Title: Middle Earth Battle in the Barrow Downs
Post by: sunjester on 22 December 2019, 08:48:29 AM
At the last Tring Wargames Club meeting Orcs and I took the opportunity to match up some of our Middle Earth armies to try out the latest version of my adaptation of Soldiers of God for Middle Earth battles.
More pictures and a report here https://tringwargames.blogspot.com/2019/12/middle-earth-angmar-battle.html

Excellent !!  :)

(Don't let Mark use any archers....He'd probably fire straight into a gale force wind and have the arrows come back into his own ranks !........ :D)

Cheers - Phil

Von's just reminded me that I managed to hit myself with an air-pistol pellet......

How the 'heck' the damn thing came straight back at me and hit me in the chest....I have no idea.

I think they had a similar idea about me when they threw me out of the South African army at the age of 26.
