Post: Game 10 - The Bounders Strike Back


The Tooks Keep Their Reputation



Finally got back to the Shire campaign after a busy week. I will go back to do the 'big' battle at Woody End. But tonight I fancied a quick game. So, I played 'The Bounders Strike Back' which I did without any changes to the rules. I have played this scenario before and the changes between the 1st and 2nd edition seems to have balanced this one out.


The bounders are attempting to sneak into Tookland but are repulsed by a band of Tookish Hunters.

I am still using the trap counters, I made nearly twenty years ago. On an old inkjet printer and using MS Paint to draw them out. But it would just be too much effort to make a load of them for an odd game!

The ruffians attempt to move between the traps​
And finally get to grips with enemy​
Not all the ruffians find it that easy to avoid the traps.​

Now the ruffians have a clear path, they attempt to the rush the hobbits.

Despite getting through the traps, the Tooks prove they are no easier to deal once the ruffians get them into hand to hand combat. And the ruffians reached break point having only managed to get one ruffian off the board.

After the Battle


As there was no actual heroes starting the game, then there was no other experience points to allocate apart for a new hero.

Clearly the hobbit of the match, having shot down three ruffians during the game and now promoted to local hero. And he gained an extra Wound.


And on a Friday Night
