IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn “Yet things might have gone far otherwise, and far worse. When you think of the great Battle of the Pelennor, do not forget the battles in Dale and the valour of Durin’s Folk. Think of what might have been. Dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador, night in Rivendell.” Lord of the Rings, Appendix A Many are the tales told of the heroes of the War of the Ring, of the time when Sauron’s evil was finally overturned, and his dark shadow banished from the lands of Middle-earth. Of Frodo, the Ring-bearer, and Sam his constant companion. Of the deeds of Aragorn, rightful heir to the throne of Gondor, and those who stood with him. Of Gandalf, servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Arnor, and the bringer of hope. And right it is that these tales are told, for such things should never be forgot. Yet theirs is not the whole tale. For even as they struggled and fought, so too did all who would be free, all who would rather die than submit to evil and darkness. And had they not have done so, who is to say but that all of Aragorn’s trials, all of Frodo’s travails, would not have been in vain, and all undone in the end? Wherever the Company of Nine journeyed, darkness followed after, and oft was it left to those who remained behind to face it. In Lorien, three times did Galadriel and her people of the Golden Wood repulse the forces of Dol Guldor, that dreadful fortress in Mirkwood, ancient home and bastion of Sauron, which was the source of the forest’s poison. In Rohan, too, even when Saruman’s forces had been routed at Helm’s Deep, so there still came others after them, both man and orc, to threaten the homes and homesteads of the Riders. And surely the goblins of Moria, stirred like ants in a nest by the passing of the Company, did not then easily return to the deep, but, awoken to the darkness spreading across the land, went forth as they had so many times before, to fall upon the defences of Rivendell, and scour also the Vale of Anduin, east of the Misty Mountains. Yet that was not all. For east of Mirkwood, where the Hobbit Bilbo had once journeyed in quest to the Lonely Mountain, the men of Dale and the Dwarves of Erebor, their ancient quarrels forgot, stood side by side against the forces of Sauron, against orcs and goblins and men of the east and things worse still. For great was the might of Sauron, and many his armies to command, and those that issued forth from Mordor to fall on Gondor were but a part of their number. This, then, is the Untold War of the Ring. And no lesser were the victories won therein, and no greater the sacrifices made, than those by Aragorn or by Boromir, by Frodo or by Theoden. So remember them, and remember them well, that the darkness they faced and overcame in their time does not come to be replaced by the dim dark of forgetting today.


WWeellccoommee Welcome to the Untold War of the Ring, a variant module for the Middle-earth Play-By-Mail game. We have created this module in order to allow you to enjoy Middle-earth PBM without the need to read a lengthy rulebook. We hope that you enjoy your gaming experience, and if at any time you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.

WWhhaatt iiss PPllaayy--BByy--MMaaiill?? Imagine an internet game where you had hundreds of opponents, where you had time to pause for thought and really plan your next series of moves, and where you didn't have to pay for each minute of phone time. Imagine receiving all the emails you could ever want from your allies and enemies, discussing tactics, suggesting strategies, negotiating deals and threatening retribution. Imagine that this game has a flavour and history equalled only by your favourite role-playing game. That's PBM. It works like this: We send you a start-up containing background information for your nation, and a list of other people playing in the same game. Every two weeks we send you a turn. This gives you detailed report of what is happening in the game, often with maps and personalised descriptions. These will generally span from 6-30 pages! You read your reports, email, phone and write to your allies and enemies, ponder your choices and eventually write down a list of things that you want to do. Then you email or post this to us. Every fortnight we take all of these orders and instructions and feed them into our computers. With our help they process the game, discovering who has done what, and then we send out a new turn by post or email, starting the process all over again.

The Untold War of the Ring Basic Concepts

BBaassiicc CCoonncceeppttss TThhee NNaattiioonnss As a player, you will control one of the ten nations involved in the Untold War of the Ring, either on the side of the Dark Servants, or the Free Peoples. You will become the 'power behind the throne', the author of your nation's actions. You will decide what individual actions your characters will take and what course of action your nation will follow. Normally, player positions will be assigned at random when the game is filled. If you have a preference, however, please let us know when you register and we will do our best to give you the nation of your choice. In which case, please let us have a list of at least three nations you wish to play, to ensure that you can be placed quickly into a game. The nations of the Untold War of the Ring are as follows:

FFrreeee PPeeoopplleess Northmen (Nation 2) Rohan (Nation 3) Sylvan (Nation 5) Dwarves (Nation 8) Noldo (Nation 10)

DDaarrkk SSeerrvvaannttss Witch King (Nation 11) Dragon Lord (Nation 12) Dog Lord (Nation 13) Fire King (Nation 18) White Wizard (Nation 24)

Detailed starting information for each of the nations can be found later on in this module.

GGaammee VVaarriiaattiioonnss There are a number of variations of the Untold War of the Ring module, each designed to place different demands upon, and present different challenges to, both teams and individuals. These variations affect number of players, game length, and the orders available:

NNuummbbeerr ooff PPllaayyeerrss 55 vvss.. 55 VVaarriiaattiioonn In this variation, each of the ten players controls a single nation. 44 vvss.. 44 VVaarriiaattiioonn In this variation, each of the eight players controls a single nation, whilst one nation on each team is considered a Group Nation. This nation will be run by consensus, with all players agreeing on the orders given for it, and accepting joint ownership of the nation. This scenario has been developed to investigate decision-making in gaming, in an environment where a group of four people have decisions to make both about their own resources, and also about shared resources: decisions that will impact on their team’s success.The Noldo is the Group Nation of the Free People team, and the Dragon Lord the Group Nation of the Dark Servants.The responsibility for submitting the orders for the Group Nation will rotate through the team, starting with the player who is controlling the individual nation with the lowest ID (the Northmen and the Witch King), and then going to the next highest nation ID.

GGaammee LLeennggtthh The game will last for either 10, 13 or 15 turns.

OOrrddeerrss AAvvaaiillaabbllee A Veteran variation for experienced players allows more orders to be used. This variation is not covered in this module: for details please see the Expert Module of the Untold War of the Ring. You can download this from our website: www.middleearthgames.com/materials.html#uw

http://www.middleearthgames.com/materials.html#uw


WWiinnnniinngg tthhee GGaammee The game lasts for ten, thirteen or fifteen turns (depending on the variation being played), during which time you seek to gain Untold War points for completing various achievements. At the end of the game, the team with the most Untold War points is victorious. This system of awarding points allows you not only to compete with the other team in your own game, but to compare your success with teams in other games. There are no individual nation victories – this is a team game! Each nation has their own achievements to complete, in addition to achievements that can be completed by any nation in a team. Full details of these achievements can be found in the War Points Achievements section later on in this module.

