LotR game
It is simply from osmosis that I have any knowledge of the Tolkien worlds as I have never read any of the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings books. Nor have I watched any of the movies except some random battle scenes so CGI’d and of such ridiculous tactical maneuvers that I could only go ‘pfft’. This puts me much apart from one of the gaming groups I venture with. They can happily ramble on about all the details. When I dare to comment that they could use different colours to paint differently than what either GW or Peter Jackson have envisioned, I am met with such derision I might have said the British Army never wore red in the entirety of its existence! Such is their history of this fantasy world.
Yet I can play in LotR games. Don’t particularly like the rules, but an armoured guy with a spear is basically the same whether Orc, Gondorian or even a Medieval Yeoman for all that.
In this, once again with a “go and kill” scenario idea ….sigh ….I was one of the “good guys” against the bad guys. It was ‘the army loses at 50%’ victory idea with both sides close to that at the end of evening. However it was a nice looking and, for this fantasy world, a different urban environment set up by ChrisO.
The figures and terrain are theirs (a collaborative effort).
