Reminds me to read Topics more carefully before i go to bad  Somehow missed your post completely. I think i blame the lacking sleep over the week...

Nothing is better than old rulebooks pondering

No worries mate. I've probably done much worse.

Glad you got everything you needed rules-wise. I really like your painting, and am looking forward to seeing what you do with this project. 

Great minds and all that, eh? 

As the Germans say, "Papier ist geduldig" ("Paper is patient")!

I too keep/kept all my old rulebooks. Not only do I still enjoy looking through them, but I can always carry on playing the game with them regardless of the latest new thing if I want to. Seems like that's a philosophy which is becoming more popular these days, with revivals like Oldhammer and Middlehammer.

With regards to scenarios, it could be worth tracking down some of the old GW BFME supplements for a steer? At least one iteration of the game was for bigger battles (War of the Ring, 2009), and whilst the rules/basing conventions were quite different to WHFB/WAB, the bare bones of the scenarios' set up, victory conditions, etc., could just be ported straight over as-is.

I think i should probably read the LotR again first, then The Book of Lost Tales, then The Complete History of Middle-earth etc ad infinitum!

Oh boy! What have I done?
