Osgiliath, the first capital of Gondor™, is now a shattered husk spanning both sides of the Anduin river. A detachment of Sauron’s forces now controls this sprawling ruin – this desolation is the setting of the fantastic new Battle of Osgiliath boxed game for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game.
That’s a huge dollop of Middle-earth goodness. Let’s break down what you can find inside this massive new set.
Replacing the Pelennor Fields set after four years of loyal service, this massive and magnificent new box pits Faramir and the forces of Gondor against Gothmog and the despicable hordes of Mordor, and contains everything you need to get started with the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game.
You get 27 miniatures on the side of Good, including stunning new sculpts for three mighty Heroes of Gondor – Faramir, Madril, and Damrod, now in glorious plastic for the first time.
But those mighty heroes can’t protect Osgiliath alone, you also get 12 Warriors of Minas Tirith, and 12 Rangers of Gondor, ready to lay down their lives in the defence of Osgiliath.
Spearheading the assault on the city for the forces of Evil is the brutal Gothmog, Lieutenant of Sauron. He can ride to battle on a fearsome mount or fight on foot, thanks to two all-new jaw-dropping miniatures – again in plastic for the very first time.
This cunning Orc commands 24 Morannon Orcs and a ferocious Mordor Troll, ready to capture the ruins from Faramir and his fellows in the name of Mordor and the Dark Lord.
These two forces join battle amongst the ruins of Osgiliath, and the city itself is represented by an all-new set of magnificently modular Gondor terrain. This iconic new scenery set has been designed to be easily expandable, and it will make your tabletop battles look like they’re straight out of the films.
You’ll also get an updated 224-page Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game rules manual, collecting all the information you need to play straight out of the box, alongside a scenario booklet, dice, and a range ruler.
More news about this excellent new boxed set will be coming soon, while plenty more Middle-earth goodness will be announced today. Check back here for the rest of the day’s Middle-earth reveals, and sign up for our newsletter for further news.
