Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game: Rules Manual

Tabletop skirmish wargame set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth where players field collections of Citadel and Forge World miniatures to recreate scenes and battles from the books and films. Players build armies of heroes, troops, monsters and siege engines, assemble and paint models, then resolve games using a phased turn sequence that includes priority, movement, shooting, fighting and morale tests. The rules cover weapons and wargear, magical powers, special and advanced rules, monster interactions and siege mechanics. Multiple play modes support narrative scenarios, open-ended custom games and balanced matched play with points, alliances and scenario objectives, plus example armies and hobby guidance for building and painting forces.
