Hi team,
My brothers and I played LOTR TCG today (Christmas family get together) and got into a small argument on Savagery to Match Their Numbers (1R139).
My brother in law thought this card only makes the uruk-hai strength +4 for that one skirmish, but makes the uruk-hai fierce until the regroup phase. I read it as doing both the +4 strength and making him fierce until regroup., meaning he is also +4 strength in his fierce skirmish. His argument is that "until regroup" is only explaining the effectiveness of being fierce and not both fierce and +4 strength, and used Lurtz, Servant of Isengard (1R127) as an example of this same language used only for 'fierce'.
Can you confirm either way?

+4 and fierce both till the regroup.

Dunlending Madman or Dunlending Robber are the best examples. By his logic, they would never get the strength +2 bonus because it wouldn't last until the next skirmish.
You can also show him Beaten Back for a card which obviously shows a difference between the strength bonus and the keyword bonus. If two effects are separated by a period or comma, then they might last for a different amount of time. "And" means do both.

Thanks both of you!
