{"product_id":"middle-earth-defence-of-the-north","title":"Middle Earth - Defence of the North","description":"This expansion for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game™ lets you play out campaigns across three distinct theatres of war – the Battle for Dale, Defence of Mirkwood, and Assault on Lothlorien. These can be played individually, or combined into a grand Defence of the North campaign. The hefty background section gives you plenty of insight into the history of the northern kingdoms, including events that occurred during the War of the Ring, when so much attention was focused elsewhere. You’ll find loads of scenarios to play, fresh ways to build your armies, and meet new heroes and villains. On top of all that, this supplement includes a showcase of miniatures, and an appendix featuring additional content exploring the historical battles of the northern lands.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInside this 112-page hardback supplement, you'll find:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHistory of the North:\u003c\/strong\u003e An overview of the background of Middle-earth’s northern lands, including Sauron’s attack on the area during the War of the Ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScenarios: \u003c\/strong\u003e18 narrative play Scenarios, including background, board layouts, objectives, rules, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDefence of the North Campaign: \u003c\/strong\u003eRules to link the 18 Scenarios together into one extended campaign, or three individual campaigns that can be played on their own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArmies: \u003c\/strong\u003eBackground details and rules for eight armies that fought in the Rhovanion, namely the Garrison of Dale, Erebor Reclaimed, Lothlorien, Halls of Thranduil, Beornings, Easterlings, Mordor, and Dark Denizens of Mirkwood.
