Summary of Goblin Band & Drummers support Sun, 12 August 2007 19:53
(Courtesy of ColtsFan)

Goblin Drummer (figure)
1. Can only be embedded in a Goblin unit
2. Replaces 1 figure of that unit when it is embedded
3. Makes the unit inherently Bold (a la Dwarven units)
4. The unit may still receive Support from other units to go up +1 Bold
5. May receive additional Bold from a Landmark to go up +1 Bold
6. May receive additional Bold from a Lore Card to go up +1 Bold
7. May receive any combination of #4, #5, or #6 and go from Bold 1 to Bold 4, which meane ignoring up to 4 flags
8. Embedded Drummers do not affect the number of dice rolled nor how they hit in battle nor the number of hexes the unit may move

Goblin Band (unit)
1. Consists of Goblin Bass Drum (banner bearer) and 3 Goblin Drummers
2. Since it has at least one Goblin Drummer, it becomes inherently Bold like any other Goblin unit with a Goblin Drummer imbed (does not cummulate - see the above description)
3. Goblin Bands give ALL friendly units 1/2 Support (called "support presence") in the same section of the battlefield.
4. Sitting on the seams gives support presence to both sections.
5. ALL friendly adjacent units (except webbed units) give support presence as well. Therefore any combination of 2 bands in the same section or 2 adjacent units give full Support which equals one level of Bold
6. No matter how much support presence is available, a unit can never receive more than 1 Level of Bold from support.
7. Goblin Bands may give support presence to each other BUT may not give support presence to themselves*
8. A Goblin Band adjacent to a friendly unit gives full support to that unit (1/2 from the music, 1/2 from being physically adjacent)
9. Goblin Bands fight and move like typical green goblin foot units: 2 dice in melee, no ranged attack, move 2 hexes and battle.

What if a standard combat unit which is in the same battlefield section as a full band unit ("support presence") but not adjacent to the band, however, is adjacent to one other friendly unit (again "support presence") does this constitute one level of Bold (1/2 bold for band in same section and 1/2 bold for one support unit)? #8 somewhat infers this, but not explicitly. "8. A Goblin Band adjacent to a friendly unit gives full support to that unit (1/2 from the music, 1/2 from being physically adjacent)"

Thank you! Very Happy

What you are asking, I think, is addresses by point #5. One unit adjacent to another gives support presence. That is why in the base game, support is only given once two units are adjacent to the same unit. So the Band acts as the "first" unit giving everyone half support in that section. Any two adjacent units in that same section, are fully supported.

So to clarify the example, in order to be fully supported, a unit needs ONE of the following:
A) Two adjacent friendly units
B) One friendly Goblin Band somewhere in the same section AND one adjacent friendly unit
C) Two friendly Goblin Bands somewhere in the same section

Point #8 just illustrates that the music of the band gives support presence and the fact the band is adjacent gives the typically unit-to-unit support presence for a totally supported unit. (which falls under category B above since it is both a Band and an adjacent unit).
