Which Event cards count as an attack for political purposes?
Free Peoples: The Spirit of Mordor, Faramir's Rangers and all the Ents Awake cards. Shadow: Dreadful Spells and Return to Valinor. Cards such as Help Unlooked For, Grond, The Fighting Uruk-hai, The Ringwraiths Are Abroad, The Black Captain Commands and Corsairs of Umbar only allow an army to start an attack, so the army's attack is what counts. The designer said cards that cause casualties and had 'Attack...' in the original text count as attacks. A later community reply (Krieghund, 2012) disagrees and says only cards that start a battle, such as the Ent cards and Dead Men of Dunharrow, advance the track, so check with your group.
