Hey Diablo
one thing is a little bit unclear to me, concerning the garrisons.
Frequently Asked Rules
The Home Regions
On the board are delineated home regions for each of the nine houses. They are the colored borders surrounding various areas, including that house's starting shield. During the course of play, that house will recieve a +1 bonus in all combat that takes place in an are within this region. There is no bonus to support coming from one of these regions, so it is never possible to gain this +1 advantage more than once per battle. The bonus only applies if the actual battle is located within the home region - in other words, the defender's army must be the one located in the bonus area. Because of this, the home region bonus never applies to ships, as fleets cannot be attacked in port, and no sea areas are part of any house's home region. Additionally, these bonuses are not transferrable. You cannot offer another player the use of your regional bonus, and if two players are fighting in a third player's home region, there would be no effect.
Garrisons
Garrisons are special tokens that provide extra defense to the home area of each House.
Each House starts the game with a Garrison token on its home area. Garrisons are not units, so they do not count toward Supply limits and may never be assigned an order.
If a home area containing a Garrison is attacked, the strength of the Garrison (the value printed on the token) is added to the defender’s initial Combat Strength (see page 17). If there are no units defending a location with a Garrison token, combat still occurs as normal as if the Garrison was a single unit.
If a Garrison is defeated in combat (whether defending by itself or with other friendly units), it is removed from the game, regardless of the number of Sword or Fortification icons on House cards played in the combat.
Players may not assign orders to an area containing only a Garrison. A Garrison’s strength is only used when its area is attacked, not for support or any other purpose. Garrisons are purely defensive forces.
Once a Garrison is removed, it can be rebuildt while mustering for two mustering points. An upgrade of other unit types to a Garrison is not possible. Every player can only possess one single Garrison.
Due to the following points:
a) One player can only have one garrison and
b) A player can rebuild the garrison for two mustering units
someone could think that in a hypotetical situation when Lannister takes over Pyke and GJ takes over Winterfell that GJ (without a garrison now) can muster his own garrison in Winterfell. Would this be possible or are garrisons only allowed in one's capital?
