ASoIaF : TMG FAQ

These are FAQ & Errata compiled from CMON’s official 2021 S01:1 FAQ for A Song of Ice and Fire : The Miniatures Game (ASoIaF : TMG) as well as from responses by the game’s developers on the official CMON rules forum. I plan to update these as new responses come in in order to maintain a kind of “living FAQ”.

Last updated: October 17th 2022

Errata – General Rules – Game Modes – Abilities, Units & Tactics Cards

Errata

Pg 16, Perform Attack

The Attacker will then resolve 1 Melee Attack (this is not a separate Action).

Pg 20, A Full Tactics Board:

Replace with: “If the Tactics Board is full, then NCUs may no longer be Activated that Round, or until an Ability or effect would create an open slot on the Tactics Board.”

New Rule, “Idleness Means Death”:

Engaged Combat Units may not choose to forgo performing their Action. They MUST elect to perform an Attack Action or a Retreat Action. If an Ability or effect would allow another special Action to be performed while engaged, that Action may be performed per the effect. If the unit chooses to perform a Retreat Action, it must actively disengage from combat, if possible (eg. it may not elect to perform a Retreat, then choose to not disengage if it rolled well enough to do so).

General Rules

If an Attachment is destroyed or somehow removed from a unit, does the unit lose the Abilities of the Attachment?

Yes

If my opponent has an Attachment that is added to my unit (such as Jaqen H’ghar, Unnamed), and that unit already contains an Attachment, how is the order determined?

The unit’s owner determines the order in which they are placed within the unit.

Follow-up question: So this means if the unit is dealt enough Wounds to remove that Attachment, but not destroy the unit, the Attachment is removed (and thus its Ability lost)?

Yes.

If an Attachment is destroyed from a unit, and then wounds are restored to the unit, can the Attachment be returned?

No. Once destroyed, the Attachment is permanently lost. The unit may only restore generic models.

Can I target units that are not on the battlefield (such as Combat Units in Reserve) with Abilities/effects?

No, units in Reserve do not Activate, and cannot be interacted with in any fashion until they are on the battlefield.
Unless something is specifically and directly interacting with Reserves, it cannot interact with them (eg, you cannot place Condition tokens on units in Reserve, you cannot Wound them, etc etc.) The only effects that interact with them specifically state such, and in all these cases, are means of deploying them onto the battlefield (Game Mode, Outflank, etc).

Do units suffer Panic Tests anytime they take damage?

No. units are only ever forced to make Panic Tests from Attacks, or if an effect specifically says for them to do so.

Do Abilities such as Orders of the Crown or Motivated by Coin, which trigger when a unit is targeted by a specific zone, trigger if a different zone gains the listed zone’s effect?

No. The trigger for these effects is the unit being targeted by the specific zone listed on the Ability- it is not linked to the effect of that zone.

Can I expend Condition tokens while also utilizing other effects with similar timing?

Yes.

Can I move and/or pivot off the table edge?

Units may pivot off the table edge, but may not do any other type of movement. The table edge is treated as impassable.

If an enemy I am engaged with is destroyed by something other than a Melee Attack, can I Surge Forth/Pivot with units that were engaging them?

No. Surge Forth (and pivots allowed by it) only happen when an enemy unit is destroyed by a Melee Attack from units engaging it, no other time.

What happens if I cannot fit all my units into my Deployment Zone?

Any unit that cannot be deployed due to lack of space will instead be placed fully within your deployment as their activation for the round.

Can a unit Shift out of engagement?

No.

Can an engaged unit shift at all unless it performs a melee attack?

No, an engaged unit may only shift when performing a melee attack. Shifting (or any movement other than a Retreat) is not permitted while engaged unless expressly stated in an Ability/effect.

Can an engaged unit shift into contact with a second unit when it realigns while making a melee attack?

Yes, but this situation would only be possible if the units were in precisely and exactly the right positions to allow them to re-align against their current enemy at 50/100% and then be exactly a distance from the enemy where they contacted, but did not overlap, their tray. So it will often be unlikely to happen in practice.

Can a unit Shift into range when it makes a Ranged Attack, or must it already have a valid target within range to begin with?

A target must be valid after the Shift. This effectively means units with Long Range can initiate Ranged Attacks from 14”, and Short Range 8”.

Do “After a unit is Attacked” and “After a unit is Destroyed” share the same trigger?

