Much to Expect from the Assault on Osgiliath

By lleimmoen, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

I was like that yesterday and the day before, but now I belive that the only article we're gonna get is the "now released" article, and no previews.

I hope not! If its shipping to stores it'll probably be avaliable next week and it would really be borderline sadistic not to give us something in essentially 2/3 weeks by the time it's released (not counting the FAQ)

Should be cool one as a HON. I feel it. Cannot wait

But that's exactly what has been happening lately. The great thing was we've been getting more articles again but they're usually about the faq or saga, not the upcoming packs. So whilst I desperately want to know the hero, I'm doubtful we'll see it here before someone spoils it.

Also the upcoming page has just been updated but it can be the pack had been heading to stores for some time already. Last time it only took like a day or between the update and someone saying he had got it. I actually hope that will happen soon, though I'd rather have a teasing preview article first.

I hope you're right, even though I don't really care, since there's also this guy who said he'll be getting it tomorrow morning, and hopefully will give us the spoiler as soon as he does.

well looking at the front page several games have pack previews updates etc.,so perhaps we will not see one until it is released

it is often the case that some US players get the pack before the preview

That will be clutch, seems like all the cards are normally spoiled on BGG and sometimes here well before we see anything from an article

Who's the guy? What's his address? [slowly pulling a balaclava from the wardrobe]

Don't remember the username, read the last page of the european packs problems thread.

Is your signature about Fingolfin?

:)

Its asfaloth. He said he lives in spain and will get AoO tommorow. Lucky......:)

So did i hear somewhere that this quest is going to have some kind of unique mechanic? Or no?

In the original reveal article, they mentioned that we will have to literally obtain "osgiliath" traited locations during the course of the quest wich seems seems unique

Let's call the Spanish Inquisition to question him. I want every bit of info I can get. :)

That means very different from most quests, a side thing going on while doing the quest, which is very good I think. Makes it more complicated and for me, the more complicated a game is, the better.

This is funny. I am the first surprised because I could have AoO before than USA players and translated into spanish :wacko:. It's really strange. When is AoO supposed to be released in the USA?

The release here in Spain is the 2nd August, but according to the store i'll get my preorder (that includes AoO and others games) the 1st, just tomorrow morning or noon. Sometimes this difference of a day happens because of the carrier.

If it is finally as I hope and as the store says, of course I'll put all the information about the hero and more spoilers over here.

greetings and sorry about my english.

Never worry about your English, it is more than good enough, especially when spelling out the cards from the pack. No seriously, thanks a lot in advance. Cheers.

Any kind of spoilers and this board will go crazy; thanks for your help

I would like to see a Gondorian Siege Weapon that gives some location management to Tactics, something like:

Gondorian Trebuchet

Sphere: Tactics

Cost: 3

Weapon

Attach to a Hero with the Gondor trait. Restricted. Limit 1 per Hero.

Exhaust Gondorian Trebuchet and attached hero to discard a location with 2 or fewer progress points remaining

I also like the idea of destroying locations as a Tactics player, rather than exploring them.

Lore

Yes, more traps, and probably Anborn. It is a bit far-fetched, but I'd like to see a trap that makes resources, like: once the attached enemy leaves play, add a number of resources equal to its threat to one of your heroes (perhaps a bit too strong, but something like that - and making sense also, like getting information out of someone, though that would thematically more likely transformed into cards).

These please! I love these ideas! Make it happen FFG! Obey me, or face my powerlessness on any influence whatsoever!

On spoilers:

I've thought of something different that I'm going to do with the next 2 APs.

I'm actually NOT going to read any preview or spoiler until I get my greedy hands on the pack myself.

Then I'm going to open it and go through the hero & cards myself and go "oooooh! & aaaaah!"

I'll have the highest anticipation ever if I manage to resist the spoilers! :)

Hi guys...

If you dont like Spoilers... dont continue reading... ;)

I'm from Catalonia (Spain), and just now i've received AoO... yes, i'm looking to the eyes of the new hero...

Coughhhh...coughhh... who was waiting for... cougghhh... Faramir ?

P.D.: my English is very oxidized...

ok, post something for us who like spoilers :P

ok, post something for us who like spoilers :P

Ok... I'm at work, so I'll do what I can...

Hero: Faramir :D

Sphere: Lore

Traits: Gondor - Ranger - Noble

Ranged

Ability: (Free traduction from spanish) Faramir receive +1 Attack for every enemy in the staging area.

@Noccus

"Obey me, or face my powerlessness..." is classic.

@Sparrowpisuke

So it is coming, thanks, but what a disappointment right from the start it seems, what are Faramir's stats, please? I didn't expect (or hoped) that Faramir will be a killing tool in a Lore sphere, it will probably work just fine but I am surprised again.

@Asfaloth

Hurry, or your fellow country man will spoil them ahead of you... (or not if it is indifferent to you, of course, you've had our thanks in advance anyway, and there's always much to add, confirm or rebuke)

@Spanish distribution

Well done!

@Central European distribution

Get a hint, will you?
