Editing this game was a dream come true. Grew up with the movies and the strategy battle game. Hope everyone has fun watching it 😊

You guys excel in what most of other battle reports fail: 1. Great camera work! Often it's just painful to watch battle reports due shaky camera, plus your dramatic camera angles and FXs add such a nice flavor 2. Good editing and humor makes really enjoyable to watch (which is a challenge for such a long battle like this) 3. Explaining the rules is very useful for beginners More Middle-earth content, please!

@Dragon_Fyre Месяц назад

The lighting effects and fast pace are great as well.

@karlwhite8294 Месяц назад

Many of the rules were wrong, but still well done.

@chrisrains6470 20 дней назад

All of my favorite RU-vid war gamers screw their respective games up constantly, and it just does not matter! What matters is the enjoyment they get from playing the game in the enjoyment we get from observing. All of my favorite RU-vid wargamer get full marks for that and in the end, I don’t even care if they are constantly messing rules up or mispronouncing names.

@729060 Месяц назад

I'm seriously impressed with how many movie moments they managed to hit here. Hope we get more Middle Earth on the channel, I love 40k but I think ME has the best rules and game flow of all the GW products.

LOTR minis were the perfect gateway mini for our generation. Selling them at places like Barnes & Noble made miniature wargaming much more accessible. I also started with LOTR, played 40k for a decade+ (almost 2 now) and have gotten back into LOTR as a painting project now that I have more $$$ to spend than I did as a 14 yo. Great video, actually watched it with my kids who loved it.

I have the biggest smile possible right now, not only was it cinematic (Theoden's Charge) fun, and excellently edited it made me want to watch the trilogy again!

@HeyQuadro Месяц назад

this was such a fun video. From Nick and Steve constantly saying "Aragon" instead of "Aragorn", to the Rohan soldiers heroically jumping across the gap to defend the wall, it was just a total rollercoaster!

@tolkienaboutgames Месяц назад

So excited to see more Middle Earth on this channel!

@BarcelPL Месяц назад

Damn, I remember my (long-gone) local game store put a game excatly like this, about 15 years ago. Each store visitor would participate, commading a single squad. That was a sight to behold. I sometimes wonder what happened to the terrain of that game - it was massive, like 1,5 x 2m.

@Glorfindel_117 Месяц назад

It warms my heart seeing more MESBG. This is the only wargame I play, but I havent played for about 3 years now. I got into it a little while after it came out, and it's been such a cherished part of my life, so thanks for doing this. It's clear a TON of production, time, and money went into this one video.

@GeoffreyBronson Месяц назад

When I was a kid and first introduced to Warhammer, I was immediately attracted to MESBG but felt that because the movies were coming out at the time, when the movies end the game will go away. Over 20 years later, I'm so glad that the game is not only still around but still drawing players! This was a great video, everything I hoped to see as a kid.

As a person that’s never played the game but love the content, i really love the chaos of the rules being spewed out. Like at 15:40 when he needs two dice it’s like “ok guess thems the rules”

@SendReinforcements Месяц назад

Man I remember buying a whole bunch of Rohirrim and Uruks from Barnes & Noble as a kid, doing a terrible job painting them, and fighting my own made up battles using blankets and books to make terrain (I believe this was a tip in the LOTR book that was also sold then. Never actually played a real game with dice, just my imagination. Kid me would probably have LOVED to play a battle on a board like this at a scale like this! At least I get to watch you guys and live vicariously though you guys!

@chrisrains6470 20 дней назад

From time to time I like to reflect on what the kidney would say to the adult me right now . Your inner kid would kick your adult self in the nuts and say, bro you have a car you’ve got tons of money. We are leaving now. We are coming home with toys! Now every time my inner kid says that I just grabbed the keys and the wallet and follow, lol.

Dude, just take the dive! Go to a hobby store on the weekend and they’re guaranteed will be people tabletop gaming. Ask them what the minimum that you need to get in is or if any of them would let you run half of their army. Then you need to destroy all of your credit cards and give your money to someone more responsible than you because you will be hooked for good!

When this set came out, they did not have a box for a wood elf box. Just blisters of three. So I learned how to sculpt and mod my minis. But I also bought so many 3 pack blisters. It was so fun. I am so glad I found this