SSttaayyiinngg AAlliivvee There are two ways in which your nation can be eliminated from the game, though there are many ways in which these can come about. The first is to lose all of your major towns and cities – your nation must have a capital, and only major towns and cities can be capitals. The second is to have your tax rate forced above 100%. – upon which your subjects, with some justification, rebel. The game mechanics involved will all be described later on, but it is worth bearing these conditions in mind as you read on, so that you might begin to work out how to defeat your enemies.

GGaammee TTiimmee Time in the game flows at the same speed as it does in the ‘real world’. Games beginning during winter, for example, will commence with winter as their initial season, and the seasons then proceed to change even as the seasons we all endure change.

MMaappss On the last page or pages of your turn-sheet, or in Palantir if you are using our software, you will see a map of the theatre of war that is the Untold War of the Ring. This map is divided into hexes, with each hex being of one of the following types of terrain: 'open seas', 'coastal waters', 'shore/plains', 'open plains', 'hills & rough', 'mixed forest', 'desert wastes', 'fens & swamp', and 'mountains'. The map also shows the 'major rivers', 'minor rivers', 'bridges', 'fords', and 'roads' in the area. Rivers, both major and minor, run along the sides of the hexes ('hexside'). Whenever your armies move across a hexside with a river running along it, they will be considered to be trying to cross that river. Armies can cross minor rivers with only a slight penalty in movement, but cannot cross major rivers at places where there is not either a bridge or a ford. Note that bridges and fords cross only one hexside and, therefore, you must travel from the hex on one side of the bridge/ford directly across the hexside to the hex on the other side of the bridge/ford in order to successfully utilise said bridge or ford. Roads work in the same manner, moving through specific hexsides. If an army does not move exactly as the road does, then it will not be able to avail itself of the enhanced movement rate the road provides. All hexside features always affect movement in both directions. The exact area of the game map is from hexes 1902 to 3202, and from 1921 to 3221. You may not move beyond the limits of this area map. If you attempt to do so, your character or army will not move.


RReellaattiioonnss As well as nation allegiances, every nation has an individual relationship with each of the other nations in the game. This relationship reflects the disposition of the nation’s populace, troops, and characters, towards the other nation. Relations range (from most to least friendly) as follows: FFrriieennddllyy –– TToolleerraanntt –– NNeeuuttrraall –– DDiisslliikkeedd –– HHaatteedd These relations affect many aspects of the game, which will be described in detail at a later date. In the meantime, all it is necessary to know is that the less friendly your relation to another nation, the less effective their offensive actions against your nation are likely to be, and vice versa. Also, it is important to remember that your nation’s relationship to another nation will not necessarily be the same as their relationship to you. Which is to say that just because you are tolerant to another nation does not mean that they do not hate you. An enemy nation is a nation to whom your relations are either disliked or hated, and a nation which considers your nation an enemy is a nation whose relations to you are either disliked or hated.

The Untold War of the Ring Characters

CChhaarraacctteerrss Richly detailed heroes and personalities are what lend Tolkien's works much of its wonder, and it is through these heroes, or characters, that MEPBM is played. Each player begins with eight characters, nearly all of which are taken from the pages of Middle-earth’s rich history, and were involved in affairs of the land at the time of the Untold War of the Ring. Each turn, your characters will be pictured on your turn sheet, together with their name, character ID, statistics and the results of any acts they have performed that turn. The character’s ID consists simply of the first 5 characters of their name (ignoring case and accents, but including blank spaces), and is used to refer to that character – and for others to refer to them – in orders (detailed later).

SSkkiillllss Whether male or female, goblin or elf, all characters share one thing in common. They each have skill ranks which indicate their abilities – or lack thereof – in the four professions of Commander, Agent, Emissary and Mage. Some characters are only skilled in one profession, others capable in two or more areas. Skill ranks normally range between 10 and 100, although the possession of magical items (see the section on Artifacts later in the rules) may increase a character’s skill rank beyond the 100 limit. These skills can be improved by successfully performing certain actions throughout the game. CCoommmmaanndd RRaannkk This determines a character's ability to lead armies, to erect fortifications at a population centre, and make overall leadership decisions. AAggeenntt RRaannkk This determines a character's ability to perform espionage and counter-espionage covert tasks. EEmmiissssaarryy RRaannkk This determines a character’s ability to stir the people of the land, and rouse them to your cause. MMaaggee RRaannkk This determines the quality of conjuring and reveal spells cast by the character. CChhaarraacctteerr TTiittlleess bbyy RRaannkk Rank Commander Agent Emissary Mage 10-19 Veteran Journeyman Envoy Apprentice 20-29 Hero Footpad Kingsman Acolyte 30-39 Commander Agent Emissary Mage 40-49 Captain Cutpurse Ambassador Mystic 50-59 Lord Burglar Warden Enchanter 60-69 Regent Rogue Banneret Warlock 70-79 Warlord Spy Curate Conjurer 80-89 General Thief Proclamator Sorcerer 90-99 Marshal Assassin Legate Wizard 100 Lord Marshal Guild Master Herald Arch Mage


OOrrddeerrss Orders are commands which you issue to your Characters. They are the means by which you accomplish all of your actions in the game. Details of these orders can be found later in these rules, including a description of each, together with the prerequisites needed to successfully issue that order. Additional orders will become available for you to order as the game progresses, specifically on turns 3, 5, 7 and 9. Full details of these, together any new concepts introduced to the game as a result, will be sent to you with the appropriate turn. Each order is of a certain type. Some types of orders can only be done by a character once per turn: CCoommmmaanndd oorrddeerrss,, AAggeenntt oorrddeerrss EEmmiissssaarryy oorrddeerrss MMoovveemmeenntt oorrddeerrss,, HHeeaalliinngg ssppeellllss CCoommbbaatt ssppeellllss CCoonnjjuurriinngg ssppeellllss MMoovveemmeenntt ssppeellllss** LLoorree ssppeellllss That is to say that a character may not, for example, issue two command orders in a turn. Neither could they enact two agent orders, nor cast two healing spells or attempt two movement orders. However, it is possible for them to perform, for example, a command order and an agent order, or a movement order and a healing spell. *Movement spells are not available at game start as you will not have access to the ‘cast movement spell’ order, but you will be allowed to cast them later in the game as the order becomes available. All other orders in the game may be issued twice per turn without restriction, these are: MMiisscceellllaanneeoouuss OOrrddeerrss Most orders have prerequisites. Prerequisites are those factors needed to successfully issue the order. Prerequisites might include the character being of a certain profession, resource materials, and/or costs, as well as location requirements. For example: 1000 units of timber are needed at the pop centre to build a tower, 1000 gold is also needed in your treasury to pay for the construction. You must be at one of your own population centres to build it. Each order also indicates whether any additional information is required to accomplish the order. Be sure to include all additional information required, and in the correct order, or the order may fail. Note that some miscellaneous orders may require the character to have a certain skill, but they are not classified as ‘Skill Orders’ and therefore may be done twice in the same turn. The success of a Character's actions is primarily determined by the skill rank involved in the execution of the order. In general, the rank is added to a hidden number (between 1 and 100) which represents the difficulty of the task, other relevant modifiers are added or subtracted, and if the resulting sum exceeds 100 then the order is successful. In some cases, the extent to which a Character succeeds or fails is also determined by this sum, in others there is a second roll.