No. Units can be destroyed at numerous points during the steps of resolving an Attack, such as from Wounds resulting from failed defense Saves and Wounds resulting from a failed Panic Test (and in rare cases, during other steps as well, usually due to specific Abilities, such as Counterattack). “After a unit is Attacked” triggers
only once all steps involved in an Attack have been resolved, eg. Hits, Wounds, Panic Test, etc. This means they would also resolve after any “After a unit is destroyed” effects trigger.

Follow-up. What about Surge Forth?

Surge Forth is not a step of an Attack action, it is a gameplay effect resulting from an Attack, not part of it. It also has specific rules stating it is only resolved after all other Abilities and effects, including any “After attack” effects.

Do I suffer the effects of Terrain pieces that, when Charging, end my alignment over but didn’t actually cross during the move?

Yes, these effects must be factored into the total Charge Action.

If multiple enemies are perfectly aligned next to each other, and one is successfully charged (resulting in corner-to-corner contact for the attacker and these enemies) what happens?

These enemies are moved 1” away, per the Engaging Multiple Enemies rules on pg. 16.

Can you deploy within 1” of an enemy unit since this is not a movement?

No.

When an attachment with a triggered order is moved to another unit, does the order remain triggered for that round?

Yes, the Order has already been used.

Can Abilities/effects that trigger “After Defense Dice are rolled” be used even if an effect does not allow Defense Dice to be rolled?

Yes. Even if dice are not rolled, steps in resolving Combat are never skipped.

What happens if a unit moves out of range after being legally declared a target for a charge (or moved in some other way that would make the charge impossible).

– Charge declared
– “movement” effect activated (eg, Ready, Aim, Release, whatever it might be) (Charge was legally declared)
At this point, if the unit is now in a position where the Charge has become “impossible” to complete (whether by the defending unit being out of charge distance, or the defending unit is otherwise unreachable) it was still declared and must still be attempted.
– If the unit is simply now “out of range” then all standard steps are still taken. Attacker pivots (remaining in arc at end), rolls charge distance (that they cannot complete) and moves (and will come up short per example).
– If the unit is unreachable by some other means (eg, the attacker wouldnt have any place to actually “end up” in the arc they charged) then the same steps would be taken, but, since the result cant be completed, it would end in a Failed Charge.

Can Non Combat Units receive Condition Tokens such as Weakened?

No.

Are Tactic Zones abilities?

No. Tactics Zone effects are not Abilities.

Game Modes

In A Clash of Kings, do I gain +1 additional Victory Point if my Commander’s unit destroys an enemy that typically would not grant VP?

Yes. The VP is being gained from the Commander’s unit, not the enemy.

In A Storm of Swords, how is Range and Line of Sight drawn from the Castle Walls for their Arrows attack?

Arrows may target any enemy within Long Range of any part of the Castle Wall.

In Fire and Blood, do I gain +1 additional Victory Point if my Marked unit destroys an enemy that typically would not grant VP?

Yes. The VP is being gained from the Marked unit, not the enemy.

In Here we Stand, how do attachments that go on enemy units (Such as the Turn Coat) interact with scoring?

They count toward the player who paid their points cost.

In Dark Wings, Dark Words, when do you start scoring from the mission cards?

Mission cards can be scored whenever their conditions have been met. Including the 1st Round.

In Winds of Winter, if both players choose the same mission, do you score twice when reaching their requirement?

Yes.

In Winds of Winter when do you select your hand of mission cards (before terrain placement, before deployment, before play one is determined)?

The hand is constructed once the game mode is chosen, but before any additional steps are taken.

What exactly is the definition of Commander’s Unit and how does it interact with Jaqen attachment, Clash of Kings, Here We Stand, Balon NCU, etc. To be more precise, can there be more than 1 Commander Unit in the game?

Your “Commander’s unit” refers to the current unit that your Commander is in. If an effect moves them from their original unit to another, the new unit would be your Commander’s unit.
If a Commander is destroyed and subsequently redeployed via some method (or in situation like Jaqen becoming a copy of that Attachment) then, as stated above, whatever unit they are currently attached to is your “Commander’s Unit”.
In extremely rare scenarios, such as Jaqen copying a Commander, then that Commander unit redeploying via Clash of Kings (as units are re-deployed exactly as they started, regardless of other board-states), there are situations where you could potentially have two copies of your Commander in play for a period of time, resulting in also having two of your “Commander’s units”. As mentioned, however, these interactions are rare and the result of specific interactions and/or planning usually, so good planning/tactics.

Follow up question: When copying the enemy commander through Jaqen H’Gar’s Order Taking A New Name, does the model now also count as a commander for me?
No. Copying an Enemy Commander does not make it your army’s Commander as your Commander is chosen during list creation.

