The Lord of the Rings Tactica: Monsters

THE SHORT VERSION

Mat Ward organises monster play around reaching combat, crushing suitable warriors and managing unreliable Courage. Trolls, Dragons, Demons, giant spiders and Mûmakil each offer a different balance of force, speed and resilience, while Ents provide a powerful option for Good armies. The guide repeatedly relates the large creature to its supporting troops and heroes, warning that impressive profiles can still be undermined by missile fire, spells, poor positioning or the wrong duel.
