For the upcoming gaming convention, Cold Wars, we are putting on The Battle of Five Armies. This will not be the wildly off the rails Peter Jackson version, but the Tolkien version as best we can translate a book into a wargame. Some visual inspiration from the Hobbit movies, might find their way in as well, as the movies are an awesome spectacle of Middle-Earth.
More pics and write up on the new blog we will be using for our new Fantasy rules, Blood of Heroes:
link We are just getting started and have alot of work to do, with lots more to come. Stay tuned and follow along. Xin |

I'm looking forward to following this project!
Very glad to hear this particular epic production will reflect JRRT's vision rather than the movie version. |

Xin, After I saw those statues on your website last week, I ordered a pair and also started working on a 12x6 board for the same idea. I will have to make sure I get in your game at Cold Wars. Lost Pict |