In A Feast for Crows, what happens if a unit claims an Objective token from a unit that fully covers the corpse pile? Does the unit on the corpse pile immediately reclaim the token, as the unit off the corpse pile may not hold it?

No. The token is placed on the corpse pile. The unit on the corpse pile must still end a move on top of the Objective token in order to claim it. It is not sufficient to simply stand on it.

Abilities, Units & Tactics Cards

A FLAYED MAN HAS NO SECRETS: Q: How does A Flayed Man Has No Secrets interact with abilities that target multiple units, such as Tycho Nestoris or Tywin Lannister? Is the effect only cancelled for the targeted unit or is it cancelled in its entirety?
A: The effect is cancelled in its entirety since you do not get to piecemeal: “choose targets, wait, choose more”. You must resolve all of the effect, including declaring any and all targets.

Q: Follow up question: what about abilities such as Supply Aid or Qhorin Halfhand’s Sacrifice For The Cause? Will the unit still suffer wounds from Supply Aid and will Qhorin still die, if A Flayed Men Has No Secret targets the other unit mentioned in those effects?
Yes. Qhorin will still die and the Unit using Supply Aid will still lose wounds as these 2 steps happen at different times. First you sacrifice models/Qhorin and only then do you target the other unit.

ADAPTIVE PLANNING: Q: If a unit has more than 1 condition token, Adaptive Planning be used to turn a condition token into another already on that unit, thereby removing it?
A: Yes. Nothing in the text says it must be a token that is not already present on the unit, and once you try to apply a token the unit already has, the base rules for “only 1 token of each type” apply, preventing it from gaining another.

AERON GREYJOY: Q: “… for each of its destroyed ranks” is referring Aeron’s unit or the destroyed enemy?
A: Aerons unit’s destroyed ranks.

AFFILIATION: X: Q: Does the Affiliation: X Ability add the listed keywords to a unit or does it replace existing ones?
A: Affiliation: X does not remove anything from the unit. It merely adds additional keywords for effects to trigger from.

ALESTER FLORENT: Q: When Alester moves to a new zone, do I then resolve the effect of that zone?
A: No, Alester is not Claiming the zone, he is merely being placed on it.

AND NOW HIS WATCH HAS ENDED: Q: Does the use if Qhorin’s Sacrifice for the Cause trigger “And Now His Watch Has Ended”?
A: Yes.

Q: If 2 of this card have already been attached to friendly Night’s Watch units and a third friendly unit is then destroyed, can I perform the effect of both cards?
A: Yes, the card’s ability is in effect after its trigger has been met and the card played

Q: Can Ghost make use of And Now His Watch Is Ended when it is attached to Jon Snow’s unit?
A: No. While Ghost treats himself as having all the same cards Jon’s unit does, the “And Now His Watch Is Ended ” requires itself to be discarded in order for the effect to take place- which is something Ghost cannot do as he does not have a copy on himself to discard.

BALON GREYJOY: Q: Are Attachments returned with his Ability?
A: Yes

BATTLE ENDURANCE (Grey Worm, Unsullied Commander): Errata: The effect of this card should read as follows:
“Target 1 friendly Combat Unit and attach this card to it until the end of the game. While attached, this unit’s Melee Attacks gain the following bonuses, based on the Game Round (effects are cumulative):
3+: May re-roll any Misses
4+: Sundering
5+: Critical Blow
6+: +2 Attack Dice”

BLACK FIRE (Drogon): Q: Does this deal D3+1 Wound per remaining Rank for each Hit or D3+1 Wound per remaining Rank regardless of the number of Hits?
A: No, you only roll one D3 to wound, regardless of the number of Hits.

BOISTEROUS CHARISMA: Q: If an Ability/effect replaces a Tactics Zone, which then targets this unit, is that legal?
A: Yes. This Ability only stops Abilities/effects that are directly targeting the unit.

BOLDNESS & COURAGE: Q: How do Abilities/effects that modify Attack Dice interact with Boldness & Courage?
A: Boldness and Courage modifies the base Attack Die Value based on ranks. This is done before any dice-modifiers are applied (just like normal).

BOLT THROWER: Q: The Bolt Thrower ability reads: “For each unblocked Hit, Cavalry, Monster, and War Machine units suffer 2 Wounds.”. How does this initeract with the Giant’s abillity and the Fire Made Flesh tactics card which state that the defender only suffer 1 wound per 2 unblocked hits?
A: In this situation the Giant’s Ability and Fire Made Flesh take precedence as 2 unblocked Hits were not generated.

