Area
Fortification.
Regroup:
Discard this condition and spot a valiant Man to play another Rohan fortification from your discard pile.
“‘Is it not said that no foe has ever taken the Hornburg, if men defended it?’”
