Title: Lord of the Ring Skirmish Game
Post by: Phil Portway on 30 September 2017, 12:21:20 PM
Dave & I went round Harry's last night & watch Dave throw more ones any one could in one evening lol

The scenario was to get Theoden off the other end of the table (no time limit), and for the Forces of Evil to capture or kill him. He had 36 Rohan which would test at half strength for morale, and another Character. The Easterlings had 6 Kataphrakts, 5 Archers, 5 Warriors & a Captain with two 13 man units (with Captains) of Haradrim.

We used the LotR rules

All of the Army of Evil were all freshly painted, so I did not rate our success, but......

Harry the Harad, deploy his units blocking the way to the bridge, the Easterlings entered the table turn 1 and the Rohan started on table. Casualties -(face down are dead, face up are stunned)

Turn 1

All the Rohan are in melee, the  Easterling warriors come and secure the northern end of the bridge.

At this point, my camera was full,  but the Rohan took 4 more casualties and Theoden failed his own morale, so was captured.

Win to the Forces of Evil

Good to see a game of LoTR being played- one of my favourite systems. I was hoping that AoS would have borrowed more from it.