BONDED BEAR (SKINCHANGER): Q: Bonded Bear states that the unit “… cannot grant Victory Points”. Is this the same as Insignificant (ignoring Victory through Combat) or is this meant to prevent more types of sources of Victory Points?
A: Ignoring “Victory Through Combat” and “cannot grant Victory Points” are not the same rule (though “cannot grant Victory Points” also covers Victory Through Combat by nature of its effect. It is important to expressly look at each effect that is causing the additional VP and what it is actually affecting. Some effects generate VP on triggered conditions, independent of the unit that triggered them (Destroy X Combat Units, generic example) whereas others would grant direct bonuses based on the unit. #

Q: If the Bear’s Skinchanger is moved to another unit (for example via Regroup and Reform) after it has already activated, does the Bear get to deploy again?
A: No. The Bear was selected, it was deployed. Even if the Skinchanger is moved and re-Activated, the Bear itself cannot re-deploy itself (as nothing is allowing it to do so) and it has already been deployed.

BRAN’S PROTECTOR: Q: Can this Ability be used with other Abilities/effects with the same trigger?
A: Yes, as this is not an Order or Tactics Card.

CATELYN STARK: Q: How do Abilities/effects that modify Attack Dice interact with “Family, Duty, Honor”?
A: “Family, Duty, Honor” modifies the base Attack Die Value based on ranks. This is done before any dice-modifiers are applied (just like normal).

COORDINATION TACTICS: Q: When playing coordination tactics on my opponent’s turn, may I use it to activate an order that has a “Start of friendly Turn” trigger such as War Cry?
A: No, the condition of Friendly or Enemy Turn must still be met to utilize the effect.

COUNTERSTRIKE: Q: When are the Hits from Counterstrike applied?
A: As soon as Attack Dice are finalized.

Q: Follow-up: This can lead to the Attacker being destroyed, what happens?
A: The Attack still resolves

CROSSBOW: Q: From where is the short range to the attack’s target measured when determining whether the attack gains re-rolls: the front arrow or any part of the tray?
A: Any part of the tray. The front arrow is only relevant when measuring distances for Ranged Attacks.

DAENERYS TARGARYEN (The Unburnt): Q: Does Daenerys reduce the cost of all dragons by 1, or only a single dragon?
A: Only one dragon.

DAVOS SEAWORTH – HAND OF THE TRUE KING: Q: Can Davos’ ability be used to prevent Set For Charge?
A: Yes. By the time Set for Charge would trigger, the unit is engaged, and thus Davos would prevent them from utilizing the Order.

DEVIOUS METHODS: Q: If this takes a card that, upon being played, would attach to a unit, what happens?
A: The card is returned to the opponent’s discard pile if it leaves your hand for any reason.

Q: How does this card interact with cards that would deploy units, such as The Endless Horde?
A: If the Greyjoy player has the listed unit available, it may be deployed.

Q: Follow-up question: So consequently, a Greyjoy player could control a unit of Free Folk Raiders, if they had brought the unit beforehand?
A: Yes

DISRUPT: Q: If a unit is engaged with multiple units with Disrupt, do these effects stack?
A: No, effects of the same name never stack.

DIVERSION TACTICS: Q: If the Defender is destroyed, when do I measure range?
A: Before removing the Defender’s tray.

Q: Can this card be used if the Defender is destroyed?
A: While the card can be played (as its trigger is met), its effect only targets units in long range of the Defender, of which there are none (as the unit was removed upon being destroyed).

DRAGON’S FLIGHT: Q: Does the realignment of an attacking unit count as a move that triggers Dragon’s Flight?
A: No, a unit repositioning itself in combat will not trigger Dragon’s Flight.

EMBOLDEN: Q: Does this affect itself?
A: Yes.

ENDLESS HORDE: Q: Can this re-deploy Character units?
A: Yes.

FEINTING MANEUVER: Q: If my target has effects that trigger from being Charged from the Front/Flank (such as Set for Charge), do they trigger?
A: No. the unit is treated as having been charged in the Flank/Rear respectively for all gameplay purposes.

FIERY RESOLVE: Q: Is this an additional +3 Wounds in addition to the result of the failed Panic Test, or replacing the result of the roll with 3?
A: It is replacing the result of the D3 with 3, before modifiers.

FINAL STRIKE: Q: Can this cause more Hits than Wounds remaining in the unit?
A: No

Q: Do wounds caused by the Panic Test count towards final strike?
A: Yes. The Panic Test is a step of the Attack, and any Wounds are counted for all effects related to such.

