GATHERING THE TROOPS
Good
3 Rangers
Evil
2 Uruk hai
After an epic twilight battle, troops on both sides are scattered across the battlefield during the night. Those remaining begin searching (at opposite ends of the battlefield) for their comrades.
Place 10 markers at various locations around the table. Each time a warrior comes into contact with a marker, that player removes the marker and rolls a D6. The roll determines who and how many troops have been found, if any. On an odd number, enemy troops of that number are found. On even numbers, friendly troops of that number have been located.
Newly located troops are placed 1” from the marker where they were located. They are immediately active as part of their side’s normal phase.
The maximum number of troops for either side is 24.
Roll for priority.
Objective: Utter destruction of the enemy.
Victory is declared when all enemy troops are destroyed.
HIGHWAY AMBUSH
Good
Frodo
Samwise Gamgee
10 Wood Elves
10 Wood Elves in support
Evil
Orc Captain
24 Orcs
The Wood Elves have been tasked with accompanying Frodo and Sam through dangerous territory. Orcs lay in wait along the way, hidden in the woods. Good begins at one end of the road. Orcs are deployed as the game progresses.
Good moves first.
Orcs are deployed at the beginning of Evil’s move phase each turn. Up to 6 orcs may be deployed each turn, at Evil’s discretion. Orcs are deployed no less than 2” from the edge of the road, but are otherwise unlimited as to where they will appear.
If the company is able to get within 24” of the far edge of the board, an additional 10 Wood Elves appear at the far edge of the board to lay down covering fire.
Objective: The Orcs seek to destroy both Frodo and Sam.
Evil scores a major victory if both Hobbits are killed, a minor victory if one Hobbit is killed.
Good wins if both Hobbits safely reach the far edge of the board.
Note: Wood Elves abide by the Woodland Creature rule and can therefore move their full movement range and still shoot while in the woods.
NIGHT AMBUSH
Good
Legolas
10 Wood Elves
Evil
Orc Captain
24 Orcs
Set up a circle of woods and make the surrounding forest as thick as you care to. Place the Orc tower (or other safe haven) about 30" from the inner ring of the forest.
Legolas and the Wood Elves are deployed tightly grouped 6” from the outer edge of the wood. The Orcs are placed anywhere inside the inner ring of the woods (their camp).
Good moves first.
As long as the Wood Elves move at half speed, the Orcs do not react to the presence of the Wood Elves until either a sentry spots them or an Orc is killed. After each of Good’s movement phases, Evil rolls a D6. If a 5 or 6 is rolled, the Wood Elves have been spotted and the Orcs may react as normal.
Objective: The Orcs try to escape to the nearby tower.
Evil wins if at least 13 Orcs reach the tower door.
Good wins if at least 13 Orcs are destroyed before they reach the tower door.
Note: Wood Elves abide by the Woodland Creature rule and can therefore move their full movement range and still shoot while in the woods.

TREASURE QUEST
Good
20 Rangers
Evil
Orc Captain
24 Orcs
Good and Evil are placed at opposite ends of the table, within 6” of their respective edges.
11 treasure piles are placed at various locations near the middle of the table.
Objective: Each side seeks to capture the most gold with the highest value until either all the treasure has been accounted for or one side is completely destroyed.
A treasure is considered captured when a figure moves into base contact with it and stays there through an entire Move Phase (Good and Evil both have one Move Phase each) without being engaged in a fight.
Once a treasure is captured, the captor rolls a D6 to determine the value of the treasure. 1= 100 gold, 2= 200 gold, and so on.
If all the treasure has been captured and neither side completely destroyed, treasure totals are calculated to determine the winner.
Note: The Rangers abide by the Woodland Creature rule and can therefore move their full movement range and still shoot. For this game, Orcs have a speed of 6.
