Lord of the Rings three player game

My chum and his son came over for another game. I roughed up a "hold the objectives" scenario with a limit of 15 turns in the hope of avoiding the slugfest our games sometimes degenerate in to.

I took the Khand force taking on some Minas Tirith types and some Men of Rohan.

The Paddingtons Khandish warriors fan out


I have quite the Khavalry force now.


Not So Young N's recently finished Rohan riders.


And some foot troops.


Khandish arrows take out a gee-gee.


Evil plate clad fellows - ideal for opening up with a big chopper.


Battle is joined.


The Minas Tirith men start ganging up.



Axe versus horse.


I managed to get a good firing line, but arrows alone seldom win in Middle-earth.


Finally the so-called "good" forces fell out.


I started surrounding Rohan riders.


The chariot once again proved less than game-changing.


Battle flared across the field.


Theoden was proving a tough nut to crack.


And the fight with Minas Tirith was deadlocked.



The Minas Tirith archers had an annoying vantage point.


Better armour was turning the tide in favour of "good"


I was dragging down riders, but Theoden rode on.


No matter how many I threw at him.


My two lone archers had no targets.


Definitely a bit thinned out over here


The Rohan forces also fell to the White Tree.

I ran out of troops first, even fifteen turns proved too long for me to hang on, and the men of Rohan barely made the finish line.

Clear victory to the men of Minas Tirith.
