The Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game is the tabletop game for two or more players set within the world of Middle-earth. With it you can play through the events from The Lord of the Rings™, The Hobbit™, and The War of the Rohirrim™, and muster armies from these movies using your collection of miniatures. Take control of your favourite heroes, villains, and armies from across Middle-earth and recreate epic battles. Gather your forces and challenge your opponents in a test of wits, strategy, and tactical prowess.

This 176-page hardback rules manual is a comprehensive guide to the hobby of building, painting, and playing games with your miniatures – whether you choose the forces of Good or Evil.

Contents:

Introduction
An overview of the wider hobby of collecting, painting, and playing with your miniatures.

Rules
The core of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game:

– Code of Conduct and Basic Principles: A framework for players to adhere to, and a primer on the fundamental concepts and terms used in the manual.

– Turn Sequence: Learn about the five phases – Priority, Movement, Shoot, Fight, which covers close combat, and Courage and Intelligence.

– Unit Types: How Cavalry, Heroes, Monsters, Warbeasts, and Chariots work.

– Weapons and Wargear: This section explains the variety of equipment available to your warriors, and the impact your choices will have on your tactical decisions.

– Magic: This section explains targeting, casting, and resisting magical powers.

– Special Rules: This section collects together 44 common Special Rules for easy reference.

– Advanced Rules: Found in certain scenarios, these rules are handy when recreating scenes from the history of Middle-earth.

– Siege Engines: Rules for fielding these immense threats, covering their movement, firing, upgrades, and crew (and their ability to launch severed heads as ammunition…).

– Sieges: Throughout the history of Middle-earth, many sieges have taken place – these are the basic rules for creating your own sieges with your models.

Narrative Play
Recreate your favourite battles and scenes from the movies! These scenarios are also great to play as part of a campaign, where you can re-enact a chain of events, from short scenarios, to massive Sieges.

Matched Play
In Matched Play games, you and your opponent gather your forces of heroes and warriors from your collection, up to an agreed points limit, before unleashing your armies for the fate of Middle-earth.

Scenarios
This section includes six Matched Play Scenarios, each with their own layout, starting positions, initial priority, objectives, victory points, and special rules.

Trusted teething chew toy and training
I have bought 8 of these over the past seven or 8 years. Dogs and puppies love the durable yet chewy feel of them and spend hours teething on these butterfly toys. They prefer them to any other. Only one has gone missing, I daresay lost in the mechanism of a recliner somewhere. My dogs have soft mouths, they could chew them apart if they really wanted to, but they prefer to keep them handy in their dog beds to pass the time. I'm sure I'll buy some again, for crate, car, yard, wherever they spend time I make sure these are always easy for the dogs to reach. They love them.

My dogs love this!
I have been a fan of JW dog toys for a long time and so are my dogs. They take a lot of interest in chewing and are around 12lbs but tiny mouths. I get worried with other products that they will be a health hazard so I wanted something that they can enjoy safely. They love these things and I am no longer have to be worried. They have yet to bite off anything and no sharp edges. I hope it stays this way but so far I'm impressed and already got another one for my new puppy. I definitely will buy more. You can't be the price.

Didn’t last longer enough for “before” photos.
This toy lasted about 6secs period! I literally turned my back to grab my phone and when I turned around it was in about 30 pieces and I know for a fact (💩) that my dog swallowed some. Just a waste of money for me and my Labrador.

Decent product. Fun for dogs
Size: Dog Rope Toy - M
My dogs loved this toy so much that they ripped it just after a month use. So durability may be lacking a bit but my dogs loved it. The price can be less since it doesn’t last that long, it’s lightweight so it’s easy to throw, and super fun for dogs.
