Six of my friends have been getting together over the past few weeks to play a campaign using our own fabricated rule set. It has been tons of fun designing and putting our campaign rules into use. Below are a set of those rules in which I would like the OR community to help us develop our campaign and throw out suggestions to help polish it into a more finalized state. The campaign map that we use is the war of the rings board game map. The map has 4 types of spaces; plains, small villages, larger cities and strongholds. We do not play our campaign using warbands so one leader may run the whole army if you so choose. Game board terrain is set up as close to map as possible. Plains battles are fought until one side is completely dead or retreats. Towns we use ruined walls and there is an objective in the town center. Larger towns are a seige battle using a fort with walls on all sides and a center objective point and strongholds we use a castle with a center objective
