v7.5! Thankyou to BGG User Taion, who cleaned up and consolidated some of the language in the core rules and reference sheets for me, especially the Mustering section. Also a couple of slight rewordings for the Elrond and Galadriel cards. Happy gaming everyone! www.orderofgamers.com/games/war-of...