The Untold War of the Ring Characters Such orders will have an associated 'difficulty' rating to help you judge whether a character is ready to attempt that order. These orders are rated as ‘easy’, ‘average’, and ‘hard’. Actual difficulties within each of these ratings will vary, but guidelines are given below: EEaassyy Skill ranks between 20 - 40 have a fair/reasonable chance of success. AAvveerraaggee Skill ranks between 40 - 60 have a fair/reasonable chance of success. HHaarrdd Skill ranks between 60 - 100 have a fair/reasonable chance of success. Some orders, on the other hand, automatically succeed. This means that if the prerequisites are all fulfilled, then the order will succeed, although that is not to say the order will necessarily achieve the intended result. For example, the instruction to your commander ordering his your army to attack an opponent’s force might succeed, but the battle may nevertheless be lost. Orders have both an 'order number' and an 'order code'. The order number indicates where in the game's 'Sequence of Events' the order is executed. The lower the number, the sooner it is executed. The order code serves as a handy mnemonic (way of remembering) for the order itself. You should use the order number when you are filling out your turn-sheet. You may include the code as well, if you like, though if there is any disparity between code and number and we cannot determine from the context of the order which you intended, we will use the number.

SSppeecciiaall AAbbiilliittiieess Characters may be lucky enough to possess a special ability. These abilities may affect skill ranks, stealth ranks, health ranks, improve their challenge rank, etc. If a character possesses such a special ability, this will be indicated along with the rest of their information on the turn sheet.

HHeeaalltthh Characters also have a rating which indicates their current health. Like the skill ranks, this ranges from 0 (in this case representing death) to 100 (fully healed). A character’s health rank will be increased by 14 points each turn the Character is 'injured' (which is to say their health rank is less than the maximum of 100) until it reaches 100 again, and can also be affected by healing spells.

DDeeaatthh A Character whose health is reduced to 0 is assumed to have died (or, if immortal, to have left the realm of Middle-earth.) He may no longer be given orders, and will quickly disappear from your turn reports. Any possessions that he had at the time of his death will either become lost where he died, taken by his slayer, or picked up by a nearby character.

CChhaarraacctteerr MMoovveemmeenntt The order is given by an individual character, and all that is necessary is to select your destination hex. This destination hex must be within 12 hexes of the initial hex location, but movement is regardless of intervening terrain type. Characters will not meet other characters or armies while travelling, but may still meet them at their destination.


SStteeaalltthh Another rank which characters possess indicates their natural stealth. Like the skill ranks, this ranges from 0 (no stealth – the level of most characters) to 40. The degree of stealth that a character possesses is determined when he is created, and unlike skill ranks, a character’s stealth rating cannot be improved through training (though that said, there are Artifacts which can improve a character’s stealth). A character will automatically get the benefit of the stealth during attempts to fulfil his own orders. He will also be harder to spot by scouting orders, or a population centre’s scouting. Lastly, stealth helps in avoiding capture or death in a variety of dangerous situations in the game.

HHoossttaaggee If your character is very unfortunate, he may find himself held captive, perhaps following a defeat in battle, for example. Characters which are held captive can not be given orders, and will automatically attempt to escape each turn.

The Untold War of the Ring Population Centres

PPooppuullaattiioonn CCeennttrreess Population Centres are the keys to victory. They allow nations to harness natural resources, generate revenue, and to build armies. The bigger the population centre, the more gold it can generate through taxation, but the less products it will accumulate.

SSiizzee aanndd LLooccaattiioonn A hex may have a single population centre present. The size of population centres range from 'ruins' to 'camp' to 'village' to 'town' to 'major town' to 'city' (ruins being unowned and uninhabited population centres). Population centres may degrade in size when captured in an attack, when their loyalty drops below a certain rating, or when the nation controlling them becomes eliminated. Camps that are decreased in size in this manner will have their populace evacuate, and the camp will disappear. The size of a population centre determines a number of other factors. The following chart shows the amount of tax revenue (gold) generated by a population centre a turn, the number of troops available for army recruitment at the population centre per turn, the size of army the population centre can feed each turn, the average force needed to assault (capture or destroy) the population centre, and average size of the force needed to threaten a population centre. (Many of these terms will be explained in detail later on). Please note that the below figures of troops needed to threaten or assault the population centre, together with those given in the Fortification Costs table (right) are very rough estimates, based on heavy infantry troops with little training, poor weapons and armour, and with the population centre possessing an average loyalty. If you wish for more exact figures and combat calculations, please ask for a copy of the full Middle-earth rules, where such equations are to be found.

FFoorrttiiffiiccaattiioonnss Fortifications can be built to help defend a population centre. These range from the modest 'tower' to 'fort' to 'castle' to 'keep' to the impressive 'citadel'. Each level of fortification increases the population centre’s defences, which must be overcome in the event of being assaulted or threatened by an enemy army, whilst their presence helps restrict an enemy army’s movement through the area. Armies that are defending their own population centres will also receive a bonus to their combat defence based upon the level of fortifications. Only one level of fortifications can be erected per turn. For example, a tower cannot be improved to a keep in one turn even if three characters were available to give the necessary orders. It is possible for an agent to reduce an enemy population centre’s fortifications by more than one level in a single attempt a given turn. To build fortifications requires both gold and timber: FFoorrttiiffiiccaattiioonn CCoossttss

Major Town 7500 400 2500 900 2500 City 10000 500 5000 2100 5000

*Infantry troops – cavalry troops require twice as much food as infantry, and so a population centre can only feed half as many cavalry troops.

LLooyyaallttyy Population centres each have a loyalty rank. This is a number from 1 (lowest loyalty) to 100 (fanatical loyalty). Loyalty is important when trying to resist a threatening or attacking army, whilst population centres with too low a loyalty risk the population leaving. If a population centre’s loyalty rank drops below 15, then it will begin to deteriorate from one size level down to the next. Camps that are decreased in this manner will have their populace evacuate and the camp will disappear. Having characters, armies, or fortifications at the population centre can stop the deterioration. Loyalty can be affected by adverse military take-overs, as well taxation. Loyalty in population centres increase or decrease up to 3 points each turn depending on the tax rate (increasing if the tax rate is low, decreasing if the tax rate is high). Furthermore, loyalty will decrease in all population centres if the nation’s capital is lost (see below for information on capitals), and might decrease in all population centres at the loss of any of your other population centres. Additionally, the efforts or presence of travelling non-player characters (NPCs) can also affect the loyalty.

