the strongest card has to be "Fly you fools"
I was just wondering. Learning KOME when?
More wome content pls and now maybe some Kings of middle earth explain how to play every card etc.
Wow, that was very lucky
Hi! I am super passionate about this game and I would die to play it on a PC! How can I get it? Please!!!
Gotta call in poudaddy
This is why I don't play WOTR competitively.
In the USA we say people must have a horse shoe up their *ss, if they are lucky. In Canada is it snow show instead? :p.
Second breakfast with Bob, the Canadian, none left for the polar bear.
Nice to have you back, even if briefly Bob! That was insane, never seen that on 1 die with not really insane cards or anything! I assume you won?
Yeah, the luck calmed down a bit but continued mostly being in my favor, so i won. Thanks for still tuning in! 😊
Bro dont know how to play military free people? (Military strategy of the alternative companions complete ignored)
Where is the pc game available?
Thanks so much for your videos - really insightful. I notice that you suggest to move those initial armies asap to DEW / Gondor without mustering any elites prior to moving. The armies are largely regular with maybe 1 elite each - will the time you save moving those initial armies be lost by taking longer to siege a stronghold due to having fewer elites ?
Thanks for this video. Very interesting really. I realize that you refer to many cards and it's hard to know them and their effects by heart so sometimes, I could not follow. Anyways, great, thanks again !
Rough!
Very interesting game!
honestly, I like the casts with the expansions. more options pop up. the greyhavens attack. epic.
Good stuff!
Hi, pretty sad I just found your content - brilliant videos and explanations - and immediately fond out you're retiring... Quick addition to this one: + As far as we understand the rules, the dead men can choose to move into an attacked region after the shadow army was forced to retreat WITHOUT sacrificing another faction unit. This significantly increases their reach and led me and my players to come to the conclusion that WOME combined with LOME makes the FP too strong defensively, making a swift military victory almost impossible for SP, main reason being dead men and ents. As you say: they're an army of Balrogs each... + You can bring them into play with Strider! Here's our house rule: dead men and ents alway only roll 2 attack dice instead of 3. Best regards
Do you have to activate the Balrog before you can move it? I'm just learning this game
I think you only get the Narya die if Gandalf is the guide AND the fellowship moved in the previous turn
This. Pretty sure you don't get his die on the first turn
@@mathiasjensen2841 (late) these conditions are correct but you still get the die first turn
Where can one get this game online?
Rough game for team blue...
It's my understanding that OUR is widely criticized for overstating/misrepresenting its performance and capabilities, and the founder/former CEO resigned after between sued for a variety of sexual misconduct. Trafficking in its many forms is a truly terrible thing, but maybe another organization is where you should invest your efforts.
Good to hear about, I'll take a look into that one for sure. Do you know another one to look at?
@@rompsteelwarofthering6490 Unfortunately no. It's just coincidence that I came across an article critical of OUR recently. Unfortunately it's not a sector I know too much about otherwise.
I support Altas Free that helps free people from human trafficking.
did I see the Free people player playing action tiles??? As far as I know only shadow player gets those when FP player starts with companions outside the fellowship.
Stupid question - where/how do you play this ? looks awesome
My guess (and it is just a guess) is Vassal?
alsoo need to consider LOME
Thanks for the great content, hopefully the new gig ends up with enough free time for you to enjoy now and then a game or a vid. Cheers!
Hey Bob, nice game. Feels a bit anticlimatic to see the last match going so one-sided like this. Wonder where did I've seen this before. Nevertheless great series. Fishing for C cards might' been a good strat, but felt like going full rush was in fact the better option; A single bad roll in mordor for the fpp, and you could be the one in the driver seat. Gondor was for the taking, only DA left and Edoras was already done for as well.
Yeah, the fellowship stalling out seemed a more likely hope than hoping for a red tile to me too. And haha yeah, kinda the opposite of our finals last year huh
As a reminder…. I got a turn 5 dunk against you 😉
Yes, shocking as it may seem, my basic mental faculties are still operational 😃
I don't want to spoil anyone so I'll just say congrats to the Champ and to the silver medalist! Romspteel, I've watched & enjoyed every vid you made and I appreciate all the time you've put in. Looking fwd to your next 'last' vid, so I won't say farewell just yet ;)
Hi great game. Always cool to see the LOME edition played. One question: under what circumstances is it allowed to use more than one companion to sooke up corruption damage? I can't find it anywhere in the rules that you can use more than one companion at a time. Best regards
It’s the guide ability of merry and pippin so it’s only allowed for those two companions when they become the guide
Is the hobbits guide ability elaborated somewhere?.I mean it doesn't say you can chuck both hobbits for the price of one on the card itself...
