Sportsmanship 

Players are expected to show their best behaviour at the event. This includes being respectful to all players, and ensuring players play in a fair and appropriate manner.

What Army Can I use: 

All armies may be used and will be split into either good (i.e. Gondor, Dwarfs, Elves etc) or Evil (Mordor, Isengard, Harad) based on what they are in the relevant sourcebooks. 

Some forces may instead take the form of traitor or mercenary forces. Players may elect to join this force upon registration or will be asked to join this force to balance each side. 

Force that will be considered to balance forces out include: Minas Tirith, Rohan, The Rangers, Arnor, Dwarven Holds, The Easterlings, Viags of Khand, Serpent Horde, and Isengard. 

How the day will work

Planning Phase:

Teams will meet up and elect a captain and/or lieutenants. Teams will then discuss the relevant missions and allocated tables. To do this, the captain will allocate players to particular tables or scenarios that would benefit their side's campaign. Once this has been decided, it will be given to the relevant TO who will approve the campaign orders (It will be rejected in the case of two players, previously playing OR being allocated to the same table). 

Players will also be assigned a number of siege assets. The captain or representative will collect this from the TO. This will come in the form of barricades, rallying calls, terrifying bonuses, and siege engine support. 

Game Phase:

During this phase you will decide on the mission with your opponent. To do this players will refer to the Table Grid and remove up to two conditions. Starting with the winning side player, you may select one square from the left hand side, or pass. It is best to place a model or dice on the space to identicate that it can't be selected anymore. The losing side player will then do the same. Both sides may then do this one more time. Once each player have had the option twice, consult the chart to determine your mission.  The last square in any row may not be selected. 

For example: Boromir selects to remove the Fog of War Mission and places a dice on it. Gothmog then decides he doesn't wish to play the Contest of Champions and places a dice on it.  Boromir does not like the Eyrie Sounds bonus so decided to remove it. Gothmog, with his last choice, decides to pass, leaving the Clear Conditions as the mission conditions. 

Remember to check the table mission, and any secret objectives you may have. 

Clean Up Phase: 

Players will submit their results and prepare their forces for the next game. Return any non table assets to the TO table. 

If your leader was wounded, make note of the model that caused the wound (or death) and gain the hatred rule against them. 

Campaign Points 

The field of osgiliath is in constant conflict between the forces of Gondor and the servants of Mordor. To represent this conflict each side will gain points throughout games to determine the outcome of osgiliath. These points are achieved by:

• Achieving a win or draw during a game.

• Completing secret missions during games 

Players will contribute the following points:

Win - 100 points

Draw - 50 

Secret Objectives - 50 points 

The team with the highest score will become the Attacker, while the lower score will be designated the Defender. 

Secret Objectives:

Not every hero has been tasked with taking or holding the great city. Some are destined for more sinister or more heroic deeds. Before the game the team will assign a number of secret missions to players on their team. These missions will feature a mix of capturing enemies, killing enemies or destroying supplies. 

Supplies: 

Commanders may spend supply points on the following: 

 Barricades  - A barricade will provide a D6 2W wall on the table. This may be attacked, or used as a defensive barricade. At the end of the game, the model stays in on the spot unless removed. 

Catapult Shot - Prior to the game, you must inform your opponent you have a catapult shot. Failure to do so will ensure the shot automatically misses. To use the catapult shot, select an enemy model and roll on the scatter table. Resolve the shot as intended. Once the shot is resolved place a ruin shot on the battlefield. 

Walkway - You may place one walkway before the game. This will allow models to move more freely across the battlefield. A walkway may be destroyed by shooting or infantry models. It counts as having D6 and W2.

Rally point - place a suitable 25mm base in your deployment zone. This marker will count as a heavy object and apply the bonus while a model of a not carrying it. While deployed any model within 3” gains the benefits of a banner and +1 courage 

Mission and Condition Cards - Place these cards over any spot on the table mission. 

Legendary Legion: Captains of Middle Earth 

Requirement: An unnamed hero choice. This model must be your leader. The force is unable to take any heroes of Valor or heroes of Legend. Your unnamed hero may be a hero of Valor.

“For the *** “ 

Your force maintains the army bonus offered to your army. The normal ally restrictions and conditions apply.  

“I wish it had not come to this” 

If your force is led by a unnamed hero and has the title of ‘captain’, ‘chieftain’, ‘king’ or ‘shaman’ you may upgrade your character to have +1 might, +1 Will and +1 Fate for free. This model will be upgraded to a Hero of Valor. 

A Hero may instead decide to become a shaman/wizard replacing their Might for 2, Will for 4 and Fate for 2. (This includes the bonus above). The model will also change its armour type to armour (for a defence of 5) and gain the spell Transfix (5+) and Fury (3+).  The model will also replace its Heroic March with Heroic Channel.

In addition, you may spend up to ‘4’ leader points to gain the following traits for your character. This is to represent the uniqueness of your leader on the field of battle. Each Trait has a points value assigned to it which must be added to the character.  Troll Chieftains may not be selected to benefit from these rules. 

For example an Orc Captain purchases a shield and warg for a total of 55 points. The Orc then decides to purchase the Expert Rider (+10 points), Heroic Strength (+5 Points) and Horselord (+5 Points) traits. This will bring the total cost of the Captain to 75 points.
