As promised, the War of the Ring v2 is finally out.

This is a fan-made project that took a couple of years of development and involved an international team of players, reviewers and lore enthusiasts. This team tried to improve and update the game published 15 years ago by Games Workshop without altering his core mechanics. In particular, the work aimed on fixing the most obvious problems and unbalances, like epic actions, cost of formations, heroes abilities, Fates and Fortunes, just to name few. The book mirrors the original from GW, with the changes highlighted in blue, for a quick comparison between “old” and “new”. We also introduced inside the text itself the few FAQs released by GW at the time, discarding the most nonsensical and the ones in conflict with the update.

The book is plenty of new pictures and example to better explain some crucial mechanics, along with a lot of new troops and heroes from the Hobbit range and the newest Middle-earth releases with which improve your armies and game experience. It is impossible to reassume here all the improvements, so if you are looking for a more balanced and enjoyable mass-battle game in Middle-earth, just take a look!

With this we hope to revive interest both in the old guard who approached the game when the original book was published, that in potential new players coming from the Strategy Battle Game.
