#DragonRampant version 2 is now out. I don't have the rules yet but a friend does. So, to ease us into the new version, a 'small' 3vs3 game was setup by them. This was once more set in non-canonical #MiddleEarth.
The forces of Mordor didn't have a great time of it, the new 'big unit' rules not having as much effect as expected; but the ability to teleport elephants did amuse the Dark Lord.
There are a notable changes in this edition in terms of special abilities and optional rules. Some of the options give a more mass battle feel to it.
We had a game of Dragon Rampant, fighting over the Sacred Mole. It was my Knigths of Furyondy, against the Wizards and Lizards. This time it was a tight game, and we were both down to a single unit at the end.

A friend put on their now traditional winter 'snowy' game last week. Ironically, this had been put off for a week due to real-life snow.
A non-canonical game set in #MiddleEarth and using a heavily modified version of #DragonRampant. It was just an excuse to get most of their miniatures and buildings on the table!
A big siege with just about everyone turning up at some point. Orcs and Trolls launched the initial assault, with the Witch-King leading from the front. The real Gandalf seemed to be missing, and his 'stunt double' was useless when trying to cast spells.
It was back and forth on the Walls and Keep, but it looked like Sauron had the upper hand at the end of the game, as a new wave of Easterlings reached the walls.
Played a game of Dragon Rampant, a 28mm fantasy wargame. I used some of my Wargods of Ægyptus figures, and they were up against some 1980s Elven Wardancers.
