Hi there. I live in Gent now for 4 months as an exchange student. I find the Outpost gameclub, where I could play LOTR with fans. In this topic I will show my battlereports to you.
Today I played with "Lex". He teached me how to play SBG. Once a few years ago I learnt the rules, but I never tried this gaming system, cause the WOTR is more popular in Hungary.
Anyway, I played two game with Lex. It was a 600 points game.
I brought mordor: Black Guards with captain, lot of morannon and mordor orc, a troll and 6 wargs.
Lex brought a lot of dwarves, rangers, Saruman, and some captain.

This is the club. Today all the game tables at the upstairs was full with card gamers, so we played on a simple desk with terrian. It was fine.
In the first game we didnt use to many terrian, just some rock, hill, a house and forest.
I totally screwed up my first game. I used my soldiers like in the WOTR, I didn' mixed them. The dwarves with rangeg support killed them very easily. After a 7-8 turn I had to gave up. I throw usually 1,2 and 3
Lex protected Saruman very well with his soldiers.
In the next game we brought down a lot of scennery elements, hills, houses, etc. It looked much better. I put up my army first like in the first battle. I had two small warg teams at the edges, a massive team with Black guards and troll, another massive formation and a small archer team. Lex seperated his army into two formations. In this game I wasnt so stupid like before, I put the Black guards to the front line, and I added support speared orc behind them.
Lex used Saruman's magic power very well, he didnt let my troll to do to much hit. The battle took a long time, but after a while Lex's right line began to die. He had to took the courage test, he lost some soldiers then too. When the right side of Lex's army is vanished, and most of Saruman's bodyguards slained too, he gave up the battle.
Yeah, my first succes in SBG.
Of course the little hobbits can be very effective in such numbers... Did you use Lome?
