As with many wargamers, I got my introduction into the hobby with the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game, specifically the DeAgostini partworks magazine series, Battle Games in Middle-earth. As such, MESBG holds a special place in my hobby life and I regard it as one of the better game systems produced by Games Workshop, rose-tinted glasses likely in full effect. I was beyond happy therefore when Games Workshop announced they would be releasing a new edition of the game to coincide with the release of the new War of the Rohirrim anime. I got my box for Christmas and I'll break down my thoughts on the contents over the next few posts, beginning with the Hill Tribes of Dunland miniatures.
