The game that dominates my day March 2, 2002

It is great! But only if you are a collecter as well as a boardgame fan. Upgrades are quite expensive.
 Get the box game! December 12, 2001
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This game rocks! Don't bother getting the book by itself when for a few more bucks you can get a boatload of miniatures. The game is easy as pie to learn and a lot of fun. As for the guy who can't paint the miniatures - most of you have a bit more patience than that! I painted all mine up in a week, that was half the fun. Go to your nearest Hobby store and check out all the new miniatures that are out, get the game while you are there.
Better than Chainmail November 27, 2001

This is a much cleaner game system than Chainmail. It is also a better deal. I'd pick up the box set if possible. The plastic miniatures in the box are of a higher quality than the Chainmail figures and the metal figures for Fellowship of the Ring are an order of magnitude higher in quality than the poor Chainmail figures and at a much more reasonable price at that.

What a bargain!This is NOT role-playing in Middle Earth - this is the rules for fighting skirmish wargames with the heroes and villains of the Fellowship of the Ring. If you've already got a collection of suitable models to represent the Fellowship, plus a few orcs, elves and, of course, the Nazgul - just add this book and you can recreate the skirmishes of Book 1 of the Lord of the Rings. If, on the other hand, you haven't got any models - then don't bother with this book - track down the boxed game from Games Workshop. It's about twice the price but it comes with loads of orcs and elves and men of Gondor - all in superb detail and no comparison to the stupid paper cut-outs at the back of this book!
1st class battle game system from the Masters of the genre! November 22, 2001
It must be really difficult to capture the feel of Middle Earth and the tension of the Fellowship of the Ring, when the licence limits you to what's in the film... but somehow Games Workshop have managed to do just that!Beautifully presented, this is a neat, scenario-driven miniatures-based set of rules for the father of all fantasy books - the Lord of the Rings. If there's one criticism I would make of this product, it's of the 'cardboard counters' tacked on. When GW make such wonderful, evocative models, I can't see any point in providing these pale 'wraiths'. My recommendation - only buy this if you want a second copy of the rule book to accompany the one you get in the boxed set!
