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:

– 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.

– Magic: This section explains targeting, casting, and resisting magical powers.
– Special Rules: This section collects together 44 common Special Rules for easy reference.
