A return to Middle-earth: First Age battle action

[James Morris]

After an absence of a few months, I decided it was high time to get the Middle-earth collection out again.  Paul W and I set up a game using my own Midgard rules (still in playtesting) with his Elven force vs my Orc host.  Despite having a Balrog for a general AND assistance from a nine-year old throwing the dice, the Orcs got a whuppin' while trying to capture the Elven watchtower.

It was good fun getting another big battle in and we managed to play to a conclusion within two hours.

Full report and pics are on the blog:

Thank you!

And cheers for reading to the end!  The picture opportunity with the flamingo was too good to miss.
