I don't think so. Assignment actions can only assign in a 1-to-1 ratio, I thought. Unless a minion is just plain left unassigned.

I agree with EL, i had this back in tower block, i was using the southron you spot 5 companions to assign him to the RB unless you add 5 and i wanted to do it twice but i was proven wrong that i couldnt do it. Doesnt matter if the shadow is doing it, if a guy is assigned you cant force another assignment action on them as EL said, its 1 on 1.

I checked the rules book and EL and lem0n are correct

"Many assignment actions assign a minion to a companion. You cannot do this unless both of them are unassigned."

Haha yes result! If you could do what everyone is suggesting the game would be broke beyond compare, as there are a multitude of ways to pile 3 or 4 minions on a companion using assignment actions.

If that companion has defender bonuses, though....

Seriously though. Self-assigning minions are best tied to cards like Desperate Defense Of The Ring and Sense Of Obligation.

Actually, there's a subtle difference between the Fernys and, say, Mouth.

Mauhur, Mouth and Grima have an "Assignment:" ability.

Nertea and Ferny prevent the freeps from assigning. After all assignment actions have occurred and free peoples players have assigned the minions, any unassigned minions can be assigned to any companion.

Yeah, I use both Mouth and 1 copy of Ferny SSF in my expanded [Sauron] discard corrupt for the purpose of Desperate Defense of the Ring and Thin and Stretched.

I was thinking, based on this, would you still not be able to assign to an already assigned companion with a defender bonus?

If that companion has defender bonuses, though....

This answers both DI's and ELs question. Regardless of defender its still done on a one to one basis. The rule doesnt have any loop holes in it. it is done on a 1 v 1. The free peoples cant get punished for having defender bonuses by getting 2 self assigning minions on them. The freeps chooses the second assignment as a perk of having that defender bonus.
