The Battle for Erebor

THE SHORT VERSION

Adam Troke commands an Iron Hills army against Jay Clare’s Gundabad force in a large Fog of War game. Hidden objectives require each player to protect a hero, eliminate a chosen opponent and secure terrain, making apparent battlefield success an unreliable guide to the final result.

Bolg kills Dain and the monsters inflict severe losses, but Dwarven shooting and the chariot keep the contest alive. The Troll Brute destroys the protected chariot commander just as the battle ends, producing a seven-all draw and illustrating how a last action can overturn an opponent’s carefully concealed plans.
