Just need time to paint them now !

Been in laying a couple of games of War of the Rjng card game with Darryl. 1 each and very close margins each time just 1 VP .

This time got all four players together for a big match up . Phil and Bruce as Evil vs Darryl and Mike as good .

Victory for good.

This thing is huge. It comes apart for storage. Probably needs a base for stability.

Elrond’s elves attempt to march out of Rivendell to aid the free peoples in the war of the rings. Barring their way they come across the Witch King and his army of orcs and Trolls .

J and link played as evil and good respectively whilst I umpired and learnt the rules as we went in our first play of Midgard Heroic Battles.

The battle began with a contest of champions. Glorfindel slew Nazgush in front of both armies.

The elves emboldened advanced rapidly .

The wargs on the eleven right flank charged the spearmen whilst the elven heavy cavalry in the centre crashed into the orc warriors.

Next the infantry lines clashed . Glorfindel slew the second orc leader in single combat . The orcs were losing heart seeing their leaders fall . The orcs were destroyed but the second line closed on the already tiring elves .

Finally the Trolls struck the victorious elven cavalry who had pushed too far forward in the flank . Destroying them easily Elrond was forced to flee . However the orc warriors in the centre were smashed and the other warg riders were destroyed by the spearmen on the hill.

The orcs had lost all their reputation coins and so victory went to the elves.

These are great rules and play fast to a good finale . Single combat though is brutal for the loser !
