Lord of the Rings – Goblin Raid
Sunday Night – Club Night, the new website is starting to bear fruit and we welcomed 4 new guy’s to the club.
As part of a future project I wanted to give Lord of the Rings rules a try, despite being a gamer for over 20 years I had never played them and was looking for a set of skirmish rules that could accommodate plenty of figures, with heroes and leaders – more of that in future posts.
Thanks to Dane for the lend of the figures.
The scenario was a simple one, a homestead in the hinterland was attacked by a Goblin and Orc war band with a view to stealing the sheep herd….. the valiant defenders had to hold on and protect their live stock.
The farm and surrounding countryside before the Goblin horde descend.
To the North Orc’s skirt the walled compound looking to gain entry to the farm.
The good guy’s are no match for the size and bulk of the troll.
With the defenders pinned by Goblins to the South and Orc’s to the North the troll was free to pick up the flock and wander off unmolested.
The rules flowed really well, but will need a few tweaks to fit with the project I have in mind, all in all a good evenings entertainment.
