Mythical Earth - Old figures, Contemporary rules

 A recent post at The Duchy of Tradgardland has prompted me to pull my Mythical Earth figures out of storage for a little battle using Portable Wargame Fantasy rules. An additional rule was added for the Nazgul as the Ringwraithes created Fear among their foes. Units in close combat with the Nazgul must roll a d6 each turn; 456 they may fight on, 23 they must fall back a move (where possible) 1 they run away and will leave the field if not rallied by the King.

A (false) rumour suggests that a ring of power has been found and is being held in a ruined manor house. Both Gondor and Mordor send a force to recover it. The two armies arrive simultaneously and clash.

The orcs are shown no mercy, the Nazgul vanishes
returning to its master. Gondor is victorious.

  1. Nice battle report. I think I owned figures like these back when they were new. Fun to see them getting used again.
