Hello Folks, After the success of the ACW Big Game the other month, I have put together some ideas for a few more games in a similar style. That is, focusing on army movements at the grand scale over tactical scale. I want to propose the next Big Game is Lord of the Rings! Can I ask for people's interest in playing? Feel free to choose who you would like to join and I'll try my best to put people where they want. Factions are Gondor, Rohan, Isengard, Mordor, Haradrim I will need to borrow forces for all the sides but thankfully we do not need many figures. I can cover Isengard and some Orcs for Mordor but will need the rest. The Game (I will probably alter this drastically but this is the current version)Our afternoon will be set during the War of the Third Age with the siege of Minas Tirith. The forces of Mordor will be advancing west along with their eastern allies and it is up to Gondor to halt their advance. Meanwhile, Rohan fresh from it's victory at Helms Deep has seen the beacons lit! (or seen the Red Arrow if you are a book fan) and are mustering their forces to lend aid at Dunharrow. Isengard, while defeated, has small forces still ravaging the countryside, who will likely be a difficult speed bump in Rohan's way. Can Rohan arrive in time? Will Gondor survive even the first few turns? Who knows?! To win, Good or Evil need to hold Minas Tirith before the Army of the Dead arrives to end the game. Attachments:

Looks good mate! I'll look out my figures. I have Mordor stuff and I believe some Haradrim and Easterlings. Sign me up for Mordor.
Do you not know death when you see it old man? Die now and curse in vain!

Anton and I are thinking of getting the newish starter set from GW soon, so hopefully more Middle Earth wargaming to come! Bob, did you ever have Easterling cavalry or some other baddie cavalry or am I imagining that?

I'm a Rohirrim, or Gondor, if there are too many. A Elbereth Gilthoniel!

Gondor for me, it's what I have for one.
I have loads of Arab cavalry that could be Haradrim

Hey folks, I am looking to have the next big game on Sunday 29th September.
All things perfect I am looking for 4 Goodies and 6 Evils, although I will plan for the likelihood of much less. I'll get in touch with the others who aren't regular and see who I can drum up.
As far as I'm aware:
Goodies 1. Don 2. Brian 3. Alan 4.
Evils 1. David Jr. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Cheers Don, 3 of the guys from last time can't make it, but 1 can. So we can see who we've got and plan from there.

Okay we are good to go for this Sunday.
I can decide the army sizes etc. one I see who we got to turn up.
I will need the following units if folks can bring them along. Alan - all the Gondor/Rohan stuff plus 9 bases of Arab cavalry (assuming each base is the standard 40by40). Don - 9 Elephants
See you all then!
