The Lord of the Rings

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Hall introduces the Strategy Battle Game through the stories and alternative outcomes it lets players explore, from saving Boromir to pitching unlikely opponents against each other. He explains how individual warriors, exceptional Heroes and their reserves of Might recreate Tolkien’s adventures, then describes routes into collecting through the Mines of Moria set, the Journey books and the new army sourcebooks. The emphasis is on choosing a story and growing models and terrain around it rather than beginning with a large army.
