The only thing relevant is whether the company has been attacked by orcs before, no matter which type (aa or not) of the attack, I think. So, +3 applies.

Hero and Minion decks may include items of the other alignment which may be played counting only half (and having their card texts ignored).
Can Hero / Minion decks include Fallen-Wizard items (Keys of Orthanc) under similar conditions (ignore card effect, have the MPs halved)?

If both players have included this card in their decks, and the first player has just played it (and removed it from play afterwards), can the second player still play their version? Essentially, if a unique card is removed from the game, is its uniqueness still considered being in play?

That's a great article, indeed (not because of me being kindly mentioned ;) Apart of an excellent description of the game and the event I learnt a lot about fanship and fandom, too (which I wasn't really aware of before, but now do agree!) and about personal backgrounds as TCKs. Excellent and enjoya...

I have one of them. Don't think they were rarer than the other ones. Probably sold out faster as the illustration is so famous,.

I support the committee's proposal!

There is still a few weeks running an exhibition in Brittany of John Howe's artwork, not all ME-related, but much, it seems:

Roman museums will be staging a big Tolkien exhibition next year, https://www.imuseidiroma.it/news/mostra-tolkien-gnam-2023/ As this article suspects, the Italian government is intending to draw abusive support from it for its populist and nationalist agenda. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
