Post subject:  The Burning of the Villages
I really like the scenes in TTT when the wildmen and dunlendings raid the villages, and since I have recently made some new terrain, i could not help make a scenario to play...

The Burning of The Villages

layout:

A smallish board with a Rohan village scene in the centre. the village should consist of 3 houses, a beacon, any amount of barricades around the edges of the village, a town hall, and any other small features you have suitable for a village scene.

participants:

14 rohirrim on foot - 5 with shields, 2 with throwing spears, 7 with bows
5 riders of rohan (2 with throwing spears, none can use bows)
morwen ( House Rule - see below)
Aragorn
legolas
Gimli

The Elites:
Uruk Hai captain with heavy armour
6 uruks with (heavy armour &) pikes
20 uruks with (heavy armour &) shields

The scouts:
Uruk hai captain with armour
4 Uruk scouts (with armour &) bows
6 orcs with shields

The Men of Dunland:
1 dunlending chieftain
4 dunlendings with armour and shields
4 dunlendings with 2 handed weapons
4 dunlendings with bows
8 wildmen of Dunland

starting positions:

The town hall should be in the centre of the village and all good models are deployed within 6" of it. The Evil models are placed within 6" of the north board edge.

objectives.

good: The good side win if The evil force is reduced to 25% of its starting numbers (13 kills).

evil: The evil side win if they defeat 50% of the rohirrim (8 kills), They must also burn at least 2 houses (see below). If at any point during the game, Aragorn is slain, the evil side automatically wins.

special rules:

"Burn the houses!": If an evil model in in base contact with a building and NOT in combat at the beginning of the fight phase, the house becomes lit and roaring flames destroy the building. once lit, the Uruk may move away as normal in the following move phase and fight elsewhere or burn something else. Good models can not extinguish fires.

"Protect the Village Hall": the village hall is of great importance. Therefore, it counts as 2 buildings when being burnt.

Morwen, Defender of Rohan: A woman who has decided to stay to protect the village. She does not count towards the number of rohirrim and she has the following profile:

F S D A W C M/W/F
3/- 3 5 1 1 4 1/1/1

wargear: armour, shield, sword or axe (hand weapon).


C&C welcome!!! :)

This is almost identical to a scenario in TTT book. Nice changes (town hall, including the three hunters), and I like your unique defender.

The main issue I see is that the balance point of the scenario is too narrow. If the evil player gets his chance, the house is gone. In the similar scenario in TTT book, it may take a bit for the Uruks to get the fires going, the fires spread slowly, and the defenders have a chance of putting them out. This broadens the balance point and makes exact numbers less important.

I'm confused about your good win condition: you said evil must be "reduced to 25%", which means 1/4 remaining or about 15 models (you have 59 by my count). Then you said they need to get 13 kills. This would leave over 3/4 left. If you meant the first, how about make it to the death and use the normal rules for broken on the evil side (defenders don't roll for broken). If you meant the second, seems too easy for good, and thematically I'm not sure why evil would stop so soon.

I will take this as a compliment as I have never read any of the journey books before.
