When the last character in a company is being discarded/eliminated during the movement/hazard phase, can any cards (e.g. Smoke Rings or short-event Khamul) still be played within the phase?

Playing a character under GI does not require an existing company at all.
So yes.
(However I cannot guarantee that there is no conflicting rulings).

Hmm, this seems to be a little bit tricky. One had to find out when exactly the site gets discareded or goes to location deck as target site for sure would be needed.

case, on-guard cards may still be played on the site.
I think that in this case it only matters for sites that otherwise would be discraded. If character is played outside company (under GI) it may be played everywhere.

hmmm that would mean one can use We have Come To Kill anytime to create a new company at a character's home site or haven.

That would mean that one can use We Have Come to Kill to create a new company at [-me_rl-], [-me_sh-], [-me_bh-].

If you have no company at a site, you are not at a site. Therefore Chance Meeting, and, concordantly, We Have Come to Kill, may not be played.
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.

No wonder.
It is difficult to play a character at site under DI (as it is in case of ACM) without company at the same site. WHCtK additionaly allows to play a character under GI.

P.S.
Technically you are player. Your companies are (or are not) at site.

May I use this card to bring my ringwraith in play ? And what will be the amount of his mind ? May I use ACM at any time during my turn (during movement hazard phase to assign the new character a strike; will this increase the number of hazards) ? May I play a character (during organisaton phase) at any shadow-, borderhold and ruin & lairs also if the site is not in play ?


No, We have Come to Kill can't be used to bring in a Ringwraith. The same restriction applies that you must be at the site.

Another reason for not taking some records as strict rules but only as brief description.
(Otherwise all test of gold ring at Barad-dûr would be at -6: -3 per site's special ability, -3 per Lidless Eye rules).

so in the end,

can you bring a 2nd character at his home site (ruins,shadow or border) during the organisation phase with WhCtK while the site card is not yet in play?

any ruling on this?

1.
I do not know who exactly Van Norton was/is :oops: and how official his words are. I guess that he was affiliate of ICE.

2.
"The same restriction applies that you must be at the site."
Does not make a sense if read literally.

3.
If it means: "a company must be at site" it makes a sense. In this case character cannot be brought in play at site without player's company.

4.
Even if (3) is true, it is an arbitrary statement (no because no). Not something that would be concluded from exiting text of card and/or from rules. De facto errata.
