This is a totally new edition of the game with a weighty 176-page, hardcover rules manual to match. This tome features an introduction to the game, and all the rules that underpin it.

On top of the core rules, you’ll find detailed information on unit types, such as Cavalry, Heroes, Monsters and War Beasts, alongside weapons, wargear, and magic. There are 44 special rules for individual units, and a section on advanced rules to add extra depth to your games.

Rules for sieges allow for breathtaking assaults supported by siege engines, so you can recreate some of the most cinematic moments in the movies. A section on Matched Play provides information on how to build competitive armies and six scenarios to play out, while the Narrative Play primer gives you even more options to explore Middle-earth. This manual will be available to order in hardback.
