The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Introduction

Introduction Welcome to the Battle of the Five Armies, a simplified version of the game Middle-earth Play-By-Mail (ME Games). Whilst MEPBM concentrates on the events of �The Lord of the Rings�, this game is set in the world of J. R. R. Tolkien�s �The Hobbit�. The game focuses on both the build-up of military forces prior to the Battle of the Five Armies described in �The Hobbit�, and the battle itself. We have created this game in order to help you learn the basic mechanisms of MEPBM in a quick and intense battle, where you will be thrust straight into the action without the need to read a lengthy rulebook. We hope that you enjoy your gaming experience with ME Games.

What is Play-By-Mail? 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: You buy a 'start-up' in one of our games and we send you the rules, background information, 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 ME Games. 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.

Some games have very simple rules - the skill comes in out-thinking your opponents in a limited environment. Other games have more depth than the most detailed computer game, so that many players are simply happy to explore the game world without even trying to interact with or defeat any of the other players. If you have never tried it before, give it a go. We promise that it will be nothing like any other kind of gaming you have tried.

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ The Five Armies

The Five Armies As a player, you will control one of the five nations, 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 do 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. The following is a brief overview of each nation, giving an idea of their historical background, identity, alignment, and nature.

The Free Peoples The Free Peoples, on hearing that the dragon Smaug is dead and that the treasure of the Lonely mountain now stands unguarded, are intent on claiming that part of the treasure they consider rightfully theirs, and united in their hatred of the Goblins and Warg Riders. The Elves (nation #12) The nation of the Wood-elves, led by their king Thranduil, is scattered in mostly small settlements throughout Mirkwood. The Elven armies are not numerous, but due to constant skirmishing against encroaching enemies, they are well trained and well led. The Elven armies are supported by competent agents and powerful mages, who moreover have a Hidden base from which to operate.

Abilities Armies lose no morale for force march. All new troop recruits start at training 25. Hire new armies at no cost Advice Your economy is fragile. Use agents to steal

to support it, try to damage the Warg Riders in Mirkwood, and block armies attacking your main recruiting spot � your capital.

The Dwarves (nation #13) The Dwarven nation is centred on the Iron Hills, but recently a daring expedition led by Thorin Oakenshield re-occupied their long-abandoned halls under the Lonely Mountain. The Dwarves are blessed with some of the most formidable warriors to be found in all of Middle-earth. Most Dwarves are trained warriors, burning with fierce hatred towards goblins and Wargs, so they are capable of sending a powerful, motivated and well-led force against their foes. In matters other than military the Dwarves are less skilled.

Abilities Scout/recon at minimum 50 (all characters). Armies lose no morale for force march. All new HI recruits start at training 30. Hire new armies at no cost.

Advice Hire as many troops as you can and throw

them against Goblin armies. If your tax rate has to go up, then so be it. Be careful not to let it get too high.

The Northmen (nation #14) The Northmen nation is composed of both Lake-men and Dale-men. Their culture is similar since both are skilled merchants and builders. The Northmen aspire to control all trade within their area and to amass wealth. Their numbers are not great, but they posses adequate and well-provisioned armies led by the formidable warriors Bard I and Beorn. They also possess deft agents with speed and cunning.

Abilities Scout/recon at +20 to normal skill rank. Armies lose no morale for force march. Buy goods at 20% cheaper. Sell goods for 20% more profit. Build fortifications at 1/2 timber cost. Hire new armies at no cost. Advice Fortify your two recruiting centres, leave

other, non essential locations. Buy timber if you have to.

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ The Five Armies

The Dark Servants The Dark Servants, well aware of the events that have been unfolding, see no reason that they themselves should not profit from the situation, or at least cause misery amongst the Free peoples. The Goblins (nation #10) Led by the Great Goblin Bolg, the Goblin nation is one of the most hated and feared in Middle-earth. Goblin troops are numerous, and have a fanatical hatred of all other races. This, and the fact that they have skilled leaders backed up by competent agents and mages, makes the Goblins formidable foes.

