Cheers lads,
LOTR is one of my go-to rules sets for skirmish gaming. Its easy to pick up, gives a very engaging game (unless you play it according to GW's tournament play marketing paradigm in which case you will have so many models on the table that it will bog down
) and can be adapted to almost anything with a little thought. I didn't bother with points balance or anything for this scenario, just fudged a few stats and it worked out fine (Capt. Dieter for example is based on Boromir). I'm hoping to get a small Goblin warband finished in the next week or so who's chieftan is rumored to have a taste for pork...
@Rob: The batrep is actually on my friend's website. His layout is a little odd but it works. You should check out the rest of it, particularly the ACW naval games.
