these battles are posted weekly or more on my forum and i have decided that i will give you all a few previews, and one on the LC on the valley of rivendel will probably have already seen these

the aim of these battles was to be fast and fun to play, i also hope that they are easily affordable too.

okie dokie then

scenario 1

The specters of the north:

A band of orcs have been terrorising the local communitys and with them is supposedly spirits of old, the king has sent a party of men to banish these fiends.

Participents:

Captain of Arnor with shield
1 Dunedain
1 Dunedain with spear
8 Warriors of Arnor
4 Rangers of Arnor
(200 points)

Evil:
2 Barrow-wights'
4 Orcs with shields
4 Orcs with spears

3 Specters
(240 points)

Objectives:

Evil: Reduce the good side to less than 75%

This game should be played on any arnor style board (a few rock clusters, little trees, plain grass. Not to hard i hope)

Money Tips: i would use warriors of Minas-Tirith with shields to repusent Warriors of Arnor

i hope you like it, for more of these visit my forum, the address is in my signiture

okay... not a huge success, heres another:

The Deffence of Sarn Ford

the ring wraiths are nearing the shire in search of the one ring, the dundain who gaurd the shire know nothing of the ring, but set up a hasty deffence to cease the wraiths, however when night fell the wraiths attacked in attempt to break through the dunedain's deffences

Participants:

Good:
4 Dunedain with spears
8 Rangers of Arnor
4 Rangers of Arnor with spears
(200pts)

Evil:
Witch king with dark steed 2 extra might 5 extra will and 1 extra fate
1 Ring wraith with dark steed and 1 extra might will and fate
2 Rring wraiths with dark steeds and 1 extra will and fate each
(350pts)

Objectives:

Good, must stop at least 2 ring wraiths from exiting the bored from their side

Evil: must get at least two ring wraiths into the shire

Special rules:
dark: no moddles can see any others unless they are 12'' away

battle layout, in the middle is a ford trees what have you, good deploy one side of it and evil deploy the other bored edge

Wait, isn't that just the same as the scenario in the Fellowship book, but with more Good models?

i have never read the fellowship book, i read some backgroung info on the ringwraiths and decided to make a scenario about it, seriously has already been done?!?

The Scenario only has the Witch-king and two Ringwraiths versus 9 Dunedain.

well in the real circumstances the witch king and three fellow wraithes entered the shire, khumal and the rest gaurded routes out, i was trying to be as real as possible

nice scenarios. think I will give the first one a try!

Why is the Good side always outnumbered in points? That Sarn Ford scenario makes it even worse, as they'll barely get a single turn of shooting in before the Wraiths are on them! And 350pts against 200? That's like adding Aragorn Elessar to a 500 point force and beating your mate.

Isengard: 1762pts
Moria: 1463pts
Evil Men: 381pts

Which are all on foot, and with a few special rules (During battle and for deployment). Also, the ringwraiths are at minimum stats.
Looks pretty similar to me.

@ lord hurin, i fitted the points to be acurate to what may have happed, and also in the first scenario if good had as many points as the evil side, the game would be a push over, as for the second that is quite realistic as to what happened in middle earth. If you were to play for objectives the games should be pretty close

@ general haar & garrew i have honestly never touched the felowship journeybook, i am quite shocked that mine is so similar

Yes, in the story there may have been a dozen Rangers against 4 Nazgul, but those were all supposed to be "Dunedain" Rangers or Rangers of the North. Besides that, it's made pretty clear that in the books the Nazgul stormed right through. It was a pretty 1-sided affair.

I'd either do what the Fellowship book did or use the same points cost in Rangers as the Nazgul. The detriment to shooting already takes away a huge advantage the Rangers have...

First, I think it's a nice idea for mini scenarios. I'll try to play some soon.



I have to agree with Lord Hurin. You can't just capture such a situation out of the book into a scenario, otherwise the result is almost predetermined. You have to give each side a fight. Like in Flight to The Ferry scenario when 3 Nazguls are to attack the Hobbits, the Nazguls were put in the Sentry mode and on foot to somehow balance the fight otherwise they would've probably won every game.

ok its been a while but heres a few more!

Bandit raid!

in the remote arias of the white mountains live men that have either been exciled from there home lands or left to be free to plunder and live by there own laws. Bandits often hide on dangerouse routes and ambush un prepared travelers. An armed gaurd of the stewards men were escorting a delivery of vital supplys to the beacon of amon lahr when they found themselves under attack from a gang of vicious bandits, they must fight off these savages to keep the wardens of anon lahr alive!

6 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields
6 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields and spears

2 Bandit horse men with bows and warspears (use stats and moddels for haradrim raiders)
12 Bandits with spears (use stats and moddels for harradrim warriors)

Objectives:

Good: Must reduce the evil side to less than 50% of its starting numbers

Evil: Must steal at least 2 bagage horses

Special rules:

Docile horses: bagage horses are docile creatures and do not think independantly, they may not move unless there is a moddel in base to base contact with it, they then follow that moddel. This moddel may not be mounted. if there are players from each side trying to move the horse then they must have an imediate fight, whichever moddel wins, wins the horse, the loosing moddel is knocked back but no further blows can be rolled

Terrein layout: basicly a narrow bored with a passage way through with rocks on either side.

Deployment: good deploy on the track, evil deploy in the center of the bored
