We’re back with our final batches of narrative scenarios for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. This time, we finish the quest of Thorin and his companions as they finally reclaim Erebor in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies™. Dwarves, Elves, Men and Orcs clash in one of the greatest battles of the Third Age.
Narrative Scenarios are the lifeblood of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, allowing players to recreate iconic scenes from the films and books with their collections of miniatures. Picking your favourite scenes, assembling the appropriate forces, and playing through the battles is a great way to feel part of the story – either trying to faithfully recreate the events, or change the course of history. This week we reach the epic climax of The Hobbit: Motion Picture Trilogy™ as Thorin and his allies prepare for war in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies™
Within this PDF you will find three narrative scenarios, capturing some of the most exciting scenes from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Experience Smaug’s devastating attack on Lake-town and the defining moment of Bard the Bowman, recreate the huge Battle of the Five Armies itself in its entirety using models from all factions, and play out the final confrontation between Thorin Oakenshield and Azog the Defiler upon Ravenhill as these two bitter enemies fight to the death.
Each narrative scenario lists all the participants you will need to play through these iconic scenes from the movie, gives guidance on how to lay out your board, and provides a slew of special rules to adapt the gameplay and help make the battle feel just like the scenes you see on screen.
Will you stand beside Thorin Oakenshield during his defining moments, or will you take up arms in the armies of the Pale Orc and bring death to Dwarf-kind?
The future

However, this is not the end. Keep your eyes peeled in the future for more narrative scenarios featuring more of the most iconic events and battles from the wider history of Middle-earth.
