Tactics in Middle Earth SBG, Revisited

A lot has changed since the initial release of The Fellowship of the Ring rulebook in 2001. The core mechanics of the game have been refined over time, a host of new profiles have been added, and the game's designers continue to expand our beloved Middle Earth in miniature. Since the TMAT blog started in March 2011, we've seen four major movements in the game (Legions of Middle-Earth, the "Warband" supplements, the Hobbit Strategy Battle Game, and the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game).

Since the release of the core rule set for the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game in 2018, the TMAT team has been working to update seven years of tactical discussions and bring them into the modern era. We hope you enjoy a good discussion of tactics as much as we do!
