Castellan of the Ring

I did not note down the exact day but around January 2021 I started to actively collect, paint and play MESBG after a prelude beginning in December 2020, when I actually bought the starter box for my girlfriend. A lot has happened since then and I thought it would be a good opportunity to write down all the positive experiences and developments I was able to have through this wonderful hobby =) One year of MESBG Reclaiming  enthusiasm for an old friend I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings as a teenager, right after seeing the first movie in cinema. From the very beginning I enjoyed both versions and I am still grateful for the experience to having known what awesome things are going to happen in the movies (through reading the books beforehand) and awaiting them with pleasant anticipation. Time went by and for a long time I did not watch the movies nor read the books. All the more intense did it feel to relive the same motivation and love for Tolkiens work when I finally d...

Gestern habe ich mich wieder mit einem alten Freund von der FH getroffen um ein paar Matches MESBG in der Game Area von SirenGames in Wien zu spielen. Eines davon war zwischen meiner Dol Guldur Armee versus seiner Isengart Streitmacht. Aufbau Ich spielte wieder meine Aufstieg des Nekromanten Legendäre Legion - falls ihr euch erinnert, habe ich sie bereits beim letzten Mal eingesetzt und da gegen die LL Die Rückkehr des Königs,  dabei aber vereinfachte Regeln verwendet und ich wurde leicht besiegt. Dieses Mal spielten wir mit allen Regeln und mit einem höheren Punktelimit. Unser Punktelimit war dieses Mal ungefähr 800 Punkte, wir spielten Szenario 9 aus dem Regelbuch (Erobern und Kontrollieren). Das war meine Liste - Aufstieg des Nekromanten LL Der Nekromant von Dol Guldur (Armeeanführer) Nazgul von Dol Guldur: -Der Hexenkönig von Angmar -Der Dunkle Scharfrichter -Der Schatten, der verweilt -Der Vergessene -Der Ritter des Abgrunds x 2 -Der Menschenschlächter Kastellan von Dol Guld...

Today I met again with my old university friend to play some MESBG in the game area of SirenGames Vienna. One of these matches was my Dol Guldur army versus his Isengard force. Setup I played again my Rise of the Necromancer legendary legion - if you remember last time I already used it against my friends Return of the King LL but we used simplified rules and I was easily beaten. This time we played by all available rules and with a higher point limit. Our point limit was roughly 800 points and we played scenario 9 from the rule book (Conquest & Control? Sorry I have it only in German and am not sure how its named in English). This was my list - Rise of the Necormancer LL The Necromancer of Dol Guldur (Army Leader) Nazgul of Dol Guldur: -The Witch King of Angmar -The Dark Headsman -The Lingering Shadow -The Forsaken -The Abyssal Knight x 2 -The Slayer of Men Castellan of Dol Guldur Isengard (more rough listing since we did not use printed out army lists, so just what I reme...
