Thanks. I was confused because the example includes Gondor & Rohan which are the same as the 4 player designations for nation groups (Gondor Player & Rohan Player). Since this is different than I though, I have some more questions.

3 player, Free Peoples player:

So if "Move Armies" or "Recruit Reinforcements" action is taken, and split between two nations, both nations are ineligible for my next action die, correct?

Correct

So a specific Free Peoples mixed army (for moving and attacking) is treated as a separate nation, even from other mixed armies, correct?

I would not say that it's treated "as a Nation" -- but yes.

May I take an action with a specific nation (or mixed army), pass my next action because I have fewer dice, and then take another action with that same nation?

Good question. For analogy with the 4 players rules, I'd say no.

3 player, Shadow players:

When I played a 3 player the other day, the Sauron player manage to muster all of her units but one regular army. She asked if she could muster that army & one of the Saruman players pieces. She can't, correct? (I let her anyway.)

Correct. She could have mustered a Nazgul, though.
