Dune: War for Arrakis – Smugglers

While the Smugglers are neutral, each Smuggler Harvester still on the board gives the Harkonnen 1 spice point, even in a Deep Desert Area. They’re placed during vehicle placement, and the Harkonnen cannot add them later using cards or House actions (pp. 3–4).

Yes. If an Atreides Legion ends its movement there, including after a victorious battle, it captures the Harvester and removes it permanently; move Staban Tuek down 1 step on the Prescience track for each one captured (pp. 4–5).

They ally when any Prescience marker reaches or passes Staban Tuek on the Prescience track. The Smuggler Harvesters and Carryall are permanently removed, the Smugglers Base and their figures enter play, and the Atreides gains the Smugglers Action die (p. 5).

Not with its usual results: the die cannot be used to play a Planning card, except when it shows Mentat. On Mentat, you may play 1 Planning card or draw 2, keep 1, and discard the other (p. 6).

Each Drone Ornithopter Planning card adds a Smuggler Ornithopter to the Smugglers board, but the Atreides can place and use them only after the Smugglers ally with them. When moving a Legion, the Atreides may remove one from a connected Air Zone to move or attack up to 2 Areas away (p. 7).

While the Smugglers are neutral, the Atreides places and resolves Wormsign in Desert Areas containing Smuggler Harvesters. Once allied, no Wormsign is placed in Areas with Smuggler Units, and Coriolis Storms do not affect them (pp. 3–4).
