DUDE I love seeing more MESBG reports popping up everywhere. I just got into the game very recently after finally finishing reading all of The Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion. Unfortunately, there aren't really any MESBG clubs around me. I assume this is going to change once Rings of Power drops. Everything Tolkien will be marketed to hell and back. Which means I can finally play my Dead of Dunharrow army! Great report!
Absolutely loved this bat rep. This is what I'm here for. Bolt action, konflict 47, warhammer fantasy and lord of the rings. As long as they keep coming, I'll keep watching! Excellent work!
Hi just to explain control zone mechanics, if someone is within an inch of a enemy model at the start of there move they are not required to charge them as long as they don't move close towards that model
Loved the vid. The energy and the attitude was great, even if some of the courage tests were kind of scuffed, it's easy to miss some of those rules. I also feel like Aragorn should've charged the WK one turn earlier, and have the knight charge the orcs and close that gap. Feel like it was a bit risky to leave it up to a courage test that if it failed, Aragorn would've been in deep trouble fighting WK, orcs, and probably taking the hit from a spell too. Looking forward to seeing more of this!!
Great battle! Curtis is lookin g very dapper, but needs to fill in those troll-belly holes! Very excited for the MESBG preview tomorrow, hope it continues to generate interest in the game (best GW game system).
Loved the vid as with all the rest. I'm a big fan of you guys doing some of the thematic scenarios and awesome to have Curtis on the channel representing the game with Luca
Shieldwall is resolved after a model backs away. So you can go into combat with one model, and if they lose, they can back away 1 inch into 2 other models for the +1 on the roll
Good job. S4 on morannons though - very important and would have made a big difference, there were an awful lot of 5s on those wound rolls that should have been kills...!
Don't forget King Aragorn is a 6'' banner. Great game :). I think the might on the first aragron combat was worth it because you could have lost your mount. Also you don't have to strike two handed with a two handed weapon. So the night of the white tower dose not always have to take the -1
yes u have to strike with a twohanded weapon. BUT the Knight has also a dagger so u could use it instead of the 2h. "A model using a two-handed weapon in close combat suffers a -1 penalty to Duel rolls. When a model makes Strikes with a two-handed weapon, add 1 to its To Wound roll. Thus, a roll To Wound of a 3 becomes a 4, a 4 becomes a 5, and so on. Note, in cases where two rolls are required (e.g., 6/4+), this will affect both rolls" But i think u meant hand-and a half weapon cause they can choose HAND-AND-A-HALF WEAPONS "A hand-and-a-half weapon can be used as either a single-handed weapon or a two-handed weapon. Whenever a model armed with a hand-and-a-half weapon is involved in a Fight, the controlling player must decide at the start of the Fight whether they will be using their weapon as a single-handed weapon or a two-handed weapon"
@@mikkebullansen7461 was about to type the same thing, I've seen a few people play the wrong rules for two handed weapons, no idea why they think they can use it one handed. Ive also seen someone in tourney say they fight one handed but strike two handed, that was round 3 so the first 2 rounds no one corrected him, baffling it's one of the easiest rules and it's in the name.
I'm late catching this (re?)upload, but either War of the Ring (OOP GW rank-n-flank) or Battle Companies would make for some nice variety with more of a mass army focus than "hero hammer." In any event, great to see more MESBG! Hopefully more with the Battlehosts and Osgiliath boxes coming out.
Great report, guys! But one thing... Morannon Orcs have a Strength of 4, not 3, so they should be killing Defense 6 Gondorians on a 5+, not 6. That would have helped a lot the Mordor player...
Great Batrep, thanks. MESBG is my favourite game-keeping do them. Just curious what Gondor would do differently to try and win? its one of my favourite armies. Thanks
MESBG is definitely the best system GW do. A few rule errors, and why you didnt strike the Knight up when he was fighting the troll I don't know. But it looked like a fun game.
I think Aragon's might point could have been better spent on a heroic combat. Then again, the heroic combat does not go off unless you win and kill your opponent.
Need to read up on the rules so more as a few mistakes in this battle. On the second heroic move Aragorn called he didn't need to charge the orcs he was near. Just because he was effectively in their control zone at the start that doesn't mean he has to end his move in their control zone. He could have moved off and charged the witch king instead.
I'm honestly glad for the second channel. I'm so burned out of 40k now, and never really cared for AoS. So I've unsubbed from there and just subbed here, where I see games that do interest me.
I made an army rate 1-10 Aragorn king. with horse Faramir with armor shield and bow banner warrior of minas tirith captain of minas tirith 8 warriors of minas tirith with shield 8 warriors of minas tirith with bow 8 warriors of minas tirith with spear and shield 6 knight's of minas tirith with shield cost was 694 points with 37 units
I'm so glad MWG is covering the MESBG. It's such a good system.
Great seeing some MESBG, it’s my favorite game system!
For the future, Morannon Orcs are strength 4 meaning they wound Defense 6 models on 5s
When Luca was describing the mission, was there supposed to be just wooden panels with no graphics?

First combat phase I'm screaming aragon banner!!!
Great video! please continue to bring us more MESBG greatness! Hopefully the game blows up more when the new army boxes come out
Great to see ME on the channel. Loved the armies, few small rule issues but ultimately really enjoyable
The game ends in the turn AFTER one army breaks, so you were right about the abrupt ending, but really enjoyed it guys
My all time favorite GW system. A big YES for more MESBG content!
I didn't even know about this channel. So excited to see you guys cover MESBG!
Loved the vid. The energy and the attitude was great, even if some of the courage tests were kind of scuffed, it's easy to miss some of those rules.

Love to see this!
Brilliant!!! 😎 lovin the MESBG, keep it up 😎😎😎
Whoo. I beseech the UA-cam algorithm gods for their blessings. Could you do more ‘This is Not a Test’
Great battle! Curtis is lookin g very dapper, but needs to fill in those troll-belly holes! Very excited for the MESBG preview tomorrow, hope it continues to generate interest in the game (best GW game system).

I think it was worth using the might point for Aragorn, you dont wanna risk the orcs attacking and killing his horse
enjoying MESBG Please keep showing it

Love the enthusiasm 👍
Great Batrep, thanks. MESBG is my favourite game-keeping do them. Just curious what Gondor would do differently to try and win? its one of my favourite armies. Thanks
17:45 the troll is alive!
Morannon's S4 would've killed D6 knights on a 5...
Very enjoyable.
MESBG is definitely the best system GW do.
A few rule errors, and why you didnt strike the Knight up when he was fighting the troll I don't know.

Love some Middle earth woo

Yessssss
Best ruleset of GW
Love MESBG - Can I ask why there is a 2nd channel? Is there a need to split your audience in such a way?
I'm honestly glad for the second channel. I'm so burned out of 40k now, and never really cared for AoS. So I've unsubbed from there and just subbed here, where I see games that do interest me.
S4 into D6 is 5+ :) that's kinda the point of taking morannons
I made an army rate 1-10
Aragorn king. with horse
Faramir with armor shield and bow
banner warrior of minas tirith
captain of minas tirith
8 warriors of minas tirith with shield
8 warriors of minas tirith with bow
8 warriors of minas tirith with spear and shield
6 knight's of minas tirith with shield
cost was 694 points with 37 units
Wooohoooo!
More LOTR. It is a good day.
More MESBG!
YEEES!
"Calvary"
It's Cavalry.
