Moments like this are one of the many great things about this game 😅

Middle Earth is probably the best ruleset GW produce, and it is certainly miles ahead of 40k and AoS. Would love to see you do more games.

It gets less bitching from the fanbase, so they have room to find out what works without excessive "feedback".

The turn order/priority changing is a better system imo than I hit u, u hit me with 40k It's also rather simple even with hero models and magic, but the simplicity doesn't detract from the strategy

The fact that lead designer is also a top level competitive player may or may not have something to do with the system being and staying healthy.

the only problem is power creep when they make a new faction. when the hobbit realsed the heros out classed the old stuff. azog and bolg were to strong for there point cost at the time for example. its not as bad now since the older armys and heros have been updated a bit to keep in line with the newer stuff but im seeing the problem again with those beornings at the moment.

Those sentries are mvps, held up several orks and blocked lines if ingress the entire game. Truly the courage of Gondor stands!

Is it weird I'm enjoying every non-40k game they play far more? Seeing all these cool new rules and styles of wargaming is awesome!

MESBG, Legion and 2.0 X-Wing all have superior rulesets to 40k, quite frankly. Warhammer is all grim and dark and fun but the tabletop ruleset isn't the most immersive or intriguing. I still like 40k but other games are simply better regarding some mechanics

@@leiziru9642 I agree. I switched over to OPR a few months ago, and it's amazing how fast and streamlined the matches go. I wish GW would trim some of the fat off the rules to make games shorter and keep players more immersed in each phase of the game.

Please play more of this! MESG is a great game with many gorgeous miniatures and it lends itself uniquely well to the cinematic PlayOn Style. Also Try AoS again in the 40 minute formate, it deserves it.

Some Battle Companies on this channel would be cool, especially with these guys getting so deep into narrative and immersive scenarios!

This battle report is probably one of my favourites, it doesn't feel like nothing is happening and keeps flowing

Zorpazorp’s Osgiliath is epically huge and extremely well constructed. Watching your guys play this morning has proven to me “size does NOT matter”. Your setup is equally awesome - really enjoyed the playthrough. Well done indeed.

Agreed!!

Every Middle Earth game has emotion and an energy behind it. That moment in the game when Might has run out, Fate is gone, and all that's left is that roll for priority, there's nothing better.

This video was by far the most fun I’ve had learning a new system of tabletop gaming. Middle Earth is one of my favorite fantasy settings and it helped that the terrain and models were truly immersive in their beautiful details.

Absolutely obsessed with all things LOTR and LOVE this video! Please please please keep it up! So much fun. You guys got me hooked with WH40K and this is just my absolute dream come true to see LOTR miniatures and battles! Keep it up! "FOR GONDOR! - FOR GONDOR! - FOR GONDOR!!!"

i love this system. please please please id love to see you try a story of the fellowship choosing your own heros and ring bearer

I love lotr theme battles, I hope you continue to use systems other than 40k

MORE MORE OF THIS Honestly this is more interesting than the Star Wars or the Conquest game.

This was great. I love MESBG, but it's been a bit of a niche game in recent years. To see a channel with the ability to put this much love into MESBG is awesome. More please!

The troll throwing the Osgiliath vet into the river is one of the reasons I love this game system so much, so many opportunities for funny moments. It could be kicking Aragorn off a cliff, accidentally shooting your own orcs, hobbits killing knights with a rock (and ungodly good dice rolls) and catapulting riders of Rohan off their horses.

Awesome to see MESBG content, especially the high quality you guys bring. Only problems I noticed was the Fellbeast moving and attacking twice. He can do that with either a heroic combat or a barge power attack, which both work a little differently than shown, and the trebuchet can't target someone in combat because they're a good army, but over all an amazing video

I suspect that they knew but were applying rule of cool. Another example: They also didn't reduce the Nazgul's Will after fighting, I assume because they wanted to showcase it and not worry about that.

I am pretty sure the beast called a couple heroic combats As for the tebuchet, no he can’t target a mini in combat, but if I recall correctly this was due to an FAQ where for a while good forces could fire swigs weapons into combat. I remember it being a thing before the first FAQ

Its just so beautiful seeing so much fresh wind coming into MESBG lately. I hope this is lasting and will build a stronger and broader community base. I want more opponents to crush!!

I wonder if the other content creators just scream into a pillow in despair when you put up a new game and instantly create a new standard for batreps. 40k, Star Wars legion, now MESBG. Amazing quality. Board was insane

Awesome board and game, really happy to see Middle earth Strategy on this channel, got into the game a few months ago and i´m loving it. Hopefully we can see more of this games on the channel, the more the merrier. Cheers

As someone who never played wargames before, watching this video made me an instant fan! Rules are super simple to understand - to finicky cards / economy to deal with, everything is clear and streamlined. Now, I'm gonna go and pick up my own Battle for Osgiliath box!