Abilities Armies lose no morale for force march. All new troop recruits start at training 20. New armies start at morale 40. Hire new armies at no cost. Advice Recruit from as many of your Major Towns

as possible and get the troops straight into combat. Apart from Beorn of the Northmen you should win most challenges.

The Warg Riders (nation #11) Wargs are great wolves ridden by goblins into battle. Warg Rider armies combine speed and shock tactics to great effect. The Warg Riders are led by the Necromancer, one of the most powerful individuals in Middle-earth. Surrounded by competent commanders and agents, the Necromancer can also call upon the services of many lesser mages, and seems never to run short of mounts for his troops no matter how many are lost in battle.

Abilities Armies lose no morale for force march. Armies lose less morale for movement with

out food. Hire new armies at no cost. Advice Reveal the Elven Capital and storm it if you

can. If you can�t, just support the Goblins. Conjure mounts as much as you can - fed cavalry are fast and potent.

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ A Few of the Basics

A Few of the Basics

Victory Conditions

The game lasts for ten turns. Minor Victory If your nation survives for the entire game, you earn a minor victory. Major Victory If a nation on the opposing team is destroyed, each nation on your team earns a Major Victory. Total Victory If all nations on the opposing team is destroyed, your team wins a Total Victory. During play you will be given a victory point total each turn, based on the strength of you armies, characters and locations, the amount of gold in your coffers, and the number of your five nation requirements (given to your nation at the start of the game) you have fulfilled. These victory totals give you a way to track how well you are doing compared to the other nations on your side from turn to turn, but are not used in deciding who has achieved a victory.

Staying Alive 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.

Game Time 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.

Maps On the last page or pages of your turn-sheet you will see a map of the theatre of war that is the Battle of the Five Armies. 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.

7

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Characters

Characters 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 Battle of the Five Armies. 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).

Skills 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 three professions of Commander, Agent and Mage. Some characters are only skilled in one profession, others capable in two or even three 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. Note that in the Battle of the Five Armies there are no characters with the profession of Emissary (which is to say, all characters will have an emissary rank of 0). Command Rank This determines a character's ability to lead armies, to erect fortifications at a population centre, and make overall leadership decisions. Agent Rank This determines a character's ability to perform espionage and counter-espionage covert tasks. Mage Rank This determines the quality of conjuring and reveal spells cast by the character. For many characters in this game, it is not particularly important. Character Titles by Rank Rank Commander Agent Mage 10-19 Veteran Journeyman Apprentice 20-29 Hero Footpad Acolyte 30-39 Commander Agent Mage 40-49 Captain Cutpurse Mystic 50-59 Lord Burglar Enchanter 60-69 Regent Rogue Warlock 70-79 Warlord Spy Conjurer 80-89 General Thief Sorcerer 90-99 Marshal Assassin Wizard 100 Lord Marshal Guild Master Arch Mage

Orders Orders are commands which you issue to your Characters. They are the means by which you accomplish all of your actions in the game. A list of orders you can issue to your characters is to be found later in these rules, and which will give you a description of each order together with the prerequisites needed to successfully issue that order. Each order is of a certain type. Some types of orders can only be done by a character once per turn: Command orders, Agent orders Movement orders, Healing spells Combat spells Conjuring spells Lore spells 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. All other orders in the game may be issued twice per turn without restriction, these are: Miscellaneous Orders

8

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Characters 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.

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: Easy Skill ranks between 20 - 40 have a fair/reasonable chance of success. Average Skill ranks between 40 - 60 have a fair/reasonable chance of success. Hard 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.

Special Abilities 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.

Health 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.

9

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Characters

Death 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.

Character Movement 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.

Stealth 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.

Hostage 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.

10

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Population Centres

Population Centres 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.

Size and Location 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.

Fortifications 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: Fortification Costs

Type Gold Cost Timber Cost

Troops needed to overcome

Tower 1000 1000 800 Fort 3000 3000 2400 Castle 5000 5000 4000 Keep 8000 8000 6400 Citadel 12000 12000 9600

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.

