Hi, we need clarification regarding situation happened during last GO at Lure.

Company with Tom Bombadil was attacked by Buthrakaur the Green/Umagaur the Pale. Opponent wanted to tap ally to cancel attack but what happens with following attacks of orcs/trolls? In my opinion company faced big guy, attacked was cancelled but small guys can be played.

Also what happens with cards like Foul Fumes/Long Winter for example? Tap Tom prevents from bouncing but what with tapping the sites?

If it cancels a hazard before it is resolved then the attack of Buthrakaur the Green/Umagaur the Pale is not even considered faced. For short-events it is only way to cancel them.

Tom Bombadil may not to cancel a returning action from Foul Fumes/Long Winter. The action targets a company but Foul Fumes/Long Winter itself does not.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.
