    Love this game, my game group made a house rule for Frodo: he can only be targeted from turn 10+. This was a great narrative towards the end of the game for both players.

    I really like the minis! While the mechanics don't really appeal to me as much as the other GW boxed games (like Blitz Bowl or Space Marine Adventures), it might be cool to use these high quality minis of the Shire for War of the Ring

    Fun little game I thought. My mate was laughing that it was the "cursed timeline" as everyone died except Gandalf, Frodo and Legolas. We made some basic AI in that the goblins tried to attack in packs against the most vulnerable targets within sight. We also made the troll attack the last person that attacked him or whoever was closest

    • @tabletopskirmishgames
      @tabletopskirmishgames  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nice one! Great ideas for the AI and that fits the Troll narrative for sure.

    i have question on board you have stairs so you can go upstairs on platform where you have trap door etc my question is if any hero/goblin are on platform can some attack them from below if yes it will kill little tactics ? because rules say you can attack any adjencent model right so its little confusing

    • @tabletopskirmishgames
      @tabletopskirmishgames  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It doesn't say anything about that in the rules so I'm playing it as regular squares to move on with no special rules. You could house rules it, though.

      The squares are 1 inch so if that fits the dimensions of the pillars then that would look awesome in the board.

      That's a good question. I can't think of anything else I've played that is a quick skirmish with ready built minis and simple rules. Miniature agnostic games are good, though. Grab a book, minis you like and you are good to go.

    Thanks for the video. I love LOTR and this was one of my favorite scenes in both the book and the film. I really want to play it solo so thanks for addressing that. Any more insights on that would be greatly appreciated. I am a little nervous about assembling the models as that is something I have never done and wish they were already assembled

    • @tabletopskirmishgames
      @tabletopskirmishgames  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for watching! The miniatures are very easy to build and some of them come in one piece with no assembly necessary. If you haven't assembled models before, this would be a brilliant set to start with. The Troll has the most parts but as it's quite big, it's a good one to try out snipping and tidying up the mould lines with.

  • @Quincy_Morris
    @Quincy_Morris 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If people complain about Frodo being defeated as a tie remember that is what happened in the book. With the fellowship being delayed to tend to him long enough for the balrog to arrive.
    A win can be interpreted as the fellowship leaving fast enough to avoid the fight with the Balrog and Gandalf thus not dying in his battle with the Balrog.

  • @nathanwtc742
    @nathanwtc742 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Are the miniatures push fit or do I need polystyrene cement? The Trolls arms look like they were separate from the body. I enjoyed your video. You are very good at explaining the rules clearly and concisely. I love your warcry battle reports as well by the way.

    • @tabletopskirmishgames

    • @tabletopskirmishgames
      @tabletopskirmishgames  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Blue is used by the Fellowship and red is used by the Goblins. The Red are different because they have 1 blank side, the eye of Sauron, and a different sword and shield. I guess the blank side help to make the stats work.

      It's definitely not a game to play often but great to play after watching the movies. A few tweaks and I think the rules could be applied to other models and scenes from the film.

    @NeonKnight83 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That was my first question and you answered immediately, what happens if Frodo gets killed before the end? You’re playing for a draw at that point. I definitely see how the rule fits thematically, but I would come up with a house rule of some kind or just toss that rule out.
