Amazing game guys! So glad to be seeing more people getting into Middle Earth. I wish I could press the like button more than once!

@brotherskar7632 Год назад

Thanks to your battle reports especially your conquest league me and my gaming group are all getting middle earth armies. So thankyou.

@indonesiaops7276 Год назад

We want more quality mesbg reports!

This video is helping me learn the game EXPONENTIALLY

Without you, middle earth yputube scene would die! Keep up!!

@alexandreroma8118 Год назад

More LotR content please! Absolutely amazing match. This game system definitely deserves a spot in your regular content slot.

@knightcinema2231 Год назад

Yup

@travellinghousehobbies 11 месяцев назад

100% Agree!!

@Eruidraith Год назад

i am a huge fan of that one ranger just fighting for his life the entire game on that wall. what a friggin hero

@PlayOnTabletop Год назад

He was a hero for sure. Held off almost the entire flank by himself!

@indonesiaops7276 Год назад

Moments like this are one of the many great things about this game 😅

@chrisbaird4204 Год назад

Middle Earth is probably the best ruleset GW produce, and it is certainly miles ahead of 40k and AoS. Would love to see you do more games.

@HolyMith Год назад

It gets less bitching from the fanbase, so they have room to find out what works without excessive "feedback".

@jesuschristsupersta1 Год назад

The turn order/priority changing is a better system imo than I hit u, u hit me with 40k It's also rather simple even with hero models and magic, but the simplicity doesn't detract from the strategy

@indonesiaops7276 Год назад

The fact that lead designer is also a top level competitive player may or may not have something to do with the system being and staying healthy.

@TheBronf Год назад

the only problem is power creep when they make a new faction. when the hobbit realsed the heros out classed the old stuff. azog and bolg were to strong for there point cost at the time for example. its not as bad now since the older armys and heros have been updated a bit to keep in line with the newer stuff but im seeing the problem again with those beornings at the moment.

@chrisbaird4204 Год назад

@@TheBronf Beornings are only good at a certain points value. You also don't see them win many big events.

@PureBrawler Год назад

Is it weird I'm enjoying every non-40k game they play far more? Seeing all these cool new rules and styles of wargaming is awesome!

@chriswilson6486 Год назад

Not weird at all!

@leiziru9642 Год назад

MESBG, Legion and 2.0 X-Wing all have superior rulesets to 40k, quite frankly. Warhammer is all grim and dark and fun but the tabletop ruleset isn't the most immersive or intriguing. I still like 40k but other games are simply better regarding some mechanics

@PureBrawler Год назад

@@leiziru9642 I agree. I switched over to OPR a few months ago, and it's amazing how fast and streamlined the matches go. I wish GW would trim some of the fat off the rules to make games shorter and keep players more immersed in each phase of the game.

@maxanderson2180 Год назад

Those sentries are mvps, held up several orks and blocked lines if ingress the entire game. Truly the courage of Gondor stands!

@tjsmith8348 Год назад

This battle report is probably one of my favourites, it doesn't feel like nothing is happening and keeps flowing

@phigu198 Год назад

Please play more of this! MESG is a great game with many gorgeous miniatures and it lends itself uniquely well to the cinematic PlayOn Style. Also Try AoS again in the 40 minute formate, it deserves it.

@leiziru9642 Год назад

Some Battle Companies on this channel would be cool, especially with these guys getting so deep into narrative and immersive scenarios!

@_OldWorldCharm_ Год назад

This video was by far the most fun I’ve had learning a new system of tabletop gaming. Middle Earth is one of my favorite fantasy settings and it helped that the terrain and models were truly immersive in their beautiful details.

@HuckleBeary55 Год назад

You can tell the love that went into this video….as someone who was also introduced into war gaming from the middle earth strategy battle game I’m absolutely elated to see this. Please keep these on the channel!

@bengamingames5002 Год назад

Agreed!!

@heleti0000 Год назад

Zorpazorp’s Osgiliath is epically huge and extremely well constructed. Watching your guys play this morning has proven to me “size does NOT matter”. Your setup is equally awesome - really enjoyed the playthrough. Well done indeed.

@lohkirlohkir7679 Год назад

Zorps is going to be nuts though and he just wants the scale to reflect the lore :) Both great boards !

