  • Battle Report: ROTWK levels 1-2

    I did these levels a while ago so I will gloss over them.....

     

    The Witch-King of Angmar, intent on bringing northern Middle Earth under his domain, has started out to gain allies. Bringing leaders into his following he persuades Rogash, troll of the North, and Morgomir, first of the Ringwraiths, to come to his command. Gaining support of the trolls and  the evil ment of the north, including hillmen and dark rangers, he sets out to upset the northern kingdom. First he raids the villiges of the hillmen unwilling to join him, and finds another commander, Hwaldar, to lead them. Then he assembles an army to take out the two Arnor garrisons that lie accross the river. He first attacks the northern one, but as he breaches the walls a detatchment of calvary from the southern garrison arrives, driveing a ragged army back to camp.

    After some time of defending the outpost, the withking re- assembles his army and attacks the southern camp, which has just exhausted its forces in aiding it's northern ally. Morgomir insists on bringing more catapults, and thus he stays behind to oversee their construction.

    Meanwhile a group of assorted trolls, men, the witch king and a catapult manage to breach the walls of the southern camp, but the archers from the towers lining the garrison cause the toll to be great. The Witch king is about to retreat when Morgomir arives bringing Dark rangers, Angmar's elite archers. The army pilliges the garrison and razes the rest to the ground.

    The Lieutenant of Morgul is rallying his troops to continue to the northern garrison when a horn sounds. Arnor King Argeleb arrives with reinforcements. The Witch- King rushes them with the rest of the army in a desperate attempt to slay the king. When the reinforcements are dealt with the Witch-King laughs in delight to see most of the remaining garrison have fled, and he orders a detatchment to burn it.

  • Battle report.....

    I noticed on a site called matrix forums, a pc game producedr that my brother frequents, that they do "AAR", or After Action Reports, essentially describing ones gamin experience as if it were a story, or a historical description, so as long as I am posting again I thought I'd give it a try. Currently I am playing Battle for Middle earth: II, Rise of the Witch King, depictting the witch king of angmar's conquest in the north.... soo, yeahh

  • LOTR Figures

     Ok, if I don't post I probably won't stay on Xanga....sooo

    Of my many hobbies, I collect Lord of the Rings figures, manufactured by Games Wokshop, which can be painted and used in a strategy game put out by the same company. My brother usually prefers treating them like normal toy soldier, but at any rate it's an interesting hobby.

    ebay

    I was too lazy to get pictured of my own collection, which will be coming, but to show an idea of what they are I downloaded pics of other people's which are just about as good as mine....

     

     Oh, and the top one was an Ebay set that I got for Christmas.......so I really do have that many, I just didn't paint them...

  • AHA!!!!!

    Yes!! I got what I'll blog on! It will probably be completely uninteresting, to whoever else reads this, you probably will no longer ourt of boredom. I don't know why I am so eager to do this. At any rate, I want to orgainize history of middle earth, which is basically a book I would publish but for that te rights to lord of the rings are probably some of the hardest to get.

    Additionally, I want to make this an outlet for posting pictures of LOTR miniatures I paint, as well as battle reports of the scenarios I play with them.

    And other generic LOTR based boredom.

    If I get the time.

    *sigh*

  • What exactly does one blog on?

    What  should I blog on!!???????

    I have no idea why I got this blog other than I like lotr ALOT,

    i WANTED (ahh, there's 'caps lock')...to add in that backround

    I wanted to be able to comment on 'Schpiels'

    Okay, there's reasons.

    But what have I gotten into?????????

    So should I continue making this a random blog where I write just like in my other, www.myrandomdoings.blogspot.com ,or should I keep with LOTR?

     

    I should think LOTR

    So the question arises- what does one blog on?

    When you have to make calls for boy scouts, you need to sand the deck, and your mom is nagging at you to practice your speech: Nothing.

    Madness.
