In celebration of the return of the One Ring, I've written up a battle report for
The Last March of the Ents.

Come take a peek and tell me what I did wrong. :)

I'm still reading your report, and so far I like it. 8)
There is one problem though, that I noticed. In Turn 2, you have uruk-hai pikes supporting berserkers. Warriors that carry two-handed weapons (the berserkers in this example) cannot be supported by spears or pikes. They have to swing these large weapons in arcs and the supporting weapons would be knocked aside or get in the way. Other than that, I think you're doing quite fine.

yes, they can. The hobbit rules removed both the two-handed limit and the "same or smaller base" rule.

I stand corrected. :yay:
I looked over the rules again, and there it is. I wonder why they changed that...

My guess? They just forgot to write those rules in the new rulebook.

I tried this scenario again with a weaker Evil force and less likely reinforcements. Still lots of fun, still doesn't seem particularly balanced.

Good to see the Ents back in stock. I'm looking forward to seeing the Ash Tree Giant and then deciding between that and Mr. Willow. Until then, I've got to suffer with another GW plastic Ent.

That looks amazing! I hope you'll announce here in the forums when it's available.
