Middle-Earth Battle Strategy Game Quest of the Ringbearer

As the Third Age of Middle-earth drew to a close, the defining events of the era were marked by the grand conflicts of the War of the Ring. Yet, the most pivotal moment of all was the destruction of the One Ring and the ultimate defeat of Sauron. Central to this victory was the epic quest of the Fellowship of the Ring, whose members' actions—both heroic and tragic—shaped the fate of all Middle-earth.

This expansion for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game immerses you in the momentous journey of the Fellowship of the Ring. It provides rich background on the Fellowship's odyssey and the myriad challenges they faced, complemented by a comprehensive array of new rules, scenarios, and profiles. You’ll find a detailed campaign featuring 28 linked scenarios that allow you to recreate every significant battle involving the Fellowship, from intimate skirmishes to grand confrontations, using your Citadel and Forge World miniatures.

Inside this 128-page hardback supplement, you will find:

• Scenarios: 28 narrative scenarios capturing the entire journey, from Frodo’s initial encounter in Farmer Maggot's field to the climactic destruction of the One Ring at Mount Doom.

• The Journey of the Ringbearer: A system for connecting the scenarios into a continuous campaign, where each battle influences the next. Includes rules for the progression of the journey, character injuries, and recovery.
