The last line of the rules entry is especially noteworthy, and makes move limit modifiers unique. This comes up regularly with {{Card|Radagast, The Brown}} - if the Free Peoples player kills Radagast, they will retain the move limit bonus without giving the Shadow player an opportunity to cycle 2 extra cards. | The last line of the rules entry is especially noteworthy, and makes move limit modifiers unique.

* '''The state of the adventure path''' - Are you ahead or behind? How much twilight will the next site likely provide? Would your opponent be able to double on their next turn? Will minions stop roaming if you move again? Are you and your opponents far enough apart that moving again will have no impact on the outcome of the game? These are some things to think about as you decide whether to make another move. | * '''The state of the adventure path''' - Are you ahead or behind?

In general, the move from site 2 to 3 in the regroup phase is safest due to the low twilight, sanctuary healing next turn, and fact that many minions are still roaming at site 3. Having 0 or 1 twilight in the pool and no minions on the table invites an opportunity to move again since your opponent will almost always have fewer options now than next turn. This is especially true when your opponents' minions stopped roaming this site (since Shadow hands are typically among their strongest at this point, so there may be less to worry about if your opponent couldn't make an impact here) and on site 7 or 8 (when your opponents typically need more cards in hand than one reconcile can provide to use all the twilight the next site would offer). | |||

As stated above, the default move limit is two. There are Free Peoples cards capable of raising that limit, Shadow cards capable of lowering that limit, and sites capable of doing either. {{Card|Enraged Southron}} is notable for being the only Shadow card that raises the move limit, while {{Card|News From the Mark}} is the only card that can increment the move limit by 2 instead of 1. | As stated above, the default move limit is two.

Note that as long as you are able to pay all costs, some of these actions can be made several times in a single turn. {{Card|Ruined Capitol}} in particular has only a spot cost, so using it several times can prevent a surprise | ||

Whether or not to move in the regroup phase is a decision that must be carefully weighed by the Free Peoples player. Usually. While the cards above allow the Shadow player to reduce the move limit (effectively forcing the Free Peoples player to stay put), there are others which force the Free Peoples player to move. These actions are still governed by the move limit. | Whether or not to move in the regroup phase is a decision that must be carefully weighed by the Free Peoples player. Usually.