11


Loyalty 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.

Capital 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.

Production 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. Leather used in the construction of leather armour, and saddles for cavalry armies Bronze used in the construction of bronze armour and weapons Steel used in the construction of steel armour and weapons Mithril used in the construction of mithril armour and weapons Food consumed by armies in the field Timber used in the construction of fortifications and war machines Mounts used to form cavalry units for the armies Gold 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.

Hidden? In this game, the Elven capital is 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. The Necromancer has a spell that can remove this hiding enchantment.

12


Sieged? 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.

Trade Caravans 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.

Sightings 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 names of any characters sighted will appear on your result-sheet beneath the population centre at which they were spotted.

Costs 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: Old Reserves

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

+ Expected Revenue (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.)

- Maintenance

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

- Expenditures

(gold spent executing orders this turn)

+ Credits (gold received for the sale of goods)

= New Reserve

(gold reserve listed on the result sheet)

Maintenance costs are worked out using the following figures: Maintenance Costs

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.

Taxes 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 Battle of the Five Armies ~ Armies

Armies

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.

Troop Types There are two different troop types available, and an army can consist solely of one type, or of both, and as long as there is 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. The two troop types available are as follows: Heavy Infantry Bulk standard troops, weaker than cavalry, but tough enough for most jobs

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

Recruitment 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.

Morale Rank 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.

15


Training Rank 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.

Weapon Rank 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.

Armour Rank 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.

Baggage Train 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.

Food 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.

War Machines 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

16


Army Movement 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 Battle of the Five Armies ~ Magic and Spells

Magic and Spells

Casting Rank 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.

Spell Types A detailed list of spells available in Battle of the Five Armies can be found below. These fall into one of several categories, being Healing, Combat, 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).

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Combat

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

Personal Challenges 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.

Combat - Army 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.

22

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Combat

Combat – Population Centre 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 Battle of the Five Armies ~ Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous

Artifacts 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.

Encounters Encounters have been (where possible) removed from the Battle of Five armies scenario, occasionally some remnant of an encounter may remain. Should these have an adverse effect upon your nation, please contact ME Games and we will rectify the situation.

Rumours 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.

Communication One of the richest aspects of any play-by-mail game is the interaction between players. Your front-sheet will give you contact details for your allies; if you want to talk to the opposition, the easiest method is by visiting our website to join our mailing list at www.MiddleEarthGames.com You might also try visiting the Middle Earth message-board at www.PBMForum.com

Hints and Advice 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. Commanders • 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).

Economy • 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.

Strategy • 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.

Agents • 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. Mages • Cast spells at your capital and Natsell (order 325). General • 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.

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Orders

Order Details

Cast Heal Spell Type Mage Difficulty Varies - spell casting rank Order Number 120 Order Code CstHlSp Prerequisites � Spell is known by caster � Target character is at same location Required info. � Spell ID # � Target character ID

This order allows a character to attempt to cast any heal spell which he knows upon any target character (including himself) in the same hex. Casting proficiency will be improved by 1-5 points upon successful casting of the spell. For example: <120><2><bilbo>

Issue Personal Challenge Type Miscellaneous Difficulty Varies Order Number 210 Order Code IssPers Prerequisites � Target character is of a different nation � If Target character is army commander, then character must be with, or in command of, an army � Target character is at same location Required info. � Target character ID

This order allows a character to offer a personal challenge to another character of a different nation at the same location. If the challenged character is an army commander, then the challenge may only be given by a character with, or in command of, an army. Refusing such a challenge may result in the loss of morale rank in the army of the character who refused the challenge. Only one personal challenge may be fought each turn. Success in the battle will be based on all of the different skill ranks of the characters, but mage rank and command rank are best suited for this type of combat. Some Artifacts are also significant factors in the battle. The highest 'net' skill rank of the victor will improve by 1-15 points. For example: <210><bilbo>

Refuse All Personal Challenges Type Miscellaneous Difficulty Automatic Order Number 215 Order Code RfsPers Prerequisites Any character Required info. None

