Anybody have any last words on Rohan? We can always revisit it, but I think a lot of good work has been done and it's maybe time to move on to something else. Perhaps this weekend I'll have time to come up with a good summary of all the new profiles and rules.

Rohan's traditional enemies were Khand, Easterlings and, once Saruman turned to evil, the orcs and uruk hai, maybe they should be next? It would give us something to playtest.

Personally I can hardly wait to get to the elves, but that's just me...

welcome back Gothmog. I also was away for sometime, though I wish it was for vacation but it was not. hard working actually.

As for Bodyguard, I think bodyguards can be dispatched for a mission upon the hero's call (player's decision). so we better leave the main rule as it is and may be put an optional rule of shield wall available to royal guards, those who form the shield wall are the ones that should stay within range of the Hero they guard.

I agree to move on. I guess we'll have to revisit anyway after some playtesting.

Yeah, maybe let Rohan get a break and become a secundary thread similar to the Goblins, which we often revisit. It is also easier to be entusiastic with a new thread than an old one.

I wouldn't mind moving on to the elves actually as we now have one horde army (Goblins) and one mediecore army with some specialisation. If we choose Elves we will also get one quality focused army.

I would at least suggest saving Mordor for later on as they could be very hard and tricky.
