Let me check with Matt (brightblade) as he might be after a game...
Sweet!
I would love a game! What's this about a campaign?
How would you like to play? Points? Which army are you using? Etc...
We can do points if you like? 500-600? That seems a fairly standard points game. We could do one one of the 6 new scenarios (in the the front of the source books),lords of battle, high ground..... Etc... I believe you have to roll to see which one you get. There all based around victory points rather than to the death.
I can play high elves, uruks, Mordor, Harad, dwarves, gondor, rohan.....(list is endless). However, I'm playing Harad in the campaign, so would be good to give them a run about. Just a word of warning I would have to play a Mumak to make 500-600 points of pure Harad. Or I can play with a mix of Harad and Mordor if you don't want to face a Mumak. (I can understand why).
A Harad army I can make for 600 points;
1 Mumak with rocks + tusk weapons 315 points
12 haradrim warriors with bow + shooting upgrade (+3 shoot value) 108 points
9 haradrim with spear 63 points
3 haradrim with spear and courage upgrade (4) 24 points
Either hasharin or suladan (both 90 points)
This makes 600 points
Or I can make 500 Harad with Mordor ally
Knight of umbar on armoured horse
6 wargs
9 Harad with bow and shoot upgrade
6 Harad with spear
3 Harad with spear and courage upgrade
1 hasharin
1 chieftain with spear
Which would you prefer!!!
I don't mind. Never played against a mumak. Shall we keep it small? Easy to transport?
I will bring my stuff along, probably use elves as I won't get to use them in the campaign. My army has no cavalry as of yet. Not painted my horsey elves but can do 500 or so points. I have some scenery too so I'll bring that.
Great. Looking forward to it!
