Title: Precision Targeting vs. Allies at Home?
Post by: Wyrden333 on September 16, 2018, 08:58:15 AM

Hi y'all,

so I just played a game of Expanded and was playing against an archery shadow using Precision Targeting 11R96.

So on site 6 I had Galadriel, Keeper of Nenya out, and when my opponent played Precision Targeting, I chose 3 Companiens as normal. I then was about to assign archery wounds and wondered, why I wasn't able to assign wounds to Galadriel, since Precision Targeting states 'Other Companions cannot take archery wounds'.

I don't know wether this is a ruling, that Precision Targeting includes Allies, or if it's a bug, or if Gemp never allows Allies to take archery wounds for whatever reason.

 Here is the replay:

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm pretty sure it's a bug.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you're ever at an ally's home site on the flexible site path.  I.e. Galadriel, Keeper of Nenya is only at home at site 6 of the Fellowship site path; allies with tower symbol are only at home on the towers site path; allies with the crown are only at home on the kings site path.

Since no allies were printed post-shadows, there isn't a symbol for flexible site path home sites.

Good point, didn't realize that.

 But there is no 'fellowship' site symbol. And the BR Rulebook says:
 "[...]a shadow player chooses the next site [...] It becomes site 2. The next time [...], it will be site 3"
Galadriel is home site 6, so she should be at home, at shadow-onwards site 6.

But I'm not sure on that either.

Home sites for allies without a Towers or King block symbol only apply to Fellowship block. So she would not have been at a home site in expanded.
