Example Battle: The Black Gate Opens

THE SHORT VERSION

A greatly outnumbered Good force must survive while Frodo approaches Mount Doom. The studio gathers numerous heroes, Eagles, Trolls and the remaining Nazgûl for the spectacle. Two Good deployment areas face enemies surrounding them across an open board. Gondor holds long enough for the Ring’s destruction, demonstrating how an unequal scenario can still create a tense game.