FIRE MADE FLESH: Q: How does Fire Made Flesh which states that the defender only suffers 1 wound per 2 unblocked hits interact with the Bolt Thrower’s ability that states: “for each unblocked Hit, Cavalry, Monster, and War Machine units suffer 2 Wounds“?
A: In this situation Fire Made Flesh takes precedence as 2 unblocked Hits were not generated.

FOR THE WATCH: Q: If an NCU claims the Maneuver Zone and the opponent plays Field Control, will this negate the attchment effect of For The Watch?
A: No. Field Control triggers when an NCU Claims the zone. In that specific event, Field Control would replace the zone effect upon being Claimed. If Jon’s unit was subsequently targeted for the effect, it would then be (again) replaced by the For The Watch effect, effectively bypassing the Field Control negative.

FUELED BY SLAUGHTER: Q: Does the “+1 additional Wounds for each of the Defender’s ranks” mean only ranks destroyed by the Attack or in total?
A: Total, not just ranks destroyed by the Attack.

Q: If a unit is destroyed by the Attack, how many destroyed ranks does it have?
A: Follow-up: A unit has as many destroyed ranks as is shown on its tray (i.e. 3 ranks for Infantry trays, 2 for Cavalry trays, and 1 for Solo trays).

FURIOUS SWING: Q: How does furious swing interact with abilities that block hits such as Resiliance. Do they prevent the Giant from dealing damage?
A: No. If the Giant generated any hits, it will cause wounds, regardless of whether the hits are subsequently blocked.

GANG-UP: Q: Does this affect only the unit with Gang-Up or do all friendly units engaging the enemy benefit?
A: ALL friendly units engaging the enemy can gain the benefits of Gang-Up, not just the unit with the Ability.

GIANT: Q: How does Giant’s ability which states that the Giant only suffers 1 wound per 2 unblocked hits interact with the Bolt Thrower’s ability that states: “for each unblocked Hit, Cavalry, Monster, and War Machine units suffer 2 Wounds“?
A: In this situation the Giant’s Ability takes precedence as 2 unblocked Hits were not generated.

Q: Can a Giant suffer more than 2 Wounds from failing Panic Tests if the damage was modified by abilities such as Initimidating Presence?
A: No. These abilities modify the Panic Tests total damage, which is capped at 2 Wounds by the Giant ability.

GILLY – THE WILDLING GIRL: Errata: Gilly only has to activate when her owner choses to do so. This is an exception from the general rule that every NCU and deployed combat unit must be activated in a round.

GO DOWN FIGHTING: Q: Can Go Down Fighting Ability trigger multiple times during the same attack?
A: Yes.
Q: Follow-up: Does it trigger when the last rank is destroyed?
A: Yes.

GOLDEN FIRE (Viserion): Q: Does this deal D3+1 Wound per remaining Rank, for each Hit or D3+1 Wound per remaining Rank regardless of the number of Hits?
A: No, you only roll one D3 to wound, regardless of the number of Hits.

HARSH CONDITIONS: Q: Who chooses which Abilities are lost?
A: The player who played Harsh Conditions.

INEXPLICABLE RETURN: Q: When moving an attachement around using cards or abilities, does the unit the attachement is removed from lose a wound in the process or is the attachment replaced by a regular model?
A: Using these effects would result in, effectively, the unit losing a Wound, as you are removing a model from the unit.

Q: How does this interact with other effects that return Attachments to units and/or redeploy the unit?
A: A copy of the Attachment would remain in the unit.

Q: Is it possible to attach a previously destroyed attachment multiple times to the same unit?
A: Yes, the condition is that it is a “previously destroyed Attachment”. Its current status is not factored into things, only that it has previous been destroyed.

INSIGNIFICANT: Q: Can a unit lose the Insignificant Ability? And, if they do, are they then worth Victory Points?
A: Yes. Insignificant is not an Innate Ability and can be lost/ cancelled by other effects, making the unit worth Victory Points until the Ability is restored.

INSPIRING PRESENCE: Q: Can Morale modified with Inspiring Presence further benefit from additional bonus/negatives?
A: Inspiring Presence only changes the base Morale of the unit. This is before any other modifiers.

INTERCEPT ORDERS: Q: What does “If able” mean?
A: If there is another eligible target, it must be chosen. If there are no other eligible targets, the original unit remains the target (this interaction happens due to the specific trigger of this card in relation to resolving its actual effect, meaning this card could be played when no “other” eligible target actually exists).

