I went to the largest MIDDLE-EARTH tournament in North America 2024 

Thanks for this report, I found it very educational as a new player that has never even been to a tournament and your recounting of how the battles went kept me well entertained!

Loved the report! Just started the game and have been really enjoying the competitive side of it. Apart from the green dragon podcast, your channel is probably the best when it comes to learning strategies & tactics. 🙌🏻 A YT video suggestion: Play a competitive game & take a picture each turn of the map vertically from above. In the YT video, show these pictures one at a time to share your thoughts behind your decision-making. These thoughts could be split up into kind of a macro-level (e.g. why deploying more units to the left to apply more pressure there, your intentions of utilizing the terrain, how to play the tempo of your vs. The enemy army etc.) and a micro-level (e.g. why does hero A call a heroic move, why does spear guy X support front guy Y instead of front guy Z etc.). I think this would be quite novel in the MESBG content space and could teach a lot about the game :) Best from Groningen NL 🙋🏼‍♂️

This is a fantastic tournament report - thank you for all of the work you put into it, and congratulations on doing so well with an inventive list! I'm already looking forward to the next one, and I wish you the best of luck.

Great video! I need a tactic video on Warbats. How to utilize them etc.

Well done Richard! Way to represent the Canadians well!

Hey Richard, Was great meeting you and the rest of the guys and hanging out the weekend! Hope to catch up soon. Greetings from Germany! Max

very well presented video, I was actually feeling nervous myself. I liked the graphics for the army lists and the battle report. Six large and tough battles in a row, to keep playing let alone winning must require a lot of mental concentration as you can't afford to make a mistake and need to keep pushing your positives. Although this army is new to you having played a lot there must be a lot of tactics that cover all the armies, do you ever feel you are on auto pilot.

Great event report, loved the layout and your explanation of how things unfolded and the choices you where thinking at the time of them. Congratulations on second! Out of 85 people is an amazing feat. Keep up the great work! :)

Awesome recap Richard! Thanks for sharing your experience. Loved seeing Scott repping the NorCal MESBG Shirt!

This is probably the best tournament report I have ever seen! (And I watch quite a few) Not much to improve on here. I love the breakdown of the tactics with the visuals. Don't know how good your editing team is but if you can continue to "polish" up the tactics breakdown you would be outclassing any other content out there. Again, really great video and great job on your performance!!

Great report really detailed and interesting. Congrats on the 2nd place seems like you piloted the army very well.

Congrats on 2nd! Limosine warg for the win

Azog's is a nice army, fast and attack heavy but fragile. Fun to play fun to meet (unless Azog/Bolg chews on your "my army really is all about these 1-2 heroes". :)

Love your channel and your vibe !! :)

Great video, very well done!

Awesome recap! Loved the brekadown of veto choices that was really helpful!

Fantastic tournament report! Highly entertaining. Thank you and congrats!!

That was a great watch, thanks for making - looking forward to you going one better next time! 😁

The into the west shirt goes hard I can't lie

That army combo has been gettin around a bit in our local meta, run by solid players too (has had good results).

This was a really good video, thanks for the tactics graphics breakdown!

It was great meeting you at Adepticon Richard!

More! Give me more of this content!

Richo is back!!! 😎

Great video! Thanks Richard

Well done

I myself will be playing hunters allied with legion myself soon. Just won a tournament with hunters 500 and been wanting to scale it up.

That was a very insightful video. Thanks a lot and congratulations! I strongly consider playing a version of this list on my next 600p tournament (instead of Pits of Dol Guldur). Would you recommend simply downgrading the list by dropping a bat and a few orcs from your 650p version? And I would love to know why you chose to drop the ogre in the tournament-list. What role would it take in a 600p list? Would two bats perform better from your point of view? Or is your list not playable at 600p anymore - would you rather pivit to Pits then?

Congrats man well deserved. Whats your thoughts on no bolg or azog and full mass orc spam?

Congrats, you think Yazneg would worth it if you lose 2 berserkers 1 bat?

Where do they do tournaments on east coast I'm in ga

Hunters + Legion is good. Not great but good.

Generally Hobbit armies are mostly unbalanced and not fun to play against. Hopefully there will be turnaments breakouts to compete within LoTR and within Hobbit armies to scale the nonsense sometimes...
