During the Movement Round, may move one token group 2 territories instead of one; or may move two token groups 1 territory each.
If the Fremen control Carthag or Arrakeen, the Fremen may move one token group 3 territories; or may move up to three token groups 1 territory each.
(Note: This wording is designed to allow a token group to be moved twice.)

This idea was first reported in the thread Ideas for Adjusting the Fremen and BG, but it was among other ideas so I believe it was lost.
Thematically this rule makes sense because the Fremen are tribal (would move as separate groups) and are most comfortable on Dune (should have better movement than other factions).
Is there a need to modify the Fremen? This is certainly a heavily discussed issue. Assuming yes, this house rule changes the stated rules in a minimal way. The added rule explanation is to deal with 'ornithopters' issue, which is certainly a big issue. My original thought regarding ornithopters was to restrict movement to only two token groups, first 2 territory movement, then 1 territory. The wording I decided above was to be similar with the original wording and to make holding Carthag and Arrakeen more attractive to the Fremen where a bonus of +1 movement is less enticing than the +2 movement that other factions receive.
