This week we go through Fight Value, starting at Fight 1 and going up to Fight 10 discussing the models in each bracket, what it means to be each Fight Value and offer our opinions on whether we think its correct.

We also have Daniel Scott on who is promoting a charity event he is co-hosting with Rich in Worksop on 6th December 2025. To find out more please see:Minas Merryth.docxThe charity is for :ANDYSMANCLUB - It's Okay To TalkTickets are £25 to [email protected] and include both breakfast and lunch!

We have been there and are now back again for season 3. This week we warm up the season with some stories of whats happened in the off season (legacy, new book, new scenarios) and chat about what our plans are for season 3 (we have lots of plans!)

Apologies for Richs mike - he needs a new one for S3!

Here we bring Season 2 to an end with an episode going through the Hobbit films. Should Thorin be F7 and have free combats, should he have Barrel Riding as an ability? should the Oakenshield be better? where are the dwarf songs? and the Arkenstone?!?! We go through the significant scenes in the trilogy to try and understand what should be in Thorins profile.

This week its just Loz and Rich catching up on the mailbag and discussing upcoming tournaments - can anyone join us???

Over the recent bank holidays Rich has been teaching people some other LOTR board games and this week we have 2 guests to discuss them with.

A massive welcome to Richard Calladine and Olliver Hammond! 

The games we are discussing are the 2000s co-op board game The Lord of the Rings and the 2019 app based game Journeys of Middle Earth

This week we complete our epic trilogy of spells. Listen to the end for a quiz and news about the upcoming season 3 of the podcast!

Just like the Hobbit films...we have drawn out 1 episode about spells into an epic trilogy. This week we continue to go through all the spells in the game, adding our thoughts and tactics to help explain which are the best to use.

We have all been playing spell casters over the last couple of months to truly understand how they work, when you should call a Heroic Channel and when to use them.

We thought it was time to return to the rules and go through each spell in order to say who can cast them and explain tactics in using them.

We move way from the game this week (boo), to take a different look at the Return of the King movie (yay!). What Oscars did it win? Why was this significant? What elements of the film led to so many wins? Join us for a nostalgia episode, discussing all the filming elements that made RoTK so amazing.

Join us this week to hear all about the Breaking of the Fellowship army. Dan goes through his tactics and the best way to build the army, for example Boromir vs Gimli - who would you choose? Also hear how Rich got on at Masters...and Loz has a quiz on breakups!
