When this happens:

[Zoltan]

You are about to roll for your next terrain piece. Before you roll you notice that there are 3 or more pieces in one half of the table. When you roll you use the 12-34-56 outcome for the other half of the table.

[Ramses II]

Spot on Zoltan. This ensures a slightly better distribution of terrain in the two table halves. 

The re-roll is used where the next terrain piece won’t fit in the indicated sector - and both dice are re-rolled. This ensures that more terrain hits the table where it would otherwise have been discarded. 

[Hazelbark]

Exactly there has been attempt in v3, to increase the possibility that terrain may matter.

[MC_Delicatessen]

How could there ever be more than 3 (more terrain pieces on one side of the table)?

The “or more” part is surely impossible given this rule.

[fdunadan]

Not impossible, but rather rare : if defender place village + mandatory terrain + 3 others. that's 5 terrain and 4 of them have a 50% chance of being in his half of table so 12,5% of having 3 of them + village in the defender's half. and the chances grow when you take more terrains.
By experience, it had happened that 5 terrains were in one half of table an none in the other. More often, only one terrain and all the others in the other half.

I agreed with Fdunadan. In fact, it's a translation mistake, frech version (The Version) says "si un coté comprend 3 terrains de plus...". Or maybe it's a precaution against brits unhonestly....

"Or more" doesn't need to be there.

If you play it through with counters it soon becomes clear.

Lionelrus just likes to blame the English for translation problems. A wind up, but only in good spirit.

We have extra to make it look like we understand very little.
If you read the french part of the forum in Google translate you will see the french had problems understanding the french.

the french version is "si une moitié de table comprend 3 terrains de plus que l'autre" so there is "three more terrains than..." and there is no "3 or more..." for an acute translation.

The rule still works as written... just regard the fact it covers what to do in some additional situations which are actually impossible as a free little bonus
