Where was Gondor when the west fold fell? Not here! We dive back into middle earth with a narrative battle attempting to recreate a battle mentioned in the lore but we never actually get to see!
At the fords of Isen Theodred Son of Theoden leads the Rohirrim against the machinations of the White hand. Saruman makes a play to take out Rohan but eliminating The kings son!
Chris Lee joins us again playing the forces of Isengard while Nick leads his beloved Riders of Rohan!
Special thanks to www.mtmprintwo... for helping with supplying some of the minitures such as the dead Rohrrim and the alternative sculpt for Theodred! Great stuff!

Super game. Never seen or played Middle Earth. Really fun and dynamic. It feels like a proper skirmish game that really drives narrative. Lovely. More please!!!

@729060 Месяц назад

It has the best ruleset of GW games and is the easiest to get into with its smaller army/point sizes and the slower dev cycle meaning you get longer to play with an edition. They just announced today that they will be releasing a new edition next year so now is a good time to start looking into the game. Unlike other GW games you only need to buy a hero pack to add to their Battle for Osgiliath set to have a legal 500pt (one of the most common game size) army

@CarpeGuitarrem Месяц назад

Yeah, it's really fun to see all the opportunities for cinematic longshot moments that sometimes pay off. If you haven't watched this channel's massive Helm's Deep battle, it's also a ton of fun.

@matthewross6045 Месяц назад

@@729060 yeah, the dev and update cycle for 40k is killing me as a casual player. Based on this, I’ll be going into my local GW and pick up some Middle Earth minis!

@matthewross6045 Месяц назад

@@CarpeGuitarrem great recommendation - that’s this afternoon sorted.

@matthewross6045 Месяц назад

It was great fun. Amazed you can scale a skirmish to Helms Deep - obviously no idea how many hours it took! But the ethos of how can we allow something cool is very different to 40K rules lawyering (as much as I like 40K)

@michaeldraftz3990 Месяц назад

Really fun batrep guys! Couple of small notes: Theodred should have re-rolled his failed to-wound rolls on Sharku (Reckless Charge). Scoring: All competitive scenarios are scored 0-12 pts. For Lords of battle the wound count is separate from the victory point totals. So Rohan would have had 3 for scoring more wounds (but not double), 3 for leader kill (fleeing counts), and 1 for breaking Isengard totaling 7. Isengard would have had 3 for the leader kill and 1 for breaking Rohan totaling 4. Breaking: Breaking is evaluated at the START of a turn. This means Isengard would not have had to take courage tests that first round (where Sharku fled). Despite the slip-ups the end result turn out to still be a Rohan win in a very cinematic fashion. Pretty cool guys!

@kingbonezai4925 26 дней назад

@mateobega12 Месяц назад

Thank you for doing battle reps of this game!!! ❤❤ Please do more!! Couple of notes to keep in mind: -There is no maelstorm deployment in Lords of Battle scenario, so no warbands should have come later in the game. -Points are scored just once at the end of the match, so you can never have more than 12. -Heroic channeling has to be declared at the start of the whole move phase (like you did with Heroic movements). -Combat pairings should be done at the end of the movement phase, not the start of the fight phase. This could affect in the way models for shooting at combats. -Courage tests are done model by model when you are going to move them or if you decided they are going to remain still. This is important because you can move models or make charges with more knowledge of the situation you are in.

@TheSmell-m9w Месяц назад

Oh theres so many Theodred rerolls all wounds. Wargs need to pass courage to stay. Shaman should use magic only when it moves

Glad you are shining more light on MESBG, it has the best ruleset of all GW games. I hope more people come into the hobby from seeing this! Also perfect timing with the final announcement for the supplement and the new edition, hopefully the fight meta and some of the hobbit models get tweaked when the new edition launches.

Great battle report. Just two things you missed. When Theodred charges he rerolls all failed wounds. Also you only check for breaking at the end of a turn. So in the turn that you break someone they do not need to test for courage

@PlayOnTabletop Месяц назад

Great catches. Will make sure we grab that for next time.

@DFGEmporium Месяц назад

Great game(edits for extra notes)! One note was the heroic channeling called by the shaman at the start of the game. It should have been called when the move phase began, so before the Rohan forces moved. All heroics are called at the start of the phase, regardless of who has priority. Same thing appeared to happen with the march the "grishnak" captain called later on. You can also Allocate strikes individually so when dismounting Theoden, you can roll 1 attack at the horse, then decide if you want to do another if the horse isnt wounded, allowing you to dismount the horse and then put the rest into Theoden. Hope to see more MESBG from you guys!

@alanliddle4084 Месяц назад

It looked like the Uruk-hai were broken before you were saying. Meaning you get the VPs at the end and don't have to wait until they hit 66%. You also don't start rolling to see if the game ends until a turn after you're broken as you find out you break at the start of a turn. It also looked like you killed a D6 Uruk-hai with a TS needing a 5 when in fact you'd need a 6 but I could have missed that. All that being said, great enthusiasm and cool thematic game.
