Hi all,

I'm brand new to the LOTR/ The Hobbit games. A friend of mine at a recent gaming convention here in NY (okay, it was only 2 days ago) taught me how to play this amazing game. I must say, I'm ashamed I didn't try it earlier! We played 400 points, I was Uruk-Hai and my friend played Rohan (*I believe, as it wasn't all mounted troops).

A little bit about my gaming history, I've been an avid Warhammer/ 40K/ Specialist Games player since 1995. I'm just awe-struck about how solid the rules for LOTR are.

Best of all, I bought The Fellowship rulebook and The Return of the King rulebook used for $10 each today! My first models for this game are the Hunter Orcs on Fell Wargs. These new plastic kits are great, and reasonably priced.

Thanks for reading. Also thanks GW for this amazing game. I look forward to reading and posting on these forums. Has anyone made the joke yet: "One forum to rule them all"?
