Post subject:  the great race
I was thinking about a scenario... I was watching my rohan riders on my shelve and got this following idea:
A race between the cavalry. The map will be a long small piece of terrain. The first one over the finish wins. The road will have roadblocks, ... to make it harder for the riders.
-Evil can attack other cavalry because they are brutal (Good forces can fight back but cannot attack).
-Evil likes to cheat so in luck with a certain dice number on every turn 2 archers or other warrios on foot can jump forward from their hidden layer and try to hinder one of the players.
-There is no alliance between any of the riders - they all got one goal = to win.

There should be some extra rules maybe for the forces of good...
Maybe the winged nazgul and the eagles can play some kind of judge in the sky to see if everything goes fair... Except that the nazgul like to cheat. Eagles should prevent this...
Any idea's to make this better?

allow the riders to throw stuff at each other. :-D
if you make this, and then playtest it and it works, maybe make options for evil cavalry races too.

That sounds fun, garmenhorde, i agree with the above; also, why not have banana skins on the race track?

Looking forward how you'll work this out. :D

Years ago I started making up rules for a chariot-race, which turned out into an entire supplement-idea (basic rules with lots of complicated expansions etc). Maybe this will inspire me to pick it up again :)

Good luck mate! 8)

First there was Blood Bowl for Warhammer, now there's Horse Racing Grand Prix for Lotr. Have them shoot red & green shells at each other.

You could have Legolas be the Ref for one side and Vrasku be the ref for the other. If an evil player cheats, Legolas can shoot him, if a good player cheats, Vrasku can shoot him. maybe also have Gandalf and Saruman. This sounds like a fun idea if the rules get figured out right.

Sounds interesting, but you must put enough things in the way to force them to fight sometimes to avoid a whole game of just movement.

How about the Good guys can throw mud like a Throwing weapon. Except if it wounds, the rider is blinded to a certain point. Maybe make up a chart for that.
I'm sure the Good guys can have some tricks up their sleeves. Maybe throw a basket of snakes at an opponent to scare the horse.
Just a few ideas. Hope to see more! :)
