MESBG Campaign Overview

This will be a list of the reports of campaign scenarios played mainly through Tabletop Simulator in timeline order from the current edition of Middle Earth Strategy battle game in text format.

The following rules of the campaign will be in place:

  • Good will always take the first turn unless otherwise specified.  
  • Campaign Scenario bonuses will be applied where possible based on which side won the previous Scenario.
  • Bravest Companion and Fool of a Took will only be applied where applicable in each scenario to core recuring heroes.
  • As per the Quest of the Ringbearer rundown of how the Fellowship recover between each Scenario, I will be applying this characteristic reduction and recovery on all characters between Scenarios if they appear in multiple. This will include permanent deaths, which may greatly change the campaign and this will apply to both Good and Evil forces. The exceptions to this are Ringwraiths and the Necromancer.
  • Should heroes who are fated to die, instead live through their respective Scenario and the Good side win, where applicable, they will continue on and be added into any future Scenarios where they would be. (Please Boromir, you can do this.)
Commonly used hero's statistics and tracking will be kept at the bottom of this page for their current campaign status. The hero's status following each scenario will be in the respective scenario page. 

Scenario 1: The Last Alliance

Gandalf 3/6*/3 3W (1 Kill)

Scenario 11: Battle of the Greenfields

Image
The Shire was a place of peace, few others knew of the Hobbit's existence let alone where they called home. A place that war had never touched since they dwelt there. Though unaware to the Hobbit's themselves they were protected by the Dúnedain who kept watch over their borders and stopped almost every attempt of anyone to invade. As the years progressed for the Shire there was once such invasion the Dúnedain couldn't stop. An amas of Orc's and Wargs lead by Glorfimbul attacked, the Hobbits despite being unaccustomed to war still rose up against the invaders. Lead by a giant (for hobbit standards) Brandobras Took engaged in a battle that would forever be known in Hobbit history.  Forces of Good: Bandobras Took 3x Ranger of the North 8x Hobbit Militia 4x Hobbit Archer 4x Hobbit Shirriff Forces of Evil: Golfimbul, Orc Chieftain on Warg 12x Warg Riders (4x Shield, 4x Throwing Spear and Shield, 4x Bow) Additionally, the following rules are in play: Should Bandobras or Golfi...

Scenario 1: The Battle of the Last Alliance

Image
The big scenario to set the stage, is the culmination of the second age and the final stand of Sauron against the Men and Elves who united against him. At the end of a twelve year conflict the Dark Lord finally emerges to deal with Elendil and Gil-Galad, the high kings of the Men and Elves respectively.  This is one of the few scenarios of this campaign that was played in person, so please excuse the lack of fully painted armies and a few proxies. I loved when I played this scenario before and thought it would be the game that I used the history for to kick off my new campaign. Forces of Good: Elendil, High King of Gondor and Arnor Isildur Gil-Galad, High King of the Elves Elrond, Master of Rivendell (Heavy Armour) 36x Warrior of Numenor (12x Shield, 12x Spear and Shield, 12x bow) 37x High Elf Warriors (12x Nothing extra, 12x Spear and Shield, 12x Bow, 1x Banner) Forces of Evil: The Dark Lord Sauron 4 Orc Captains (Shield) 2 Mordor Trolls 72 Mordor Orc Warriors (24x Shield, 24x Spe...
