    Hey guys! Love seeing the content and keen to see more. I just wanted to drop here for Luca that the capt and the og knight of the white tower are on the wrong size base. Hero's on foot just use the standard 25mm. Thanks!

    Funny how almost every battle report with Gondor I see has Boromir instead of King Elessar lol. Everyone says the same thing too... "I thought I'd do something different and take Boromir..." Great content gentleman!

    A couple notes:
    1.) you don’t roll for game end until the turn after you are broken. This is because you check for if you are broken at the start of the game round. So this game should have gone on one more round.
    2.) you need to declare heroic actions at the start of their applicable phase. So you can’t declare a channel as you move the wraith, you do it at the start, the same timing as calling heroic moves. That makes for some interesting choices because you know who is channeling before anyone moves.

    Great vid guys! Love the MESBG content! The Will of Evil special rule for Ringwraiths means they lose 1 will per turn when they're in combat and once they get reduced to 0 will they are removed from play - would have made a massive difference to the game!

      Wit this Legendary Legion they lose the Will of Evil Rule! Among other things, making them very viable to play as their own force.

    Cool stuff, I heard you mention you're from the Buffalo/WNY area in another vid. I subbed up for the content, which is great, and glad to help out a Buffalo Ian brotha.
    I'm just getting back into tabletop after a long hiatus, or considering it - wanna get my fam on board to have easy built in play partners at the house. Where should I look to buy the models etc from, Amazon, GW, or is there a great local shop in our area? My cousin lived at a place called Iron Crown years ago that sold everything, but I had bought from GW in the Galleria. Likely should have supported the mom and pop shop then, but GW was pure convenience.
    Lastly, your mat is amazing, - can you drop a link? Looking to do things on a budget go test the waters and interest.
    Much love, have a good one

    Really cool to see mesbg. @Luca, In the second shooting phase I would have prioritized the mounted nazgul above the dismounted one. The chance of killing a horse is way bigger, and then you would have severely impacted the mobility and charge bonus.

    So round two boromir would have been able to kill the witch king and another one in one combat if you would have use a heroic combat.

  • @motoshudenyamanato921
    @motoshudenyamanato921 2 роки тому

    Lucas call heroic combat to kill more models at the beginning of the combat phase. When you use it all models including your hero if they kill the enemy in combat they can all move and go in another combat.

    Things to note.
    The WK can’t take the crown in this LL.
    Wraiths can’t use fate on their horses.
    Cav on cav don’t get the +1 attack when they charge.
    Minis Tirith warriors have a shoot value of 4 (you were picking up 3s).
    Pre faq wraiths die and count as casualties when they reach 0 Will remaining.
    The model calling the Heroic move MUST move first.
    Your captain and Knight of the White Tower are on the wrong base size.
    Need to get the basics right for the game to be watchable IMO. Would suggest some smaller practice games with the rule book to hand to get the rules fully down before filming any more battle reports.

    4's into 6's into 5's means 1/2*1/6*1/3 so statistically you need 36 attacks to wound once.
    I would never play a game this luck heavy :S

      thats just because the wraiths are defence 8!, its like shooting a bow at a tank!
