Once More Unto the West

Back again and hopefully sticking to a play schedule now that the holidays have partially passed, it's MESBG time! For this game I'm playing against Nick and his Riders of Theoden Legendary Legion. Nick and I have been pals for quite some time but haven't played each other in MESBG yet (well, except for a learning game a long time ago that's best left undetailed) and he's also packing a fairly competitive army. Going against Rohan, and in particular this Legion, has been on my To Do List for awhile since I need to know if my lines can handle so many Cavalry Heroes. Let's see how it went. Lothlórien and Survivors of Lake-Town - Convenient Allies Galadriel (Leader) 8x Guard of the Galadhrim Court 6x Wood Elf Warriors w/ Elf Bow, Wood Elf Spear 4x Wood Elf Warrior w/ Wood Elf Spear Bard the Bowman w/ Horse 6x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe 12x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe, Bow Lake-Town Militia Captain 9x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe Lake-Town Militia Captain 9x Lake-Town Militi...

Managed to make it up to play this Saturday as our normal FLGS was occupied by an event, little bit of a drive for me but worth it for a game. This time I got a match against The Dead of Dunharrow, I don't know the player's name but we had not faced off before so that's a nice icing on the cake. Not much else to say so let's dive right in! Lothlórien and Survivors of Lake-Town - Convenient Allies Galadriel (Leader) 8x Guard of the Galadhrim Court 6x Wood Elf Warriors w/ Elf Bow, Wood Elf Spear 4x Wood Elf Warrior w/ Wood Elf Spear Bard the Bowman w/ Horse 6x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe, Bow 12x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe Lake-Town Militia Captain 4x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe, Bow 8x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe Lake-Town Militia Captain 4x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe, Bow 8x Lake-Town Militia w/ Axe Pretty much my normal list although I have moved things around. Mostly just a lot of infantry backed up by Elven infantry and some fighty Heroes plus Galadriel. I've been liking it a...

I've been quiet for a few weeks as I also haven't had a game of MESBG over that time. Entirely my fault, I've been busy with other things but should be getting back into the swing of things this week. Fortunately that came to pass as I got a game in against a new player on Wednesday during one of the normal meetup nights. I didn't do a proper Battle Report of the game since he was new, so that seemed a bit unfair, and I also expected the match to take a very long time (which it did). I took my WIP Lake-Town/Lothlórien Army and we did play a 750 Point game, that was my opponent's preference. He was playing vanilla Isengard and using what he had which was a bunch of Urukhai with either Shields or Pikes, a Banner, a Troll with Shield, Lurtz, two Orc Captains (one on Warg), 5 Warg Riders, and 4 Crossbows. So quite a high body count but not much Might/Hero power. My army was Galadriel with 10 Court Guard, two Knights with Shields, and 6 Wood Elves w/ Bows and Spears. The...