I never comment please make more of lord of the ring videos it’s made me even more interested in playing

Oh no! Not Established Titles. Look it up fellas 😬

Fantastic Battle Report, loved it. The music was so much more dramatic than every other game.

Just returning here to encourage you to do more Middle-earth content, because this is still such a great video :)

Even though your first MESBG report, it ranks easily on the top. Great narrative, no rules mistakes, excellent board, engaging editing. Everything on the spot. Keep it up!

Absolutely love the game!! Best Middle Earth Batrep on KZread. Please give us more!

Never saw a game of Middle Earth before since I'm quite new to just 40k, and it's actually really cool! Love the differences in mechanics as well. Great job on the board and the game as well, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fantastic game! Stunning map and miniatures, and the battle was uncannily dramatic! I hope we'll see many more scenarios from Middle Earth! (Elves! Rohan! An Oliphant! Galadriel!) Thank you very much - it was a treat to watch.

Love the video. You guys may need to reconsider your sponsorship from Established Titles, it's come out that they are just a big scam.

After watching this, I'd LOVE to see Play On to make a Khazad Dum game. Dwarves reclaiming the lost kingdom of Moria and facing the dreaded Durin's Bane. That aside - wonderful game here. Tau Nick....now Orc Nick?

More MESBG please! Such an excellent game, maybe the best GW has to offer

Looks really interesting, I think it's more tactical than wh40k which mostly looks like "move this blob here to this blob and pray to dice gods". I'd definitly like to see more of it :)

I didn't think I would have any interest in this system, but you sold me. Hope to see more LOTR batreps

Great video! Had not seen LotR played on tabletop. Loved the books and movies, so it's neat seeing how the tabletop game captures those thematic moments. The board turned out great! Hopefully we will see more of Middle Earth on the channel again in the future.

Guys, your battle reports are arguably the best on KZread right now, and I stumbled on this one. MESBG is arguably one of the best games GW has ever produced and the set up was phenomenal! Great game with the rules tips popping up really explaining gameplay well. Personally, I'd LOVE to see more from Middle Earth and the factions it has to offer. Play on!!

In the previous video for this video series you (Nick) being concerned about how the board would look (and I’m just throwing production, rules explanation, over all content quality). You (Nick) and the play on team 100% have set a standard for tabletop gaming videos on KZread. I have enjoyed everything you guys have done. Thank you all!!

Such a thematic battle on what's honestly the best board on Play On. I personally would love to see a ME campaign fought on it.

This was spectacular. More middle earth please.

Loved seeing this game here, it is easily my favourite GW game and to see it with this channel's extremely high production standards is great. I would really love for it to become a regular feature.

Thank you for this great Battle Report! Would be amazing, if there would be more MESBG content :-) Can you tell us, how you modified the felle beast? I would like to modify one to a very similar pose to yours and it would be really helpful to get some tips. If I fiure it out correctly, you modified the legs and the neck quite significantly.

Really enjoyed seeing some Middle Earth strategy battle game and would like to see more. Mines of Moria would be great to see as a skirmish!

Hey guys, just started to watch this because I love LotR so it would be great to see more of the middle earth stuff, Great work!!

I hope this does well. I have a lot of love for this setting. There's a whole start to finish campaign that you can run taking the players from the Shire to Morder and I'd love to watch Nick lead the heros through it while various guests take cracks at him as the forces of evil. ALSO there's a pretty fun campaign system with warbands. I played it a bit as a youngling. Be great to see all the play on guys take on a warband and see who comes out on top.

As someone who collected LOTR Warhammer as a kid (and getting those awesome magazines) but never getting to actually play it, I very much appreciate you bringing it to the channel. Fantastic game!

This is one of my favourite battles you've filmed! please keep doing more Middle Earth batreps!

That witch king base is amazing i think i will be copying that gem Amazing table and a great battle guys

Loved this game. More please! 😃👍

The little moments that this system produces are so cool, I wasn't expecting to love this system but this turned out great!

That was a fun match to watch. The winged nazgul conversion is really awesome. Looking forward to more LOTR on your channel.

This was far more entertaining than. I thought it'd be. No buckets of dice rolling. No rules that confuse the crap out of me.

that trebuchet shot was just beautifully chaotic lol. Blasts into the tower and knocks a boulder down that just wrecks a squad lol

Amazing work ethic. I can't believe how many different rule sets you guys are playing and yet the quality does not dip. Keep up the good work and of course play on.

Hold on, you mean to tell me that Lord Space Marine Steve wasn't a lord this whole time? You learn something new every day! Great game guys, that board was beautiful!

49:00 Love the zaboomafo reference! Brings back childhood memories!

I am getting back into the game and appreciate not only the high quality editing/structure of the video, but also that it is so beginner-friendly and easy to follow. Please keep making MESBG videos!

