![]() They are also a very slightly different blue and red than those in the original too. All the miniatures are pretty good and seem to be made of more robust, harder plastic than those of the original War of the Ring game. There are eight figures for each faction, a faction die for each player, faction event cards, call to battle cards, event cards and a new character: Treebeard! Unfortunately, although you get a Treebeard character card, there is no Treebeard figure, which is a shame. The Shadow player gets a choice of The Hillmen of Dunland (also known as the Dunlendings), the Corsairs of Umbar and the Spiders. For the Free Peoples player there are Ents, the terrifying Dead Men of Dunharrow and the Eagles. Warriors of Middle-Earth introduces six new factions to get your teeth into. Of course they don't! Because in War of the Ring things are never simple and Warriors of Middle-Earth is a game very much in the spirit of the original. However, these new factions don't just play in the way that the way that the original ones in the base game did. More cool figures to move around, Ents and Eagles to help you defend your vulnerable strongholds and Corsairs to help you surprise your opponent. It doesn't need the extra help! Well, here is War of the Ring: Warriors of Middle-Earth, a box filled with delights. Each Event Card can also create an unexpected turn in the game, allowing special actions or altering the course of a battle.Another expansion for the mega-game that is War of the Ring? Surely War of the Ring is big and bad enough all on its own. Event Cards are played to represent specific events from the story (or events which could possibly have happened) which cannot be portrayed through normal game-play. Depending on the face rolled on each die, different actions are possible (moving armies, characters, recruiting troops, advancing a Political Track).Īction dice can also be used to draw or play Event Cards. But the Companions can spur the Free Peoples to the fight against Sauron, so the Free People player must balance the need to protect the Ringbearer from harm, against the attempt to raise a proper defense against the armies of the Shadow, so that they do not overrun Middle Earth before the Ringbearer completes his quest.Įach game turn revolves around the roll of Action Dice: each die corresponds to an action that a player can do during a turn. ![]() Sauron is not aware of the real intention of his enemies but is looking across Middle Earth for the precious Ring, so that the Fellowship is going to face numerous dangers, represented by the rules of The Hunt for the Ring. But the true hope of the Free Peoples lies with the quest of the Ringbearer: while the armies clash across Middle Earth, the Fellowship of the Ring is trying to get secretly to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. War of the Ring (Second Edition) can be won by a military victory, if Sauron conquers a certain number of Free People cities and strongholds or vice versa. Initially, the Free People Nations are reluctant to take arms against Sauron, so they must be attacked by Sauron or persuaded by Gandalf or other Companions, before they start to fight properly: this is represented by the Political Track, which shows if a Nation is ready to fight in the War of the Ring or not. ![]() In War of the Ring, one player takes control of the Free Peoples (FP), the other player controls Shadow Armies (SA).
