Hi, today I've got visit from a mate with who I started to collect Gamesworkshop Lord of the Rings miniatures several years ago. In the beginning we were playing massive battles with our collections such as Helmsdeep or small scale scenarios which were descripted in the magazines that accompagnied the miniatures. But our gaming time dwingled and battlegames became scarce, ...
But after a visit to Crisis this year the wargaming spirit revived and so we played some small games to try and remember the LOTR skirmish rules.
Warg attack! (1)
Forces
Goblins (commanded by me)
- 3 Archers (15 points)
- 4 Swordsmen (20 points)
- 3 Spearmen (15 points)
Warg pack (commanded by my mate)
- 6 Wild wargs ( 48 points)
Short battlereport
During this game the goblin force was able to resist the fierce warg charges due to a good defensive position and some pour dice throwing by my mate during the priority phase. The goblins managed to defend a small watercrossing with the use of a good combination of spear and swordsmen. My goblin archers weren't able to kill any of the approaching wargs because I needed to throw a 5+ followed by another 5+!
The result of the battle was clear with only 2 goblins killed and the warg pack utterly destroyed.

During this game the goblin force was also able to resist the fierce warg charges but suffered a bit more casualties due to a goblin manoevre which made it possible for me to outflank the goblin battleline.
The result of the battle was also clear with only 4 goblins killed and the warg pack utterly vanquished.
The battle of Orthanc
Forces
- Gandalf the grey (commanded by me)
- Saruman (commanded by my mate)
Short battlereport
This game was played using the fast play rules described in magazine 15. These rules were really easy because you only could chose 4 methods of attack and 3 methods of defence. The two main attacks were "throw" and "thwack" both of these attacks could be combined in 2 different ways. Each wizard had 15 lives which could be reduced by thwacking or throwing.
The battleground was hexed with in the middle, the palantir which enabled anybody who contacted him to predict his enemies actions.
In this game, Gandalf lost the duel against Saruman!
I hope you enjoyed these small battle reports!
Greets,