@grimnartusk265 Год назад

i mean it's still a massive board in my opinion lol

@scotsraven1990 Год назад

i love this system. please please please id love to see you try a story of the fellowship choosing your own heros and ring bearer

@G0lia7h_at Год назад

Its just so beautiful seeing so much fresh wind coming into MESBG lately. I hope this is lasting and will build a stronger and broader community base. I want more opponents to crush!!

@keyne444 Год назад

MORE MORE OF THIS Honestly this is more interesting than the Star Wars or the Conquest game.

@mikey_vengenz Год назад

This was great. I love MESBG, but it's been a bit of a niche game in recent years. To see a channel with the ability to put this much love into MESBG is awesome. More please!

@oldvacher Год назад

Fantastic Battle Report, loved it. The music was so much more dramatic than every other game.

@theeviloverlord7320 Год назад

I love lotr theme battles, I hope you continue to use systems other than 40k

@whiteboyfrik5864 Год назад

Awesome board and game, really happy to see Middle earth Strategy on this channel, got into the game a few months ago and i´m loving it. Hopefully we can see more of this games on the channel, the more the merrier. Cheers

@TheEldarGuy 4 месяца назад

Every Middle Earth game has emotion and an energy behind it. That moment in the game when Might has run out, Fate is gone, and all that's left is that roll for priority, there's nothing better.

@sokratisbaltas8730 Год назад

Even though your first MESBG report, it ranks easily on the top. Great narrative, no rules mistakes, excellent board, engaging editing. Everything on the spot. Keep it up!

@Nigelius Год назад

The troll throwing the Osgiliath vet into the river is one of the reasons I love this game system so much, so many opportunities for funny moments. It could be kicking Aragorn off a cliff, accidentally shooting your own orcs, hobbits killing knights with a rock (and ungodly good dice rolls) and catapulting riders of Rohan off their horses.

@positronisomer206 Год назад

I wonder if the other content creators just scream into a pillow in despair when you put up a new game and instantly create a new standard for batreps. 40k, Star Wars legion, now MESBG. Amazing quality. Board was insane

@HaevyGlow Год назад

As someone who never played wargames before, watching this video made me an instant fan! Rules are super simple to understand - to finicky cards / economy to deal with, everything is clear and streamlined. Now, I'm gonna go and pick up my own Battle for Osgiliath box!

@JaayB Год назад

As someone who collected LOTR Warhammer as a kid (and getting those awesome magazines) but never getting to actually play it, I very much appreciate you bringing it to the channel. Fantastic game!

@dalerocks13 Год назад

That witch king base is amazing i think i will be copying that gem Amazing table and a great battle guys

@FireflyMyLife Год назад

Fantastic game! Stunning map and miniatures, and the battle was uncannily dramatic! I hope we'll see many more scenarios from Middle Earth! (Elves! Rohan! An Oliphant! Galadriel!) Thank you very much - it was a treat to watch.

@CthulhuOnCam Год назад

I hope this does well. I have a lot of love for this setting. There's a whole start to finish campaign that you can run taking the players from the Shire to Morder and I'd love to watch Nick lead the heros through it while various guests take cracks at him as the forces of evil. ALSO there's a pretty fun campaign system with warbands. I played it a bit as a youngling. Be great to see all the play on guys take on a warband and see who comes out on top.

@bigspinshit Год назад

Never saw a game of Middle Earth before since I'm quite new to just 40k, and it's actually really cool! Love the differences in mechanics as well. Great job on the board and the game as well, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

@Breakdown10000X Год назад

Awesome to see MESBG content, especially the high quality you guys bring. Only problems I noticed was the Fellbeast moving and attacking twice. He can do that with either a heroic combat or a barge power attack, which both work a little differently than shown, and the trebuchet can't target someone in combat because they're a good army, but over all an amazing video

@JakobDrawitsch Год назад

I suspect that they knew but were applying rule of cool. Another example: They also didn't reduce the Nazgul's Will after fighting, I assume because they wanted to showcase it and not worry about that.