On the card itself, what it says is that their guide ability allows them to be taken as a casualty, but still separate from the fellowship onto the map, right? It's because it's their guide ability to be taken as a casualty that allows you to do a chain reaction. For all the other companions, taking them as a casualty is done as a part of a step in the hunt damage resolution, using their level to reduce damage. But then after this step, additionally if there is a new guide for the fellowship, you can use their guide ability, so if the guide just died and now a hobbit is the guide, you may use their guide ability. This also applies to gollum, as soon as he becomes guide his guide abilities apply to the current hunt tile being resolved.
Awesome. Thank you for the elaboration. So basically, if I understand correctly, if Gimli is guide and I pull a 3 corruption tile, I can sacrifice Gimli to reduce 2 corruption, then declare merry or pippin as guide and imidietely use their guide ability to further reduce the corruption by 1, correct?
@@redmakak9479yes you are correct presuming there are no level 2 companions left in the fsp
Ah sad to hear that Romp - think you were the first person I ever played against on the server and have both really enjoyed your vids and learned a lot watching 'em. All the best for the future!
The combat in Minas Tirith was ridiculous. Will miss your videos.
Hey Bob, Ive really enjoyed all your videos and have learned a lot from you so thanks for that! All the best to you and your family
See you along the way! Stay out of trouble, ya old scalawag!
Why not use the Horn of Gondor on one of those first two hits?
Would've been a reasonable choice for sure, reasons for keeping it would include that if I played foul thing from the deep, and drew a 1, then he could block it with horn of gondor instead of taking a random, and sometimes people like to get a bit of corruption up (usually up to 4) to make morgul wound hurt less if it shows up, and to give room for athelas to heal for full value (up to 3) if you get the chance to play it.
@@rompsteelwarofthering6490 Ah, that makes sense. I guess I still just reflexively play anything to keep corruption down, but I should consider playing a more thoughtful game.
good luck with new profession, I bet it will be great
Yeah, I still gotta figure that part out lol. Thanks! :)
good luck man!
Thanks for all the videos, Bob! Best wishes in your future endeavors! We'll miss you!
Thank you for the amazing videos. I think I really learned a lot from you and I really enjoyed your perspective on the game. Good luck in life and (hopefully for me) I can comment again in the next upload :) 🙏.
Great game between two WotR titans! Sorry to hear that you're 'leaving' Rompsteel, I have enjoyed all your videos and was looking fwd to more WOME videos too. You've been a great boon to the community, and I will look fwd to those few chances you do get to post in future. Good luck in your new endeavors and with your young family!
Thanks very much! Yeah I'm glad I figured out WOME now while I still had lots of time for the game, trying to figure it all out in small chunks would be more difficult. There's a good chance if I do post a video every now and then that it will be a WOME one, since that's definitely my favourite way to play this game :)
Good luck with your retirement.
I think in situations where aragorn might get trapped early game, it might be better to retreat out of stronghold region rather than let him die shadow still has to deal with a relatively large fp army even if they have the stronghold and it can defend pelargir
Also ive always enjoyed your videos! sad to hear about your retirement, best of luck!
Yeah, that would be a reasonable choice, it does feel bad giving up a stronghold, but it also feels bad dooming Aragorn to death turn 1, and having Aragorn with a decent army running around is absolutely a problem yeah.
Great game. You forgot to click the button to show the stats at the end to the viewers fyi ;)
I would also say, as a new player, I was scared to bring in the witch king because he activated all the free peoples. In the end, this doesn't matter a whole low, especially if Gondor is already at war.
What happened 60 Chris?
Congrats Bob on making the Finals! Another fun game to watch!
I like how Bob was the most excited about the game he lost! I thought game 3 was a banger to but that was said zero times
Haha fair, yeah this was a good one too
@6:05 I think you’re better not being revealed with how slow military is. Even if you take another turn to get in your still more worried about corruption loss than mikitary