INTIMIDATING PRESENCE: Q: If a unit is engaged with multiple units with Intimidating Presence, do these effects stack?
A: No, effects of the same name never stack.

INTRIGUE AND SUBTERFUGE: Q: If this targets an NCU that has had an Ability resolve earlier in the Round, what happens?
A: If an Ability has already been triggered and resolved (such as a Once-ger-game that has already been activated that Round) the effect remains in play.

IRON RESOLVE: Q: Can this reduce the number of Wounds from a failed Panic Test to 0?
A: Yes.

JADE FIRE (Rhaegal): Q: Does this deal D3+1 Wound per remaining Rank for each Hit or D3+1 Wound per remaining Rank regardless of the number of Hits?
A: No, you only roll one D3 to wound, regardless of the number of Hits.

JAQEN H’GHAR – FOLLOWER OF THE RED GOD: Q: Does Jaqen lose the abilities copied with Choosing A Name if the copied NCU’s abilities are shut of by an affect like Intrigue And Subtefuge?
A: It depends on the order in which the units in question were affected. If an NCU lost all Abilities then there is nothing for Jaqen to copy; the unit has no Abilities. If Jaqen copied a unit and then that unit later lost its Abilities it wouldn’t affect Jaqen.

JAQEN H’GHAR: Q: Does Jaqen also count as having the name of the unit whose Influence he copied?
A: Yes. Replace all instances of that unit’s name in the Ability with “Jaqen H’ghar”

KINGSGUARD: Q: What happens if Joffrey is killed by an effect such as Expert Duellist and the unit is subsequently healed to 8 wounds?
A: Since Attachments cannot be returned by healing, you will need to replace the model with a proxied “generic” Kingsguard model.

LANNISTER JUSTICE: Q: Does this trigger multiple times during a Charge Action?
A: No. A Charge and its resulting Melee Attack are a single Action (see General FAQ).

Q: Does Lannister Justice trigger before declaring the target of a charge?
A: No, the target for a Charge must be determined when the Charge Action is declared(as there must be a legal target to declare the Action).

Q: Follow up question: what happens if the targeted unit dies from Lannister Justice?
A: The Charge will still have to be performed and will automatically fail.

LANNISTER SUPREMACY: Q: Does this Ability add +1 total Wounds on failing its Panic Test, or +1 Wounds per remaining rank in the unit with Lannister Supremacy?
A: +1 Wound per remaining rank.

LAST STAND: Q: Does this Attack benefit from the Abilities of any Attachments in the unit?
A: Yes, assuming they were destroyed by same Attack/effect that triggered the destruction of the unit.

LORD VARYS: Q: Can I use “Little Birds” to shift out of combat?
A: No, see General FAQ.

MARAUDER’S BLADES (House Clegane Mountain’s Men): Q: If the enemy is reduced to equal or fewer remaining ranks during the Attack, but before the Panic Test, will the test benefit from Vicious?
A: No. The bonus (+1 to Hit and Vicious) is checked at the start of the Attack.

MARGAERY TYRELL: Q: Do I need to restore a Wound to trigger the second part of her Ability (dealing a Wound?)
A: No.

MELISANDRE: Q: When does the unit influenced by Melisandre take the wounds: before or after the test?
A: The Wounds from her effect take place before the Panic Test. If a unit had only two Wounds remaining, this would immediately trigger them being destroyed.

MIGHTY SWING: Q: If the Giant’s Mighty Swing gains more attack dice, and generates more than one hit, do I roll more D3’s to wound?
A: No, you only roll one D3 to wound, regardless of the number of Hits.

MIND GAMES: Q: Could Mind Games copy a replacement effect ?
The zone effect would be replaced, the new effect would be resolved, and then Mind Games would trigger, copying the original effect of the zone.

Q: Follow up question – Generally speaking, how long does a zone replacement effect last?
Zone replacement effects last until resolution of the effect that caused them. Nothing ever “lingers” after resolution unless it specifically lists a time (end of Turn, end of Round, etc).

MOTIVATED BY COIN: Q: If I have multiple units with Motivated by Coin, and one of them loses their Abilities, can I use the Motivated by Coin Ability of another unit with the same name to target that unit?
A: Yes, as long as the units have the same name. For example, if you had two “Stormcrow Mercenaries” units and one lost all its Abilities, the other still provides a source of “1 Stormcrow Mercenaries unit
performs 1 Attack Action” (as, by wording, it can affect ANY “Stormcrow Mercenaries” unit).

