Am I missing something?  This has no restriction against travelling there, so I can't think of any reason why I would trigger the action.  Also, playing solo Assault on Osgiliath seems remarkably easy if you choose this as your starting location.  As long as you can defend attacks on turn 1 and 2, quest for about 7 on turn 2, and don't draw another osgiliath location, you win.  Is it really as easy as it seems?  After a couple of times playing this quest, I have come to the conclusion that either I'm playing something massively wrong, or this quest is just completely broken in solo.

Reading through the quest card, I have to agree.  It is definitely a LOT easier in Solo due to the very reduced chance of getting another Osgiliath location in play before claiming the West Gate.
