The Lord of the Rings: War Journal

THE SHORT VERSION

Mat Ward explains how companies combine into formations and why larger formations survive casualties better than isolated companies.

Charges, flanking and superior fighting skill add dice rather than guaranteed results, while flexible formation movement allows sweeping manoeuvres without requiring players to manage every warrior’s individual route.
