The Fellowship of the Ring: Battle in Balin's Tomb

This is a mod for the recent board game from Games Workshop: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Battle in Balin's Tomb.

I've customized the Lord of the RIngs MESBG mod 'Balin's Tomb' from Naitsirk.

The sparse instructions are quite ambiguous sometimes, so people play in all kinds of ways.


Official Rules:

- The Shadow begins each round. Each miniature moves and attacks, or vice versa.

- Movement is square-wise; Diagonal movement is allowed.

- Line of sight: Sight on Humans is blocked by pillars and the Cave Troll, who is blocked only by pillars. Additionally, sight on Hobbits and orcs is blocked by any miniature and the tomb.

- Sudden Strike: if a miniature moves away from another, immediately roll one die to strike at it for free.

- Any other detail is in the character descriptions..

- There are no rules for elevated terrain, but I've added it anyway. So as per base rules, anyone can jump up and down the elevated parts near the wall at will.

- Win Conditions:

- The Fellowship wins if after the 12th round Frodo and at least two other members are alive.

- It's a draw when Frodo is dead, but three of the Fellowship cast remain. Otherwise the Shadow wins.


House Rules:

- No diagonal movement in-between enemies/terrain.

- Elevated areas must be climbed via stairs but Humans and the Cave Troll may climb them spending three movement points. Descending costs two points.

- When attacking upwards, subtract one die, to a minimum of one.

- When shooting downwards, sight on Hobbits and Orcs is only blocked by Humans (and pillars and Cave Troll), not by other Hobbits or Orcs.

- The well blocks sight in regards to Hobbits and Orcs.

- At the very beginning of the game there probably should be a ranged attack both from Legolas and Aragorn, maybe with one die less, to accommodate the thematic feel a little bit more?


Process:

- [UPDATE] Added Character Cards and Goblin Deck

- [UPDATE] Better map

- [UPDATE] Since my copy finally arrived, I've changed the Cave Troll die side showing an eye for a mace.

- I've basically used only the materials from Naitsirk's mod, with a few additions.