CCaappiittaall Each Nation has one population centre designated as its capital. The capital serves as the 'seat of power' for the nation, and its safety is vital to the nation's survival. Certain orders can only be given by characters that are located at the capital, and all new characters will come into play at the capital. The location of the capital is assigned at game start, and capitals will not deteriorate due to low loyalty. Since the treasury of the Nation is kept at the capital, the gold reserves of a nation are the most vulnerable to agents stealing there. If a capital population centre is captured or destroyed, then the capital (along with its gold reserves) will be relocated to another major town or city, if possible. If this is not possible, then the nation falls and is removed from play. The fall of a nation's capital, whether or not it is then established at a different population centre, will also cause all of that nation's population centres to lose about a fifth of their Loyalty.

PPrroodduuccttiioonn For each population centre you possess, your turn-sheet will detail both the amount of products that population centre has accumulated, and amount it is due to produce during the coming turn. LLeeaatthheerr Used in the construction of leather armour, and saddles for cavalry armies BBrroonnzzee Used in the construction of bronze armour and weapons

The Untold War of the Ring Population Centres SStteeeell Used in the construction of steel armour and weapons MMiitthhrriill Used in the construction of mithril armour and weapons FFoooodd Consumed by armies in the field TTiimmbbeerr Used in the construction of fortifications and war machines MMoouunnttss Used to form cavalry units for the armies GGoolldd Used to finance your nation’s activities Products can be used as above or sold for gold. Any food created is considered to be the excess over and above what the population needs to survive.

HHiiddddeenn?? In this game, several population centres are hidden. If a population centre is hidden, only the owning nation may enter it, or transfer goods to and from it. These restrictions do not apply to movement through the hex containing the population centre, only to interaction with it. Fortifications associated with the population centre will also be hidden, but bridges, fords, and roads present in hexes with hidden population centres will not be. Mages can learn a ‘Reveal Population Centre’ spell to remove hiding enchantments.

SSiieeggeedd?? A population centre is considered to be sieged if it was attacked by an army that turn, whether or not the attack was successful. Which is to say if your settlement successfully withstood an attack it will be considered under siege, whilst if you successfully took an opponent’s settlement, it will be under siege for the rest of that turn. Population centres under siege cannot be used for certain orders (see section on orders), and generate no tax or products.

TTrraaddee CCaarraavvaannss Since some areas of the world do not produce enough raw materials to satisfy the needs of a growing nation, trade caravans visit all unsieged population centres each turn. They offer to buy or sell any of the following products: leather, bronze, steel, mithril, food, timber and mounts, and will do so at rates detailed on the turn sheet the market purchase price is the price per unit which the trade caravan charges for those units of raw materials you might wish to purchase, and the market sell price is the price per unit which the trade caravan will give you for surplus units of raw materials you wish to sell. Caravans do not have limitless buying power and may at times be unable to purchase all the goods offered to them. The law of supply and demand regulates both buy and sell prices. Further, there are not unlimited stores available. It is possible to 'corner' the market on a given item or to 'flood' the market so as to lower the market price. Trade caravans can never be attacked, apprehended, or otherwise affected. Only one product may be specified per buy or sell order.

SSiigghhttiinnggss Any Character entering a non-hidden population centre of another nation runs the risk of being sighted and their presence brought to the attention of local rulers. The chance of a character being sighted is based on the population centre’s loyalty and size, and the total ranks of the character (with the higher the character’s rank, the greater the chance of their being recognised).

The Untold War of the Ring Revenue, Costs and Taxes

RReevveennuuee,, CCoossttss aanndd TTaaxxeess CCoossttss It requires gold to maintain your fortifications, characters, and armies. Each turn, the amount of the maintenance needed to keep your nation from going bankrupt will be shown on your result-sheet. Be very careful regarding this maintenance requirement. If your economy cannot support its overheads the extra revenue will be generated by an enforced tax rise, but this will result in a loss of loyalty across the entire nation, which could prove disastrous. And, if the tax rate is forced above 100% as a result, the populace revolts and the nation is eliminated, even if funds would have become available later in the turn. Gold reserves can be checked using the following formula: OOlldd RReesseerrvveess

(what you had left at the end of last turn)

++ EExxppeecctteedd RReevveennuuee (combat may affect this, as it takes place before revenue is calculated, and you do not gain revenue from population

centres you no longer own! The change of seasons also affects this.) -- MMaaiinntteennaannccee

(you must pay/maintain all the troops so they'll Fight this turn, even if they die in combat) -- EExxppeennddiittuurreess

(gold spent executing orders this turn)

++ CCrreeddiittss (gold received for the sale of goods)

== NNeeww RReesseerrvvee

(gold reserve listed on the result sheet) Maintenance costs are worked out using the following figures: MMaaiinntteennaannccee CCoossttss Item Cost in gold Cost in food Heavy Cavalry troop 6 2 Heavy Infantry troop 4 1 Fortification (per level) 500 0 Character (per skill point) 20 0

Note that troops that are hired/recruited this turn do not add to the maintenance bill for this turn, but troops that die in battle during the turn do not reduce that turn’s maintenance costs. Which is to say that changes in troop numbers this turn will only effect next turn’s maintenance costs, not this one’s.

TTaaxxeess This percentage rate will determine how much gold your population centres raise each turn. All taxes are automatically sent to your nation's capital, and all payments of gold are taken from your capital’s coffers – in other words population centres do not have their own gold reserves, rather the nation’s gold is all held at the capital. Even population centres which produce gold as a product as well as through taxes send this money to your capital automatically each turn. As you may well imagine, high tax rates do not make for happy subjects and if the loyalty drops to much, they will leave you and the population centres will degrade.

The Untold War of the Ring Armies

AArrmmiieess

An army must be composed of a minimum of 100 troops and an army commander (a character with the commander skill). If an army ever contains less than 100 troops at any point in a turn, then it will be disbanded. Furthermore, if the army commander is captured or killed and there are no other characters travelling with the army that can assume command (which is to say, have a command skill), then again the army will disband.

TTrroooopp TTyyppeess Your armies may begin the game with several different troop types, and an army can consist solely of one type, or of multiple types, and as long as there are at least 100 troops overall, it does not matter how many troops of each type the army contains. Nations may have different races and creatures making up these troop types. The Free People, for example, may have Men riding on war horses for their cavalry troops, whereas a Dark Servant's forces may consist of Orcs on wargs. But in both cases, the troops are considered to be cavalry. In addition to your starting troops, you may recruit two types of troop during the game: HHeeaavvyy IInnffaannttrryy Bulk standard troops, weaker than cavalry, but tough enough for most jobs

HHeeaavvyy CCaavvaallrryy Tough shock troops with excellent mobility, around twice as effective as heavy infantry, but expensive to maintain.

