Many years ago I picked up the Lord of the Rings miniature game. I dabbled with a few games but never really played much.

Then, many moons ago, we were surfing youtube and came across some guys calling themselves the GBHL (Great British Hobbit League); they were pretty damn enthusiastic to be playing LotR Strategy Battle Game.. (yes, this was at the start of their channel). Enthusiasm is contagious.

My son, Kieran, and I subscribed and started watching immediately. Shortly after I brought out my old rule-books, bought a tonne of figures (still unpainted mostly... I know) and books and we began playing often.

Recently we decided to start a small campaign of Battle Companies. Kieran has been very excited to play this again after a somewhat long hiatus.

This time we played a Rescue scenario. A Rivendell warband is trying to save their hero and drive away the dreaded Easterling forces. Who will win the day?

Please note, it has been a while since we played so we are a bit rusty. In our hubris, we completely forgot the army bonuses for our factions while playing.

If you like the Middle Earth (LotR and the Hobbit) SBG you should definitely check out these dedicated channels (among others): GBHL (Great British Hobbit League), DC Hobbit League, Blackfyre Productions, StF Wargaming Studio, ZorpaZorp, ERRA Cuin Caladrim, Hot Gates Gaming, and the Ontario Hobbit League. I am sure I am missing a bunch of great channels soon to be discovered!