OLENNA TYRELL: Q: If she uses her Ability on an NCU that has had an Ability resolve earlier in the Round, what happens?
A: If an Ability has already been triggered and resolved (such as a Once-ger-game that has already been activated that Round) the effect remains in play.

OUTFLANK: Q: How do units with Outflank interact with standard deployment? As one of my deployments, do I declare I am outflanking, or are they ignored entirely?
A: When the unit would be deployed (as part of standard deployment) usage of the Ability is declared, and the unit is then placed in Reserve instead of on the Battlefield.

Q: If an NCU claims the Maneuver Zone to replace its effect in order to deploy the unit with Outflank and the opponent plays Field Control, will this negate Outflank, preventing the unit from being deployed?
A: Yes since both Outflank and Field Control share the same trigger.

OUTRIDER’S BOW (Dothraki Outriders): Q: If I gain an Attack from an outside source (such as the Combat Zone) do I gain the benefits of Outrider’s Bow?
A: Outrider’s Bow checks for the Turn, not the Round. If the unit has not performed the Maneuver from Cavalry that Turn then they gain the benefits (which is most likely the case in these situations).

PERSEVERANCE & VALOR: Q: If the Wound restored by this Ability restores a rank, do I gain the benefits of that for the Attack?
A: Yes.

PETYR BAELISH: Q: If “Master of the Game” is used at the start of the Round, and Petyr later loses all Abilities, what happens?
A: “Master of the Game” has already been utilized. It will remain in effect that Round.

POISONED GIFTS: Q: If the unit does not have Pillage, do they still suffer Wounds from this Ability?
A: Yes.

PRICE OF FAILURE: Q: Do I still roll dice for this Attack?
A: Yes, dice are still rolled. Even though all Attacks automatically Hit, other effects based on die-results must still be checked.

QHORIN: Q: Does the use of Qhorin’s Sacrifice for the Cause grant a vp to the opponent?
A: No.

Q: Does the use if Qhorin’s Sacrifice for the Cause trigger “And Now His Watch Has Ended”?
A: Yes.

RAVEN FLOCK: Errata: The trigger of this ability should read as follows:
“When an enemy in Long Range performs an Attack, before resolving that Attack:”
Q: Can Raven Flok be used on a unit performing a Charge Action?
A: No. The Attack granted by a Charge Action is not a separate Attack Action (as per the 2021 FAQ/Errata) and therefore does not meet the ability’s requirement.

REGROUP AND REFORM: Q: When moving an attachement around using cards or abilities, does the unit the attachement is removed from lose a wound in the process or is the attachment replaced by a regular model?
A: Using these effects would result in, effectively, the unit losing a Wound, as you are removing a model from the unit.

RENLY’S PROTECTOR: Q: Can this Ability be used with other Abilities/effects with the same trigger?
A: Yes, as this is not an Order or Tactics Card.

RESILIENCE: Q: Can Resilience block hits from the Ginat’s Furious Swing ability, thereby preventing it from causing any damage?
A: No. If the Giant generated any hits, it will cause wounds, regardless of whether the hits are subsequently blocked.

RIDE BY ATTACK: Q: Can Ride By Attack replace a cavalry unit’s free maneuver? Meaning the Cavalry unit activate, play ride by attack and then use it’s action to do something else such as performing a Charge?
A: No. Ride By Attack replaces a unit’s selected action and the cavalry’s free Maneuver is not its selected action for that Activation.

SABOTAGE AND SUBVERT: Q:What happens if there are multiple Attachments with this Ability on the same unit?
A: Effects with the same name never stack. Only one would be applied.

SENTINEL: Q: If the Defender is destroyed, when do I measure range?
A: Before removing the Defender’s tray.

SPREAD FEAR: Q: Can a failed Panic Test from Spread Fear trigger another instance of Spread Fear?
A: Yes, these are two separate events, each with their own window for triggering Abilities/effects.

STAND UNITED, BROTHERS!: Q: Do I restore +2 Wounds if I remove Wounds from Jon Snow’s unit, or only if his unit is the recipient of the Wounds?
A: Only if he is the recipient.

Q: Can I remove 0 models and restore 2 Wounds if targeting Jon Snow’s unit?
A: Yes.

Q: Do removed cavalry models allow the beneficiary of the card to heal 3 Wounds or 1 Wound removed model?
A: The unit may only restore 1 Wound per cavalry model (or any other multi wounds model for that matter).

SUPPLY AID: Q: Can I choose to remove 0 models and restore 1 Wound?
A: Yes.