RReeccrruuiittmmeenntt Armies are created at population centres, and further recruits can be raised there as well. An army that recruits at a population centre will need to decide upon what type of armour and weapons will be given to these new troops. If the population centre present has enough raw materials of the appropriate type (leather, bronze, steel, mithril) in stores, then the armour and/or weapons will be fashioned from the population centre’s stores. If there are not enough stores available to create the armour and/or weapons, then the troops will be recruited without armour and with wooden weapons. The number of recruits available at any given population centre (detailed in the section on population centres) is the total number available from the population centre that turn. In other words, a camp can only provide 100 troops a turn, not 100 troops per character recruiting. More than one army can recruit from a single population centre, but the limit cannot be exceeded. For example, two armies could recruit from the same town on the same turn but could not recruit more than 300 troops between them. If an army attempts to recruit more troops than are available, then the maximum available will be recruited.

MMoorraallee RRaannkk Armies have a morale rank. This is a value from 1 (lowest morale) to 100 (maximum morale). The higher the army's morale, the better they will fight. The morale of an army is defined as the collective cohesiveness of the troops constituting that army under its current commander. In other words, the morale reflects the collective pride and courage of the troops, and their faith in its commander in the heat of battle (or lack thereof). Recruiting more troops into an army will not lower its morale, but transferring command of the army to another commander may well do so. A newly hired army (as opposed to an existing one which recruits new troops into its ranks) typically begins with a low morale.


TTrraaiinniinngg RRaannkk Each troop type of an army has an individual training rank. This is a value from 10 (the worst training level) to 100 (representing elite troops). The training rank is reflective of the ability of the troops to maintain formations and tactics in the heat of battle. The higher the training rank, the better that troop type will fight in battle. Training ranks can be increased by specific training orders, or as a result of combat experience.

WWeeaappoonn RRaannkk Each troop type of an army also has an individual weapon rank. This represents the average quality of all the weapons currently in use by that specific troop type (since troops recruited into an existing army may have different weapons to the older troops). Weapon ranks range from a value of 10 (wooden weapons) to 100 (an army equipped entirely with mithril weapons). The higher the weapon rank, the more damage is inflicted upon enemies in combat.

AArrmmoouurr RRaannkk Finally, each troop type of an army has an individual armour rank. This is an average of all the armour currently in use by that specific troop type. Armour ranks range from a value of 0 (no armour) to 100 (an army sheathed entirely in mithril armour). The higher the Armour rank, the less damage is suffered by your troops in combat. The four types of armour, in order of worst to best, are: leather, bronze, steel, mithril.

BBaaggggaaggee TTrraaiinn Armies also have a baggage train which travels with them. This baggage train may include war machines and food supplies needed for any troops and mounts in the army.

FFoooodd Food is consumed by an army each turn at the rate of one food unit per troop of Heavy Infantry, and at a rate of two food units per troop of Heavy Cavalry (one for the troop and one for the mount). If the army does not have sufficient food to feed its troops (which is to say the food in the baggage train reaches 0), the troops will begin to forage for food and both movement and morale (up to 10 morale points a turn) may be reduced. If an army is at a friendly population centre (which is to say, belonging to the side) then the population centre will automatically provide as much food as it can spare (the amount each population centre type can provide is detailed in the section on population centres). This food is consumed before food from the baggage train. If an army's size exceeds the limit a population centre can provide, the remainder of the needed food will be taken from the army's baggage train. (For example: an army with 6000 troops is at a city. The city will automatically provide food for 5000 of the army's troops. The remaining 1000 troops will consume 1000 food from the army's baggage train.) If a population centre has more than one army outside it, it will split the food it has available to provide proportionally between the armies present.

WWaarr MMaacchhiinneess War machines include many different type of devices: catapults, ballistae, movable towers, battering rams, etc. War machines can be useful in normal combat against other armies in the field, but are most useful in assaulting and threatening population centres, where they come into their own. War Machines are the only means with which an army can destroy a population centre’s fortifications, and thus make it much easier to gain control of them. Although an army can take a population centre without war machines, the troop losses will be greater, and the chances of success decreased. However, war machines can also be destroyed during the course of any type of combat. A war machine is very roughly equivalent to 50 Heavy Infantry


AArrmmyy MMoovveemmeenntt To move an army, the army commander issues an order giving the string of directions through which he wishes the army to travel, with one direction for each hex he wishes to enter. For example, to move three hexes north-west, he would issue “nw, nw, nw”. The directions he can travel in are north-east, east, south-east, south-west, west, and north-west. In addition, it is possible to issue a “home” movement order, which instructs the army to wait where it is. Each hex has a particular terrain and, based on the makeup of the troops in the Army, costs a different amount of movement points to travel through. Each army can have a maximum of 14 movement points, each representing a day spent in travel or – in the case of a “Home” movement, a day of rest. A few things to note with regard to army movement: Armies (in this game) can never move from one mountain hex directly into another mountain hex Armies are also prohibited from crossing major river hexsides unless a bridge is present. If more than one army appears at a population centre, still only one icon will appear on the turn map. If an army enters a hex where there is an army or fortified population centre belonging to an opposing nation, then it will be forced to stop in that hex. If the army is large enough, they may be able to force their way past armies or non-fortified population centres, but never past a fortified population Centre. Armies travel at the rate of their slowest troop type. The following charts show what each type of troop spends in movement points for each different terrain. Movement cost is computed by determining the appropriate terrain cost (for the hex being moved into), then modifying it by any hexside costs. Fractional costs (for example, if travelling without food) are rounded for each hex travelled, are always rounded up, and are applied to both the hex terrain cost and hexside costs (crossing a river, ford or bridge) separately. Further, the cost of travelling through the hex. Thus it is possible for an army to find itself unable to move in a direction even for one hex, if the movement cost for that hex is higher than 14 movement points. Armies may also choose to 'Stand and Defend'. This means that the army will attempt to prevent the passage of enemy armies from their initial hex location through the defended hexsides, although a large enough army might still push past or over-run the blocking army. The defended hexsides include the hexside in the direction chosen along with the two adjacent hexsides (see order details for clarification on this).

The Untold War of the Ring Combat

MMaaggiicc aanndd SSppeellllss CCaassttiinngg RRaannkk Each spell has a casting rank. This is a value from 1 (denoting worst proficiency) to 100 (maximum proficiency). To actually cast a given spell, a random number from 1 - 100 is generated and added to the casting proficiency rank. If the sum of these numbers is greater than 100, then the casting is successful. The proficiency rank in casting a particular spell will be improved by successfully casting that spell by 1-5 points. A character must know a spell to be able to cast it.