This order allows a character to refuse all personal challenges offered by other characters at the same location on that turn. If this order is not given, a character will be assumed to accept any such personal challenges. Refusing such a challenge may result in the loss of morale rank (1-15 points) in the army of the character who refused the challenge. This order is ignored if an Issue Personal Challenge (#210) order has also been issued by the character. For example: <215>

Cast Combat Spell Type Mage Difficulty Varies � spell casting rank Order Number 225 Order Code CstCbSp Prerequisites � Spell is known by character Required info. � Spell ID #

This order allows a character to attempt to cast any combat spell which he knows. Proficiency will be improved by 1-5 points upon successful casting of the spell. In order for the spell to affect combat, the spell caster must be with the army involved in the combat. For example: <225><108>

27

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Orders Attack Enemy Type Command Difficulty Varies Order Number 230 Order Code AttEnmy Prerequisites � Army commander only Required info. None

This order directs an army to attack all enemy armies in the hex. Successful combat will increase the morale rank in the army, the command rank of any commanders with the army, and the training rank of the troops. For example: <230>

Destroy Population Centre Type Command Difficulty Varies Order Number 250 Order Code DstPop Prerequisites � Army commander only � Population centre is in the hex � Population centre is not hidden � Population centre is of enemy nation Required info. None

This order directs the army to attack an enemy population centre which is in the hex and is not hidden. This order, if successful, will reduce the population centre to ruins. Giving this order will also cause you to do battle with any armies of the nation that owns the population centre.

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Your Turn

Your Turn Every game turn, each active player will receive the following: Front Sheet This is either a paper print out, or text in the email to which your .PDF file is attached (if you are playing by email), with non-game related information such as your name, account number, etc. Results Sheet This is either a paper print out, or an Adobe Acrobat .PDF file (if you are playing by email), containing information on your nation and activities. Turn Sheet This is either a paper print out, or an Adobe Acrobat .PDF file (if you are playing by email), which you fill in and return to us with your orders for the next turn. You may create your own turn sheet. Please read the House Rules for guidance on this.

Front-Sheet This contains your name, address and contact details (your email address is always given out to your allies, if you wish your other contact details to be passed on, please get in touch). • your account number • your account balance (Note that this is correct,

whilst the balance on your results sheet is not) • your allies� contact details • current games you are playing in • GM message for the game • GM message for all games. • Remittance tear off slip to return with payment for

game turns (when necessary)

Results Sheet The game title and edition appears in the middle of the first page. Below the title, on the left, is your name and account number (please include your account number in all communications with us). To the right of this appears, from top to bottom, your game number, player number, turn number, account balance, free turns counter, security code, and special service indicator. 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. The bottom of the title page shows three more pieces of information: your victory point total (calculated each turn), your five individual victory conditions, and, after turn zero, the top three players on your own side. All Free Peoples will get a list of the top three Free Peoples. All Dark Servants will get a list of the top three Dark Servants (although there are only two Dark Servants in the Battle of the Five Armies variant).

38

The Battle of the Five Armies ~ Your Turn The rest of the sheet is divided into sections as follows: Season This indicates whether it is spring, summer, fall (autumn) or winter. The season, in conjunction with location, affects the climate around each population centre. Relations In a full game of Middle-earth this section would detail your relations to the other nations. For the purposes of Battle of the Five Armies, however, relations with your allies are set automatically to friendly, and your relations with your enemies to hated. Population Centres 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. Armies 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.

Company Commanders Companies are not used in the Battle of the Five Armies. Miscellaneous 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 Battle of the Five Armies). 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. Market Prices 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. Orders Given 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. Characters 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.

39


Maps 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. Map Icons

Camp Tower Free Peoples Armies

Village Fort Dark Servants Armies

Town Castle

Major Town Keep

City Citadel Road Minor River Major River Bridge Ford

Shore Plains Rough Forest Mountains

Turn Sheet The turn sheet is used each turn to submit your orders if you are playing by paper. Email players may prefer to send us an email with the turn orders. 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.
