The Battle of Five Armies simulates the huge fight at the end of the Hobbit. Will the shadow or free peoples win this epic struggle? link |

Ordered mine a few days ago (my FLGS didn't have it). Yours isn't the only review to mention the fiddliness of the damage counters, still it should be fun and have replay value! |

Yeah the damage counters are not a reason not to get the game. I might try replacing them with something else (cheap poker chips??). Enjoy! |

What scale are the minis? I can't tell from boardgamegeek pictures. |

They are the same scale as the War of the Rings game, roughly 1/72nd scale for the basic unit types, with monster-sized units more abstract in scale. |

Jason C,
You've got a good website, fairly lengthy writeups and lots of profit generating ads. How about some non-stock pictures so we can actually see what you're writing about? |

@ordinarybass I have always wondered if people wanted more pictures or less. I appreciate the feedback and will def consider adding more photos of the actual games. |