SSppeellll TTyyppeess A detailed list of spells available in Untold War of the Ring can be found below. These fall into one of several categories, being Healing, Combat, Movement (which you will gain access to later in the game), Conjuring and Lore, each of which requires a different order to cast it. Mages are able to cast 2 spells per turn, as long as the spells are of different categories (which is to say, require different spell orders). However, casting a second spell may damage the casting character by draining points from his health rank. The amount of health lost will depend on the combined difficulties of the spells being cast. To cast a spell, simply issue the appropriate spell order, follow it with the spell number of the desired spell, and include any indicated additional information. Note that the order number for casting a given spell category (not the number of the individual spell) indicates its position in the games sequence of events (explained later).

CCoommbbaatt Combat in Middle-earth can take three forms – challenges between individual characters, battles between armies, and attacks by armies on population centres.

PPeerrssoonnaall CChhaalllleennggeess Characters may issue a formal challenge to other characters in the same hex, this is called a Personal Challenge. It is not possible to challenge a character who has issued the Refuse Personal Challenge order. Nor is it possible to challenge an army commander unless the challenger is in an army, or the challenger is an army commander himself. Also, a character can only fight one Personal Challenge each turn. If there are multiple challenges in the same hex, the highest ranking character will challenge first. A character cannot issue a challenge and also issue the Refuse Personal Challenge order. If challenge is offered and not refused, then a savage battle to the death will commence between the two characters. This fight will be based on their challenge ranks, with their health representing how many blows they can endure. Success in the challenge will increase the abilities of the winning character. If the character is an army commander, then success will also increase his army's morale rank, while the morale rank of the loser's army will diminish. If an army loses its commander because of challenge, and there is no other character with command rank in the army, then the army will rout and be disbanded. If challenge is rejected by an army commander, then the morale rank of the challenger’s army will still increase, and the challenged army’s morale decrease.

CCoommbbaatt -- AArrmmyy Army combat results depend on the quality and quantity of troops, the command rank of the army commander, the army morale, the training of the troops, the armour and weapons of the troops, terrain and climate of the hex, number of war machines involved, spells cast by mages, and Artifacts held by characters. If you wish to see the equations governing combat please ask for a copy of the full Middle-earth rules, or go to our website to download programs designed to predict combat results. However, please note that it is not necessary to know the exact mechanics governing combat in order to play, or indeed to win. Combat between armies continues until one army is entirely destroyed. Characters on the losing side of a battle may escape, or be captured, wounded or even killed. Characters with the winning army may be wounded or killed, but the victorious army commander will always survive.


CCoommbbaatt –– PPooppuullaattiioonn CCeennttrree Threatening a population centre is a way to gain possession of a population centre without loss of troops. However, the order will fail if there are enemy armies present in the hex. The order to threaten a population centre only needs to be given by any single army commander, and any other armies of the same nation present will also help, increasing the chances of success. Other factors which play a part in the success of threatening a population centre include: the command rank of the threatening army’s commander, the size of that army, the morale of the threatening army and the loyalty of the populace of the population centre, the size of the population centre, and the presence of any fortifications and/or war machines. Assaulting a population centre, on the other hand, is an easier way to take a population centre, but runs the risk of losing troops. An army can assault a population centre with the intent to either destroy or to capture it for his nation. It is easier to assault a population centre with the intent to destroy it than to capture it. A successful destroy order will make the centre into an unowned ruins, whilst a capture will degrade it in size by one level. If more than one nation is involved in a successful assault on a population centre, then the largest remaining army involved in the fight will take control of the population centre for his nation. As with army versus army combat, the command rank of the army commander, the army morale, the training of the troops, the armour and weapons of the troops, terrain and climate of the hex, number of war machines involved, spells cast by mages, and Artifacts held by characters all play a part in determining the battle’s result. Failure to destroy or capture a population centre does not necessarily result in the loss of the attacking army, though it can do so. And further, characters in the losing army may be injured or killed. Again, if you wish to see the equations governing combat please ask for a copy of the full Middle-earth rules, or go to our website to download programs designed to predict combat results.

The Untold War of the Ring Miscellaneous

MMiisscceellllaanneeoouuss AArrttiiffaaccttss Artifacts are the magical legacies from an earlier age of Middle-earth. These relics can come in many forms, including rings, wands, weapons, armour, as well as in other more esoteric forms. The acquisition, or loss, of some of the powerful items has changed the course of Middle-earth history. Some Artifacts may be aligned to Good or Evil, whilst others are not aligned at all. If an Artifact is aligned, only characters of nations with allegiances that are the same as the Artifact’s alignment can use the Artifact. Those Artifacts that have no alignment have no such restrictions. Regardless of an Artifact’s alignment, however, any character may possess any Artifact, although they may not be able to gain any benefit from it. Most Artifacts grant the owner a fixed benefit, such as an increase to a statistic or bonus in combat, whilst the Arkenstone can only be used with the Use Scrying Artifact order. Skill ranks adjusted upward by Artifacts will appear in parentheses next to the base skill rank. For example, a character with a command rank of 50 bearing an Artifact that adds 10 to command rank will be shown as command 50 (60) on the result-sheet. In addition, Artifacts which increase a character’s mage skill also increases their individual spell casting ranks. (In this case, the bonus is not added to the individual spell ranks on the turn sheet, but included in brackets before the spell list.) Skill ranks adjusted by Artifacts can exceed the normal 100 limit. Artifacts are carried by characters, and transferred between Characters. The maximum number of Artifacts any one Character may carry is six, although you can only use one weapon at a time.

EEnnccoouunntteerrss During the course of their travels, both characters journeying alone and commanders of armies may happen upon some of the many creatures, characters and places which make up the rich world of Middle-earth. These encounters may vary from the investigation of a cave, to a talk with Gandalf, to a brush with one of the great dragons! Depending on the character (their skills, allegiance, etc.) and their reaction to the encounter, they can result in anything from the gaining of artifacts, information or gold, to violent death. Characters will first be made aware of an encounter by a message in the turn. Following this, any character in the same hex can then investigate the encounter. The following turn they will receive a more detailed account of whatever is awaiting them. Sometimes this is a fixed event, but often they will be given several choices of ways in which to react, such as attack, talk, run away, etc. It is then up to you whether or not to react to the encounter, but be aware that if the character does not react, they are assumed to run away. And turning your back on a potentially violent encounter is not always the best course of action...

RRuummoouurrss Rumours of secret plans and activities are common trade throughout most civilised regions. Like all such gossip, some are true, some greatly exaggerated, and some simply false. These tales would normally arise from unusual activities such as armed conflicts, challenges or assassinations, but might also tell of a nation’s more closely guarded secrets. Remember, rumours can be dangerous to act upon without careful consideration or confirmation, but just as be dangerous to ignore.