That was a phenomenal display of sportsmanship, a game. I didn't even consider ever buying. But now it's on my wish list. Love the channel, love the personalities, keep doing what you're doing and don't change. I think you've got the winning combination. One of the things I do enjoy, it's not absolutely necessary, but it's absolutely enjoyable to see, is when you add those special effects to the recording. The recording. I'm talking about arrows or the sound of arrows flying through the air, explosions or rock shattering,.. I've seen it done in others. Gameplays but you've hit it right on the head of the nail. Take care, keep smiling, and all the best in your success.

a great LOTR palate cleanser. thank you for giving us all great content in such a dark time for tolkien fans.

YES!!! FINALLY! Please keep the MESBG-content coming, I can't get enough of this

I'm so happy you guys are moving into KT, Legion, and LOTR! Your batreps are such high quality

I’ve always been into painting minis but have never played a tabletop game with them. After watching this I’ve realized how much I’m missing out. This was awesome!

We absolutely loved this!!! My son and I definitely want more Battle for Middle Earth videos, please!!!!! We fully enjoyed this and both players played very well and did an amazing job explaining what they were doing and their strategies! Thank you!!! We are still laughing at the "Orcs were wearing paper" line at the end!

I love Lord of the Rings! So happy you guys are showing Middle Earth some much needed support. I am so excited for this new series keep it up!

Was fantastic to finally see some MESBG with Play on! briliant board excellently demonstrating how great the game is! Great work Nick and team!

MESBG is my favorite table top and easily the best one that GW has produced, so I'd love to see more on the channel!

So cool! I want more MESBG!

Great game!! Love Ian’s emotion and engagement too - matching Nick’s enthusiasm is hard, but he did it!!

Great battle report and the table you guys made looks great! So hyped to see more lotr content.

Congrats on a great game and shout-out to that beautiful set-up! Paint job top notch, I had a blast watching this video. Count me as a subscriber 🎉👏🏽

This is a Dream come true. Love to see more from middleearth

Really glad you're doing MESBG, I dont have any friends that play it so its great to check it out in such dramatic fashion!

This was fun. Looking forward to more Lord of the Ring.

Love seeing you guys playing GW's best game (and best kept secret). Looking forward to seeing more!

Would love to see more Middle-Earth content

Absolutely more MESBG content!

Great battle report. Board was truly amazing. More middle earth.

Great batrep guys well done. And what a board! Looking forward to more of this

This is one of my favourite games too. I love that you guys picked it up, same goes for MCP and I really hope you will do more battles. Your edits and voice overs make these so good to watch and very easy to follow without having to know any of the rules. Happy to see ME-SBG made it on the channel!

I had no idea that the lord of the rings game had so many fun rules! Keep doing more of these!

Great game, great board! Really hope we see more Middle Earth on the channel, it really is my favourite GW ruleset

Zaboafoo! And the Orc Brothers!! While walking in Minis Tirith one day, Sam and Frodo saw soemthing strange, a little leaping Orc who likes to bounce and play!

People frustrated with 40K and GW should play this. I’ve been a MESBG since the movies dropped. The rules have changed twice since then. It’s an incredibly well balanced game and relies so much more on player skill than a mega army.

Hey Guys, that game was amazing, had a lot of fun watching you guys feeling every dice roll. Hopefully we see at least a second try of the orcs to gain victory!!

Well done board and game! Alot of passion went into this. Editor´s notes were a good idea.

Love seeing both MESBG and Legion on this channel. Keep it up!

Great addition to the channel - love the theme

Definitely need more lord of the rings content, would love to see a battle with the last alliance fighting against orks!

This is the best editing for a battle report I've ever seen. Exceptional quality.

That was an epic battle and amazing batrep. Victory points wise was unbalanced but watching the actual game didnt feel like that, both sides having great strikes back and forth. Looking forward for more

Absolutely over the moon to see yall play MESBG. Our local group has just gotten into it, and are smitten by it. Seeing it played to the level of production that yall always bring, is such a treat.

This was awesome to be able to watch! I've never seen much of this game but I found it just as fun to watch if not more so than your 40k stuff.

Great stuff you guys! MESBG is also my favourite game and the one that introduced me to the hobby way back then. Shoutout to everyone that contributed to this great match!!

I can definitely watch more of these battles. I hope you will turn it into a regular series.

I hope y'all get to do more LOTR, that was fantastic

More LOTR please! This was such an awesome throwback for me!

I loved this battle report! So glad you are doing middle Earth! It was the first game I got into!

That was the most amazing battle I have ever watched withut any skipp forwards as well! I also have a tones of GW LOTR miniatures and I want so much to create something like this masterpiece of yours. I hope you will continue the Battles in Middle Earth because i truly like and enjoy so much this one! Epic staff guys! Faramir was truly brave and his determination to take down this troll immediately I think change the course of the battle. Also... Gondor's trebuchet? MAN OH MAN! Game changer! Nazgul trully was this close to turn the fate of this game around.

You gotta do more lotr, this was ace! Would love to see some helms deep action 😉 As a new player this was super helpful as well with how you broke it all down and explained the rules. Really awesome stuff
