Well, here you go, the beta for my Middle Earth Battles Rules. After a very successful playtest last weekend I incorporated many updates and got the Rohan and Isengard army lists into a playable state.
To be clear on a few things:
- I’m sharing these so that other wargamers may enjoy them. But the primary purpose of these rules is to serve my own purposes with my group. They are a work of fan fiction. And in no way meant to replace any official rules offered by Games Workshop.
- I’ve only just started playtesting the rules. While many elements are based on my Empires at War (Napoleonic’s) and This Hallowed Ground (ACW) rules. This represents a major shift in the core game away from a “shooting focused” game system for horse and musket periods. To a “melee” focused game that I intend to use for not just Middle Earth, but for other historical periods such as the 100 Years War and War of the Roses.
- I’m absolutely all ears on any feedback you wish to provide, simply just pass it along. Also happy to answer questions as time permits. However, please do realize that I have a full time and very demanding job. So any “rules support” is strictly as time permits.
Finally, I’m not saying these are the best fit for everyone. They are very much written and presented for those who are experienced wargamers. And have some background in historical wargame rules. If you are a Games Workshop pure-blood wargamer, these may not be for you.
I’m very focused here on mass battles. Hence many granular aspects of the field of battle or units heroes, intentionally abstracted into units/special rules.