HHiinnttss aanndd AAddvviiccee This is a list of simple things you can do on your first turns of your first game of Middle Earth. It’s not subtle, but it will work. Then, by the time you have run a few turns, you’ll have your own ideas about how to rule your nation and can discard these suggestions if you choose. CCoommmmaannddeerrss • All army commanders should recruit from cities, major towns or towns. • Don’t worry about equipping your troops with weapons, armour or food. • If you meet an enemy army with one of your armies, your army commander should Attack Enemy (order 230) and

Refuse Challenges (order 215). EEccoonnoommyy • Always have a character at your capital who can Natsell (order 325). Sell whichever product will make you the most

money, every turn. Agents and mages are good for this. • Keep an eye on your revenue. If you have a deficit of, say, 6000 gold, then make sure you leave 6000 gold in your

treasury. You will need to think about next turn’s finances this turn. • Try to look a couple of turns into the future, figure out whether you will be able to survive should you lose a vital pop.

centre. • Try to sell products when the market sell price is high, and buy when the market purchase price is low. Examples of

high market sell prices are food selling for 2, bronze for 4, steel for 5, timber for 4, mounts for 8 and leather for 3. SSttrraatteeggyy • Look after your Major Towns or Cities, if you have neither, your nation is eliminated. • Attack! Keeping a few armies on your towns to defend them is fine, but won’t win you the game. • Keep at least one character at the capital to execute those 'capital only' orders, especially Natsell. • Whilst many factors affect the outcome of a battle, by far the most important are the number of troops fielded, and

type of troop fielded (heavy cavalry being superior to heavy infantry). Compared to these factors the others are of far less import, but of them, armour type is perhaps the next most relevant, and certainly, if you only have enough materials for either weapons or armour, armour is the more cost effective.

AAggeennttss • Level rank 10-35 - stay at your capital, Guard Location (order 605) and Natsell (order 325). • Level rank 45+ - Move Character (order 810) to an enemy camp and Steal Gold (order 690). • For the purposes of the above advice, add half stealth to the agent rank to decide what to try. MMaaggeess • Cast spells at your capital and Natsell (order 325). GGeenneerraall • Contact your allies, and keep in communication with them througout the game. If possible, find an experienced player

who is willing to take you under his or her wing. • Get your turn in a few days before the deadline. • Contact us if you are unsure about something and we’ll do what we can to help explain.

These with the exception of the turn number and security code will be the same for length of the game. Turn number indicates the number of turns you have played, not the number of turns the game has run. Thus it is not uncommon for turn numbers to vary slightly from player to player. The account balance is a hang-over from an old accounting system and can safely be ignored. The security code is a four-digit number randomly generated each turn. This code is required to authorise any changes or requests for information directed to MEPBM. See the 'ME House Rules & Procedures' for more details. The special service indicator will be marked yes, meaning that if you do not get a turn in by the next due date a fixed set of orders will be run for each of the characters in your position.

RReellaattiioonnss This section details your relations to the other nations.

PPooppuullaattiioonn CCeennttrreess This section shows each of the population centres under your control. For each population centre, you're shown its name, location, size, fortification level, loyalty, hidden indicator, siege indicator, production for that hex and current stores. Location tells you the number of the hex the population centre is in, the terrain in that hex and the current climate in that hex. The hidden indicator shows 'TRUE' if the Population Centre is hidden and 'FALSE' if it is not. The siege indicator operates in the same manner, showing 'TRUE' if the population centre was under siege by an enemy army for the turn just passed, and 'FALSE' if it was not under siege. Expected hex production is shown for each of the seven products: leather, bronze, steel, mithril, food, timber and mounts. Expected production is determined by the size of the population centre and the climate, and may be less than the maximum possible hex production. Below the production numbers are shown the amount in stores for each of the seven products. The last item of information for each city is the presence of any foreign characters or armies. Any population centre under your control may report any spotted foreign characters or armies in that hex.

AArrmmiieess In this section each of your armies will be listed under its commander. To the right of each commander's name will be the army's location, terrain, and climate. Following the commander's name will be a complete listing of all the army's attributes: morale, the number of transport ships needed to transport the army across the sea (ignore this!) the army's travel mode (ignore this!), and a listing of all troops, by type, including training, weapon and armour ranks. Also listed will be any items in army's baggage train, including food and war machines. Any other characters with the army will be listed below the baggage train information. Finally, below each army's information will be a report of any population centres and other armies at the same location.

CCoommppaannyy CCoommmmaannddeerrss Companies are not used at the sart of the Untold War of the Ring, though you will be able to create them later on, and will receive more information about them at that time.

MMiisscceellllaanneeoouuss Information under this section includes revenue and maintenance costs, total product stores, the names of any hostages in your possession, a listing of all Artifacts, any general messages about events involving your nation, and any encounter and combat messages. Note that all maintenance costs and revenue for the next turn are expected figures. Changes in season and orders given, among other things, can effect the actual figures. Note also that there are two Artifact listings, one of Artifacts currently held by characters and one of Artifacts known to be secreted in hexes or population centres (not used in the Untold War of the Ring). Additionally, messages may appear here regarding satisfaction of certain victory conditions and regarding new character availability. It is unwise to name more characters than you are allowed, if you ever have nine or more active characters, the extras will be retired at random.


MMaarrkkeett PPrriicceess Each of the seven available market products has its own column. In each column, the first line shows the name of the product, the second line shows how many units (if any) of that product are available, the third line shows the amount of gold you must pay to purchase one unit, and the fourth line shows the amount of gold you will receive by selling one unit to the market.

OOrrddeerrss GGiivveenn This lists all of your characters and the orders issued by each for the turn. Note that this chart reads across, left to right, rather than top to bottom as it is on your turn sheet. Also note that each character is listed twice, once for each order. Any character given less than two orders will show 'No order given' to the right of the character's name.

CChhaarraacctteerrss This section shows each of your characters, and their ranks and possessions, along with a description of each character's activities for that turn. Any characters who possess rank-enhancing Artifacts will have the enhanced rank appear in parenthesis () next to those ranks that are affected. Also, any characters who know spells will have the casting rank appear in parenthesis () next to each spell. Any characters who possess combat Artifacts will have a "√" appear next to any combat Artifact that is currently being used. An '†' or '+' next to a rank indicates a special ability – healing twice as fast, or challenge rank bonus.


