The Citadel of the Stars, Part IV: The Orcs Cross the Anduin
Good morning gamers,
We're here for Part 4 of our Osgiliath campaign and we're opening up the scenario booklet from the Battle of Osgiliath starter box. This scenario originally has no heroes and helps totally new players understand the basic mechanics. There's even a printed strategy section in the book, which boils down to "use shieldwall" for Good and "wrap-and-trap" for Evil . . . duly noted
The Orcs Cross the Anduin (Battle of Osgiliath, p. 4)
We've decided to use the following models in today's game:
- Forces of Good: Minas Tirith
- 1 Captain of Minas Tirith
- 4 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields
- 4 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields and spears
- 4 Warriors of Minas Tirith with bows
- Forces of Evil: The Legions of Mordor
- 1 Morannon Orc Captain with shield
- 3 Morannon Orcs
- 3 Morannon Orcs with shields
- 3 Morannon Orcs with shields and spears
- 3 Morannon Orcs with spears
We just added a Captain to each list - nothing fancy. The Minas Tirith list would be much better with Denethor in it (and maybe some Citadel Guards or Guards of the Fountain Court), but we're sticking to the participants as much as we can here.

The Citadel of the Stars, Part III: Osgiliath
Good morning gamers,
This scenario is sort of deja vu for us here at TMAT - Centaur and I have played this scenario twice during our Fantasy Fellowship campaign (once with me controlling my Fellowship and once with him using his fellowship). This will be the third time we've played the scenario - and like the last two times, we will not be using the exact units in the scenario. :)
Osgiliath (Quest of the Ringbearer, p. 54)
We've decided to use the following models in today's game - due to Anborn and Mablung moving to Legacies (and the already 200pt advantage for Good), I've removed them from this mission . . . but for a bit of foreshadowing, I think I could have used a few more bodies:
- Forces of Good: Garrison of Ithilien
- Faramir, Captain of Ithilien
- Madril, Captain of Ithilien
- Damrod, Ranger of Ithilien
- Frodo Baggins with Sting, Mithril Coat, and Elven cloak
- Samwise Gamgee with Elven cloak
- Smeagol
- 45 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields
- 45 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shields and spears
- 42 Warriors of Minas Tirith with bows
- 1 Warrior of Minas Tirith with banner
- 8 Rangers of Gondor
- 4 Rangers of Gondor with spears
- 2 Osgiliath Veterans with shields
- 2 Osgiliath Veterans with spears
- 2 Osgiliath Veterans with bows
- Forces of Evil: The Army of the Great Eye
- 1 Ringwraith of Fell Beast with 2 Attacks, 2M/14W/2F
- 3 Mordor Orc Captains
- 12 Mordor Orc Warriors with shields
- 12 Mordor Orc Warriors with spears
- 6 Mordor Orc Warriors with two-handed weapons
- 6 Mordor Orc Warriors with Orc bows
- 1 Mordor Orc Warrior with banner
Evil is unchanged (except that the Ringwraith has 2 Attacks base now - huzzah!) and good has lost the Legacied Ranger heroes and traded only two Warriors of Minas Tirith with bows to get melee guys. Some of the hero profiles have changed a bit, but otherwise we've got more or less what we used to have.
