Lord of the Rings. Orcs, Khand and Gondor

Another three player game with my chum and his son.

This time we had seven objectives on the table and the winner would be whomever could hold four of them at the same time.

The Paddingtons Khand spread out.


Galloping freely over the hedgerows!


Orcs to the right, Gondor to the left.


Archers on a hill.Nothing to worry about, archers in MESBG are rubbish.


A Gondorian shieldwall.


More Gondorians with their fancy armour, waving their swords in the air.


Khand is spreading out, but not capturing many objectives.


Let the fighting begin!


The chariot came to a juddering halt after failing to squish an Orc.


Gondorian armour>Khandish axes


Oh dear, he's stuck.



Right lads, just chop your way past these Orcs, into the tower and grab the objective, easy.


At last a Gondorian goes down.


These lads were taking a fearful toll of both Orcs and Khandish men.


Big Orc and Gondor scrum.


Khamul finally gets stuck in (and is rubbish)



Gondor now just mopping up (I think they'd already won bu this stage, but we played on to see if they could get *all* the objectives).


Still the Khandish men fail to gain egress to the tower.


A lopsided win for Gondor. I think young N. may be doing unsportsmanlike things like reading the rules properly, playing against other people and just generally being better at this toy soldiers lark than either me or his dad.

Great to get the soldiers out and MESBG gives a fun game.