TACTICAL REPOSITION: Q: Can I use this Ability to shift out of Combat?
A: No. See General FAQ.

TAKE THE BLACK: Q: How does this interact with effects that return Characters to units and/or redeploy the unit?
A: A copy of the Character would remain in the Night’s Watch unit.

TAKING A NEW NAME: Q: If I replace this model with one that had an Order it had already used that Round, can I use that Order? What about Once-per-game Abilities/effects?
A: The model is treated exactly as it was prior in the Round, including used Orders/Abilities.

TARGARYEN SUPREMACY: Q: Does add +1 total Wounds on failing its Panic Test, or +1 Wounds per remaining rank in the unit?
A: +1 Wound per remaining rank.

TAUNT: Q: How does Taunt interact with Abilities/effects that trigger at the start of a unit’s Activation (such as the Maneuver from Cavalry)?
A: In this case Simultaneous Actions rule comes into effect. The Active Player’s effect (usually the Cavalry Maneuver) in this case will resolve first. This can lead to a situation where the unit no longer
has Line of Sight to the unit with Taunt, thus would not be able to be affected by the Ability (per its text).

THE FIRE THAT BURNS AGAINST THE COLD: Q: What happens when a unit that has The Fire that Burns Against the Cold attached to it, is targeted by an ability such as War Cry, which adds multiple condition tokens at once?
A: Each instance of a token being placed creates an instance for this effect to trigger (and fully resolve) before the other.

THE SHIELD OF THE REALMS OF MEN: Q: Does the attached bonus of blocking +1 Hit apply to the Attack that triggered the card?
A: No, the card only attaches after the Attack has been resolved.

THE SWORD IN THE DARKNESS: Q: Does the attached bonus of +1 Attack Die apply to the Attack that triggered the card?
A: Yes.

THENN SUPREMACY: Q: Does this Ability add +1 total Wounds on failing its Panic Test, or +1 Wounds per remaining rank in the unit with Thenn Supremacy?
A: +1 Wound per remaining rank.

TYWIN LANNISTER: Q: In what order are the individual bullet points of the “Rains of Castamere” resolved?
A: In the order of their owner’s choosing.

UNCONTROLLED RAGE: Q: Does the Charge Action the unit has to perfrom when failing its Moral Test use up the unit’s action for the round or is it a free action?
A: The Charge is the unit’s Action for the Activation and not a free Action.

UNTRAINED MASSES: Q: Untrained Masses states that the unit “… cannot grant Victory Points”. Is this the same as Insignificant (ignoring Victory through Combat) or is this meant to prevent more types of sources of Victory Points?
A: Ignoring “Victory Through Combat” and “cannot grant Victory Points” are not the same rule (though “cannot grant Victory Points” also covers Victory Through Combat by nature of its effect. It is important to expressly look at each effect that is causing the additional VP and what it is actually affecting. Some effects generate VP on triggered conditions, independent of the unit that triggered them (Destroy X Combat Units, generic example) whereas others would grant direct bonuses based on the unit.

VASSEL: Errata: This ability should read as follows:
“This model counts as [name/commander] for all abilities and effects.”

WALDER FREY: Q: How does “The Late Walder Frey” interact with Abilities/effects that could grant additional Actions, but not actual “Activations”?
A: The Late Walder Frey only checks to see if everything else has Activated, it does not interact with “free” Actions.

WENDAMYR: Q: Can I use “Raven Tending” to shift out of combat?
A: No, see General FAQ.

WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE: Errata: The trigger of this card should read as follows:
When a friendly unit would be destroyed.

Q: If the destroyed unit had less Wounds than the D3 roll, does the unit gain those Wounds?
A: Yes.

Q: Follow-up question: Do these gained Wounds count as being restored Wounds for game purposes?
A: Yes. Although the words “restore Wounds” are not written, there was a net gain of Wounds from this effect.

Q: May the same unit be targeted by multiple copies of What Is Dead May Never Die?
A: A unit can be targeted by What is Dead May Never Die’s initial effect multiple times (as each instance would be a separate trigger event for multiples of the Tactics Card), but once the card becomes attached the Ability Stacking rules come into play, in this situation preventing the effect of WiDMND from “stacking”, eg, you’re not going to suffer 2D3 each time.

WHATEVER MAY COME: Q: Can I immediately expend the Weakened token generated by this Ability on the Attack that triggered it?
A: Yes.

WILL OF THE ONE TRUE KING: Q: Can I target the same unit with each of these effects?
A: Yes.
