I used to play Worlds Apart's LotR Online game quite a bit, and I recently cracked it back open to play a few games. I'd quit before Followers came out, so I don't have any online, but found myself playing against them. Now, in the rulebook, it says that a Follower returns to the support area (after being transferred to a character) when the Free Peoples player reconciles. I can't find anything in the CRD or Comprehensive rulebook that says otherwise. But in the online game, Followers transfer back at the start of the Regroup phase (or maybe it was when the player chooses to double-move, or something... not sure). I asked the guy I was playing with if it was a bug, and he said that they'd changed the ruling so that Followers went back every move, or something. Does anyone know if that's true? I have a feeling it's actually just a bug in the online game, as there's no one around at Worlds Apart that cares to fix those anymore. So... what's the verdict? Did Decipher really make some ruling that changes when Followers are transferred, or should they be sent back when the FP player reconciles? |

This is not true. Followers go back to the support area when the fellowship stops moving.

Good to know, thanks. Just another bug of the online game, I guess. =P

but it says that it is when you reconcile, so would a card like lembas trigger it? |

No. It's when you reconcile because you've stopped moving.

Yeah, the Hunters rulebook specifically states: "During the regroup phase, when the Free Peoples player reconciles and minions are discarded, each follower is transferred back to the support area (at no cost)." So, unfortunately, Lembas won't work, as the rules specify that it happens when the FP player reconciles AND minions are discarded. |

No it can't! Just because it happens to reconcile your hand and discard a minion does not make it the time in the regroup phase when the Free Peoples player reconciles and minions are discarded. This happens when the FP player decides not to move again. Thranduil |

This is an example where I could say "all elephants are gray, so all gray things are elephants"
This is obviously not the case