@kingbonezai4925 Год назад

I am pretty sure the beast called a couple heroic combats As for the tebuchet, no he can’t target a mini in combat, but if I recall correctly this was due to an FAQ where for a while good forces could fire swigs weapons into combat. I remember it being a thing before the first FAQ

@PlayOnTabletop Год назад

The fell beast did call heroic combat. Though we did miss the treb firing into combat. We were a little caught up in the moment. It was kinda fun anyways :)

@koendejong1294 Год назад

@@kingbonezai4925 oh what faq? Because as far as i know good can actually use treb into "danger zones" as an exception, not specifying combats to be a no no. Just a call to players to think like a good guy when deciding where to fire

@mikewilliams5723 Год назад

Also the banner re-roll doesn't apply if the bearer is knocked prone

@thiskid12345 3 месяца назад

Absolutely obsessed with all things LOTR and LOVE this video! Please please please keep it up! So much fun. You guys got me hooked with WH40K and this is just my absolute dream come true to see LOTR miniatures and battles! Keep it up! "FOR GONDOR! - FOR GONDOR! - FOR GONDOR!!!"

@ishpulc Год назад

Great video! Had not seen LotR played on tabletop. Loved the books and movies, so it's neat seeing how the tabletop game captures those thematic moments. The board turned out great! Hopefully we will see more of Middle Earth on the channel again in the future.

@rileypompa2023 Год назад

I never comment please make more of lord of the ring videos it’s made me even more interested in playing

@someonesusingmyname Год назад

I didn't think I would have any interest in this system, but you sold me. Hope to see more LOTR batreps

@Kolealstraz Год назад

After watching this, I'd LOVE to see Play On to make a Khazad Dum game. Dwarves reclaiming the lost kingdom of Moria and facing the dreaded Durin's Bane. That aside - wonderful game here. Tau Nick....now Orc Nick?

@simonwiltshire3674 Год назад

Really enjoyed seeing some Middle Earth strategy battle game and would like to see more. Mines of Moria would be great to see as a skirmish!

I'm so happy you guys are moving into KT, Legion, and LOTR! Your batreps are such high quality

@GarmrKiDar Год назад

@katelystt Год назад

Such a thematic battle on what's honestly the best board on Play On. I personally would love to see a ME campaign fought on it.

@brotherskar7632 Год назад

Great battle report. Board was truly amazing. More middle earth.

@Quijanos1 Год назад

That was a phenomenal display of sportsmanship, a game. I didn't even consider ever buying. But now it's on my wish list. Love the channel, love the personalities, keep doing what you're doing and don't change. I think you've got the winning combination. One of the things I do enjoy, it's not absolutely necessary, but it's absolutely enjoyable to see, is when you add those special effects to the recording. The recording. I'm talking about arrows or the sound of arrows flying through the air, explosions or rock shattering,.. I've seen it done in others. Gameplays but you've hit it right on the head of the nail. Take care, keep smiling, and all the best in your success.

@jamesm8250 Год назад

Really glad you're doing MESBG, I dont have any friends that play it so its great to check it out in such dramatic fashion!

@CMDRKaiross07 Год назад

This was far more entertaining than. I thought it'd be. No buckets of dice rolling. No rules that confuse the crap out of me.

@Levelochef Год назад

People frustrated with 40K and GW should play this. I’ve been a MESBG since the movies dropped. The rules have changed twice since then. It’s an incredibly well balanced game and relies so much more on player skill than a mega army.

In the previous video for this video series you (Nick) being concerned about how the board would look (and I’m just throwing production, rules explanation, over all content quality). You (Nick) and the play on team 100% have set a standard for tabletop gaming videos on RU-vid. I have enjoyed everything you guys have done. Thank you all!!

@rustyduktape Год назад

Really cool videos guys! My best friend and I when were much younger had quite the collection of Middle Earth miniatures, even had a Helm's Deep and Rohan board set up! Now I've recently started learning about 40K through your channel, and your videos have given me a great insight to 40K and what the game is actually like. Then to see this video made me realize I found the right place and I'm on the right track to returning to a hobby I greatly enjoyed and been away from far too long!!

@deanlarge1671 5 месяцев назад

Guys, your battle reports are arguably the best on RU-vid right now, and I stumbled on this one. MESBG is arguably one of the best games GW has ever produced and the set up was phenomenal! Great game with the rules tips popping up really explaining gameplay well. Personally, I'd LOVE to see more from Middle Earth and the factions it has to offer. Play on!!
