Some gaming in the Middle Earth

The new edition of the MIddle Earth Strategy Battle Game is a great game. Especially as I started the game about year ago, the new interest on it is great. We had a 12 player tournament at our club yeasterday which was quite a feat in the local scene, as the 40k tournaments tend to not get much more players nowadays in Finland. I had other stuff to do for most of the day, so I only got to play the last battle, but I played a game with a friend who also couldn't make it during the week. The earlier game I won against Isenguard with my combined arms of Mordor and Harad, but in the tournament I faced (again) the Elves I have faced a few times already in recent history and got beaten again. Still, both games were awesome and just added fuel to the Lord of the Rings heat I have.


Nice boards, including one of mine.


My friend Janne had got his elves in bit less red shape during the night before the tournament, and also had made an awesome Moria board out of an Ikea Lack table. The scenario had 6 objectives on the table, of which one was the right relic and the forces came tot he table from random edges.

I got my both warbands on the table from the same edge while the elves were split in two.

Combined forces in the service of Sauron.

Playing going on.

In combat, an elf runs away with the prize while the Betrayer tries to Compel him to come closer. Elves won almost all of the combats in the game.



Elven archers move in from the flank.


An aerial photo showing my very favourable situation, which I somehow still managed to lose. I had almost my whoel force against 6 elves for two turns, the Elrond came and sweeped everyone from their feet.

Agains Isengard we played Storm the Camp.

Big melee erupted next to central hill. My poisoned archery and two waves of orcs took the vicotry. 




Not shown here, but the highlight of the game was when The Betrayer killed Saruman.

Breaking silence

Didn't post anything for a whileas I was far too busy with other stuff. My spring was quite hectic in Work (had 7 business trips since beginning of April) and I was organizing the miniature side of Ropecon 2019. Both went well, but didn't really have the push to write anything here. Well as I was organizing the Ropecon, it allowed me to also organize some events that I have wanted to have there. Most important was Armies on Parade competition. As I decided it was best to run as a public vote, I also got to participate myself. I made a (smallish) display board for my shadow elves and also finished them to full 8 points Saga force (actually I'm still missing a wizard from that, but well close to it). I'll write more about how I made the board, but this is about the miniatures. The first pics are also from the first game I had with them. I introduced my friend to Saga age of Magic and to the second edition of Saga and he used my Undead force. So it was quite a nice c...

Welcome

Hello, this is my first blog post. I have been thinking about starting a miniature game blog for some time now mainly to use as sort of hobby diary, but also to share back to the community which has been a great inspiration for me. Short introduction I'm Jaakko (also known as Jamopower in the dark depths of the internet), a soon 34 years old chemical process engineer from Finland. I have played miniature games since the year 1999, when we started playing Warhammer 5th edition with some friends with whom we had been playing role playing games for a while. It was love at first sight and I was seriously hooked on tin and plastic. After that it was mostly Warhammer of both varieties until I moved to Helsinki in year 2011 and found the local wargaming club, where I started getting influences of many other games. Also of course it helped that I started working full time around then and had bit better resources for all sorts of different games. First I started playing Infinity,...

Four way Erehwon

Image
We played a big four player Warlords of Erehwon match few weeks ago. The system works very well in the multiplayer format. The game was also a treat, as we were playing with old friends and everyone had got some new stuff for the occasion. We used Age of Sigmar Open war cards for the scenario bit modified, so that we had three objective cards, and each of us had a secret objective and a twist. It has been some time after the game, so details have lost in time (like tears in rain), but here are some action shots: The board. My elves deployed. Janne's elves deployed. The view to Undead and knightly side. My king took the front charge. Birds eye view. Knights advance, Lauri had painted the whole army for this game. Great effort. They were supported by a bear. Overall view. The undead advance. Prince takes damage and pins. The other elves go for the knights. Village side of the table. In game action. ...
