Does this mean that heroes can select wargear from whatever your entire battle company might have access to, regardless of the current roster or are they restricted to whatever options your current battle company has access to?
(ie: If you only have Warriors of Rohan in your battle company, your heroes do not have access to Heavy Armour or horses because you do not have any Rohan Royal Guard or any Riders of Rohan.)

Is the promotion strict in its progression or can a model be eligible for a path even if their equipment is slightly different?
--> A Warrior of Rohan has a Throwing Spear and a Shield.
Are they eligible to promote into their choice of Rider of Rohan w/ Throwing Spear or Rohan Royal Guard because they have a shield that fits both requirements? Is your only hope for promoting to a Rohan Royal Guard that you never give them additional wargear? What if it is a Warrior of Rohan with nothing but Bow & Throwing Spear, can they still promote to Rider of Rohan? If so, do they lose the Throwing Spear even if it is compatible with the new profile?

Wargear & Equipment "Heroes are much less limited by what wargear they may select, and may purchase any wargear that is available to any member of their Battle Company at the given cost (see page 12)" Does this mean that heroes can select wargear from whatever your entire battle company might have access to, regardless of the current roster or are they restricted to whatever options your current battle company has access to? (ie: If you only have Warriors of Rohan in your battle company, your heroes do not have access to Heavy Armour or horses because you do not have any Rohan Royal Guard or any Riders of Rohan.) Gaining Experience & Promotions A model, when it achieves 5 experience, has a chance to promote into different models depending on its equipment loadout. Is the promotion strict in its progression or can a model be eligible for a path even if their equipment is slightly different? --> A Warrior of Rohan has a Throwing Spear and a Shield. Are they eligible to promote into their choice of Rider of Rohan w/ Throwing Spear or Rohan Royal Guard because they have a shield that fits both requirements?

This has been confirmed to indeed be the 'theoretical' company, not your specific current group. Any equipment available to any profile on that page in the book, so you can upgrade your Rohirrim to have heavy armour, purchase horses etc. from the start.

In the spirit of the game, I wouldn't be too restrictive here. If the warrior at least has the necessary equipment, they should qualify for the relevant promotion. After all, a Warrior of Rohan with bow and throwing spear is still a Warrior of Rohan with bow too. I could see the reasoning that when the more specific option is also listed (Warriors of Rohan with shield and throwing spear versus just the shield), that options should perhaps be used.. but I wouldn't want to enforce that rule. Carrying over the equipment, if the promotion can use it, seems sensible enough too. Not sure what the official ruling on this one would be, but most answers I've seen tend to go for the "don't be too strict" resolution.

Experience A warrior can gain at most 2 XP per scenario. A hero can gain 1 per wound it deals in addition to other sources. Does a hero gain 1 xp per wound removed from the enemy model or is it 1 xp per wounding hit? (ie: A model rolls 3 dice that each get a result that would force a wound on their opposing model. The opposing model has 1 wound on their profile and 0 fate. Does the rolling model get 3 XP or 1 XP? I am under the impression that a model should only ever earn as much XP from a model as the model has available wounds and the opposing model had 1 wound and 1 fate. The difference being that instead of 'wounding-hits' granting XP, it is 'wounds-removed'. Otherwise, cavalry could end up getting an incredible amount of XP off of a 1-wound model because of the number of dice that Cavalry can dish out.