MMaappss This final section includes a graphic representation of your homeland and some scouting / reconnaissance reports. The turn map allows you to take in a great deal of information at once. Represented on the map are terrain (including roads and rivers) population centres (ruins have no icon), fortifications and armies. Note that army icons represent the presence of one or more armies of that allegiance. For example, a Free Peoples’ army icon in a hex could signify one army, two armies, even three or more. The scouting / reconnaissance reports will be smaller versions (7 hexes) of the turn map with the same type of information and representations. MMaapp IIccoonnss

TTuurrnn SShheeeett The turn sheet is used each turn to submit your orders if you are playing by paper. However, we recommend that you use Automagic to create your orders as it is designed to assist you with learning the game and completing orders successfully. If you have any trouble with the software, please contact us, and we will be able to help. Please read the House Rules for guidance on the format of this. Near the top of each turn-sheet, beneath the game title and edition, will be your name, account number, game number, player number, and turn number. The next item on your turn sheet will be the due date. The due date is the date by which the turn-sheet must reach our offices – not the date to post it! Please allow time for the postal service to deliver. Following the due date is a listing of all of your characters. Underneath each character's name are two sets of blank lines to allow each character to issue up to two orders. (Please refer to the 'orders' section for what additional information is required and in what order to place this information on the turn sheet). The most common items of required information for orders have abbreviations which are quicker and easier to use than the entire word. They are as follows: GGooooddss Wood wo Mounts mo Leather le Bronze br Steel st Mithril mi Food fo Timber ti Gold go None no TTrrooooppss Heavy Cavalry hc Heavy Infantry hi

Three points to keep in mind while filling out your turn-sheet:

• Character IDs are always five letters long. • Spaces count as letters for character IDs • Hex numbers are always four digits long.

CCaallccuullaattiinngg yyoouurr UUnnttoolldd WWaarr PPooiinnttss At the end of the game the Team Leader sends in their Untold War Points sheet, and works out their team’s total Untold War Points. The team with the most Untold War Points wins. Experienced players of Middle-earth PBM may be used to the concept of Victory Points, which are shown on the front of the results sheet (calculated from such things as gold reserves and size of armies). These are not used to calculate victory in the Untold War. The only thing that matters are the Untold War Points, as described in this document. Example: If the Noldo Elves (nation 10) hold Dol Guldur (2715) at the end of the game, it would trigger three VC prizes for a total of 850 team points: 100 Untold War Points for the Noldo’s victory conditions: To hold at game end the population center of Dol Guldur @2715. 250 Untold War points: A Dragon Lord Major Town or City. Hex location: 2715 500 Untold War Points: Dol Guldur is captured or destroyed. Each nation can contribute 500 Untold War Points through completing their own nation specific goals (detailed on the front of the results sheet). The team can also score up to 2250 Untold War Points from completing team goals. This means that the best possible score for any team would be 4750 Untold War Points. The team with the most Untold War Points after turn 15 wins the game. There are no individual victories.

Untold War of the Ring Appendix A: Designer’s Notes

AAppppeennddiixx AA:: DDeessiiggnneerr’’ss NNootteess (Note: these are intended to be of interest to experienced players – if you are new to MEPBM, please ignore this section!) This scenario, set in TA 3017, was commissioned by Ron Strong for his postgraduate study. The brief was for a 10 turn game in which each team of 5 nations included one very powerful nation. Thus a team of 4 could each run one of the other nations and democratically run the large one. We chose the Untold War as a battleground for several reasons. Firstly, it is a part of the Tolkien mythos that is little investigated, we could not think of any other game which covers it. Secondly, it takes place with about the right number of combatants for Ron’s mandate. And thirdly, after 15 turns the Ringbearer destroys the One Ring and Sauron is destroyed – which makes for a good background reason for the game coming to an end at a fixed time. In order to make sure the game was viable, we made choices that slightly contradict the above story of the Untold War. The inclusion of the Rohirrim and the forces of Saruman balanced the game perfectly, creating the right topology for interesting tactics across the ‘board’ of the game map, and giving the Free People a potent and mobile nation with which to counter the Dog Lord. Whilst Tolkien did ‘tell’ of this war , it was distinct from the most famous military engagements involving Gondor and as such felt natural to include in the scenario. We excluded the Easterlings out of a need to maintain the right sized map for the scale of the conflict, and, as with the decision in the south, to create the right topology for an interesting game. Each side has a heartland, in the North West and North East respectively, whilst the bottom half of the map describes a more fluid arena of battle. The two large nations are the Noldo Elves and the Dragon Lord, each starting with extra characters, the most potent characters and powerful, hidden population centres. As with the Battle of the Five Armies module, all nations start with 60% tax rate. Extra orders will be made available as the game develops.

Untold War of the Ring Appendix B: 4 vs. 4 Scneario Teamwork and Team Decision Making

AAppppeennddiixx BB:: 44 vvss.. 44 SScceennaarriioo TTeeaammwwoorrkk aanndd TTeeaamm DDeecciissiioonn MMaakkiinngg

TThhee GGrroouupp NNaattiioonnss ffiigghhttiinngg tthhee CCoovveerrtt WWaarr The individual nations start with the usual 8 characters whilst the group nations have 12 characters of a much higher quality than the average in the individual nations. More importantly, most of the crucial characters who will engage in the covert aspects of MEPBM are within these nations, characters like the sons of Elrond - Elrohir and Elladan, or the Nazgûl - Jí Indûr and Khamûl. These characters will fight the covert war through orders such as ‘Assassinate’ and ‘Kidnap’ and spells like ‘Sickness’ and ‘Curses’. However, in MEPBM, the success of agent actions and ‘curse squads’ relies on full teamwork – including the sharing and wise use of artefacts, the formation of cross-nation companies and multiple source information gathering. For example, each time that Ji Indur manages to kill an enemy commander, he will have relied on the actions of around 6 other characters: he will use artefacts from two other characters, be in a company led by another character, and be making his choices based on the scouting of another character and the spells of many seers. The teamwork required to organise a ‘curse squad’ is generally even more complex.

TThhee GGrroouupp NNaattiioonnss’’ MMiilliittaarryy SSiiggnniiffiiccaannccee There are very significant bonus points on offer for winning the fight in the very centre of the map: Lothlorien and Dol Guldur. This battlefield is in reach of all the individual nations, who can choose how many forces to divert from their own home territory to fight. But essentially the Noldo and the Dragon Lord will determine what happens here. Both capitals are hidden and fortified, requiring significant expenditure of team resources before an attack can be launched on the enemy capital. And, given the enormous numbers of troops that can be thrown into this crucible, the military choices made by the two Group Nations will have enormous significance to the success of the team.

GGeenneerraall TTeeaammwwoorrkk Aside from this, all the nations will need to look after each other economically. One often cannot predict where the opponents will strike, and a nation which does well in one game may be persecuted in another game. A good team will have to adapt to the changing economic fortunes of each nation and organise support where needed. The Untold War points system, which determines victory, rewards teams which protect all five of their nations, and are able to launch strikes at significant holdings belonging to each of the opposing five nations. The teams that score well will need good teamwork and good team morale – individual brilliance won’t factor if the teamwork is not there. However, a dogmatic approach to the team will also likely lead to trouble. There are sufficient different demands on a team in MEPBM that it is always impossible to deal with all threats. A team which is able to listen to the input of all four members will strike a good balance in judging which threats are severe, and which are correct to ignore. A team with a single dominant voice will over-commit resources to a single arena, and will suffer as a result.
