Post subject:  LotR SBG: Survival Mode
So someone requested I post my rules for the survival mode I made last August during a mega battle with muppetslayer and knighty. It is fun to play but we were kinda making it up as we went along. I have refined it slightly for you lovely people and would love to work on it more with feedback.

I was in the process of adding weapon emplacements (bolt throwers etc), I'll see if I can find that snippet in my notebook.

So take a look and let me know what you think. You can even play it solo if you wish but 3 players is the optimum number.

hmm i looked at it and im kinda confused on the gear costs it seems a bit hard to tell what costs what in some things. eg: elf bow/ elf 2 h blade i cant tell the cost is it 5 or 10 and when i see the shield and bow i cant see a cost at all :/ can u fix it please?


edit: nvm my word doc was being stupid on me. all fine now :D

just want to build upon your senario a bit because it kinda had a few holes to it eg: table size. so heres a modifed version of this just because i felt it needed to be build a little more.

Appreciate it, this was a spur of the moment thing and tbh, table size doesnt really matter. We have played it on 2 bits of goblin town and on a 2x2 square board and it works fine on either. Just scale up the enemies.

Shouldn't heavy armour be 5pts, as RotNs already have armour?
GBHL channel should play this definitely!

Maybe I didn't read cearfully but what warriors/elites are included in the Waves? It makes a difference if you are fighting moria goblins and prowlers or uruk-hais and berserkers :D

I will certainly be trying this out; the next time my friends come over and think it's a good idea to do a 3-man free-for-all, we will do this instead! Thx SD!

i did a test run with me and 1 other person and it diden't seem to me it was a survival at all :/ (well we were just fighting moria goblins) kill points to be used to modify rolls kills the game in my experience and we diden't even use a single barrier. and for elites we just used the best troops the book your using. eg: bowmen prowlers. gadabad goblins and some two handed prowler's. so ya some of my change's killed the game in some way back to rewriting when i feel like it :).

you're playing it wrong then ;) if it is too easy then add in more enemies. Also, play it on a smaller board, then it gets tough.

Post subject:  Re: LotR SBG: Survival Mode
it was just the kill point that made it to easy.

What about Elladan & Elrohir and Murin & Drar? Can you count them as too heroes each costing 70 or 75 points or one model costing 140 or 150 points?
