THE SHORT VERSION

The preview introduces The Battle of the Pelennor Fields supplement and its focus on Harad’s invasion of Gondor. Imrahil and the Swan Knights oppose Suladân, Haradrim warriors and raiders, with the Hâsharii adding a more secretive threat. Mûmakil provide the largest new battlefield presence, while the Rangers of the North expand Good’s heroic options. The article outlines forthcoming material rather than supplies the new profiles.

Mirkwood Errata

The correction supplies the Might, Will and Fate values omitted from the Mirkwood Captain’s earlier profile. It completes that optional hero entry with two Might, one Will and one Fate. The notice is short but necessary for playing the previously published force. It does not revise the captain’s equipment or the surrounding Mirkwood rules.

The Biter Bit

Damrod’s ambush turns against him when Rangers become trapped between an Easterling column and pursuing Orcs. The Good player must escort Damrod and enough Rangers off a short table edge instead of winning a straightforward fight. Marshes can knock defeated warriors down, while a stealth move gives the surrounded force a small opening. Alternative point values retain the outnumbered escape challenge for other armies.
