Does the Hobbit archer horn give +1 courage for all allies, same as the elven, human and bad guy horns? The white dwarf Reinforcements article says "Only Elves, Men, Orcs, Uruk-hai and
Dwarves can be upgraded to be Hornblowers"... Yet the LOME expansion has a 'signal horn' upgrade for 20 points....though that hobbit upgrade is missing under the Arnor list...as is the hornblower upgrade for Arnor warriors. I prefer to upgrade a Hobbit to hornblower for 24 points than a Warrior of Arnor for 28... Can anyone clarify..?

No, in the Ruin of Arnor sourcebook it specifically says "all Hobbits". Besides, the Shire can't ally.

I'm almost certain that the Hobbit archers in the Arnor army list are supposed to not have the Signal Horn upgrade.

It does say "all hobbits on the field of battle", but the Arnor Sourcebook came out before the new Horns rule, so Warriors of Arnor horns aren't mentioned either---also no mention of the horn upgrade in LOME. So it seems that hobbits were among the first to get a 'courage horn'. Were they purposely left out of the upgrade list, or just overlooked? It is only a savings of four points...but that is four spear upgrades. Can a hornblower fight? If it frees up an Arnor Warrior where a hobbit will do, I'll take it. Is this a gray area, up for interpretation and houserules, or can I know one way or another? Thanks for the patience on this fine point.
