Army Encounter
Hobbits can be encountered only in Arthedain, specifically hexes 1109 and 1209 (along with one or two others).
Free Peoples: The Hobbiton clan of Hobbits has been discovered to provide no combat bonus whatsoever to the army it's attached to. Other clans of hobbits may or may not provide a combat bonus, but this one most certainly doesn't. They do, however, increase the morale of the army they're attached to each and every turn, and this bonus to morale remains even after the hobbits leave the army. (Bobbins)
Neutral: ?
Dark Servants: Hobbits can be encountered by Dark Servant armies, but they give no options and have no effect on the army or attached characters. (Bobbins)
There are two kinds of hobbits - Buck Hill hobbits and Hobbiton hobbits. The first are found at 1109, the second at 1209.
Buck Hill hobbits will join a Free Peoples army, providing a combat bonus and a free 'recon' each turn.
Hobbiton hobbits will join an army and provide a combat bonus, along with a boost to morale of 5-15 points each turn. The Hobbiton clan of Hobbits has been discovered to provide no combat bonus whatsoever to the army it's attached to. Other clans of hobbits may or may not provide a combat bonus, but this one most certainly doesn't. They do, however, increase the morale of the army they're attached to each and every turn, and this bonus to morale remains even after the hobbits leave the army.
