    The Defence of Lothlorien would be a good follow up. You could have a scenario where Evil has mostly hero characters rather than mooks, since the armies of the Two Towers aren't ready yet 15 years early... but they have the ring wraiths and a balrog.

      Only issue is, unless they modify statlines baseline Elves outfight most Evil Heroes. So even if the Lothlorien side is all Wood Elves, with their shooting and fight value they'd destroy Goblin Heroes, Balrog would even struggle if he gets surrounded. Then on top of that you add in things like Haldir, Celeborn or Galadriel and its a pretty easy win for Lorien.
      If they go further and allow Lorien to use its Galadhrim Warriors and Guards of the Galadhrim Court, they are even more likely to wipe a hero heavy Moria army.

      I think @hurmet is over-estimating the elves. The reason why they are good is that they have a high "Fight Value" which means they win ties, but Goblin heroes roll two or three dice, while regular elves only roll one, which means that the Goblins will straight win more often (a Goblin captain is values at 35 points base, while an Wood Elf is only 8).
      (The way fights are resolved in ME:SBG is that you each roll your dice and see who has the highest single value, a single 6 will beat any number 5s)

      ​@@RauMinsI think they are talking about Tom not charging the balrog into the hobbits when he had the chance to.
      He decided not to becuse he didn't want to kill the dog.
      But if he immediately charged into the hobbits when he had the chance it would have made it very difficult for any of the hobbits to go anywhere or get away from it and Tom had enough goblins to keep the dwarfs at bay.
      He also could have whipped anyone other then gandalf or killed angron on the bridge.
      There where a lot of options tom could have made to make the game a lot harder but he went for the showman rather then crushing the enemy

Gandalf makes his comeback during the 15 years too early raid on Rohan, as Siegemaster Gandalf the Black trying to take either Edoras or Helms Deep.

    To be called "Fatty" Mr. Bolger had to reap plentiful harvests, be a good cook, and avoid exercise (exercise is a gateway to adventuring, and no reputable hobbit would go on an adventure). Therefore "Fatty" isn't just a term of endearment for the hobbits, it's a term of high honor.

      I think blue could work because it's unclear to what extent they succeeded in their missions and when or if they were turned to darkness. So, he could return as a second chance, but still fall to the corruption. Or could triumph as good as a blue wizard.

    I played the Moria faction at a regular get-together where we'd do big battles (4 players, about 2k points per player but it's also team pool), Aragon's free Might each turn is such a massive headache. Lose initiative? No, you didn't. Win initiative but then lose in a fight? Na, free might, and you get knocked back. Still, felt great being the army that came to the table with like 100+ units of gobbos and trolls against a defensive line to just overwhelm, at least when I could move first. And the Gundabad Blackshields used to be so much better than they are now. Ugh, I'm going to go yell at clouds.

    I feel like this Fellowship is once again going to pick up some local help (meat shields) in Lothlorien - Haldir and a squad of elves making the journey to Amon Hen, where they run into an unexpected threat from some Uruk-hai. All the while, the Balrog, Gandalf, and Book Dwarf (who is Ori, not Oin) are all trying to catch up. The Balrog has a head start, but he really doesn’t like that the Fellowship took boats - the water would put out his flaming whip, so he’s been running along the riverbank the whole time.

    Amazing continuation! Better than the first scenario I thought. Loved the advancing chasing boss of the Balrog, and the dice told a very good story.
    My only thought is it was lucky the Balrog turned up early otherwise it could have been very one sided! But this all worked out for the best.

    Maybe the dwarfs tells them to head for the Lonely Mountain to recruit more fellowshipers but they get lost in Mirkwood? (Chance for spiders and elves). Maybe Sam has been taken and the others must free him before the arch-arachnid eats him and the ring?
    This IS the best channel on RUclips as well as the best alternative LOTR ever❤

    The Silver Bayonet would be perfect for Games Night. Scenario driven, campaign rules, interesting setting, good rules, I think it would be a lot of fun.

    Rather than coming back as Gandalf the White, he should come back as Gandalf the Black and Horribly Charred.

    Woooo! It's back! This one was amazing. I've used the Balrog before and know how good it is so it's so surprising he didn't just stomp.

    this is an amazing series. im really looking forward to galadriel and the other elves defending lorien against the balrog and the goblin horde. but i think the balrog has to die for the fellowship to be able to take a rest there and resupply

    the rest of the fellowship needs to fight the elves, either because of some mistranslation or because the hobbits ate all their food.
    Thanks again for this incredible battle report, such a good time ♥

    Yay! An amazing part 2 that has lived up to the expectations set by the first part. Ben and co. continue to nail these vids! Part 3 would be awesome! Surely something to do with Rohan or maybe the Balrog goes to Isengard to have an unfriendly chat with Sarumon about who's the biggest baddie in the West!
