Fantasy Fellowship
ALTERNATIVE TIME-LINES IN MIDDLE-EARTH

Page: 1|2|3

Faramir returns to Osgiliath

PART TWO: THE CAMPAIGN TREES

Once you have assembled a Fantasy Fellowship you will need to guide them through a number of scenarios in order to tell the tale of their adventures through Middle-earth in their quest to destroy the One Ring. The precise scenarios played will depend on who you have chosen to be your Ringbearer. If you have selected either Frodo or Bilbo then follow Campaign Tree 1. If you have selected Isildur to be the Ringbearer then follow Campaign Tree 2.

Victory!

Defeat!

(i) The "Not here, not so close to the Eye" rule applies to the Ringbearer. The companion is subject to the rules for Sam, providing the Fellowship entered Lothlorien.
(ii) As an optional rule, you could try playing the "Pride of Gondor" scenario. If you do, the "Captain Faramir is wounded" rule does not apply.
(iii) The option of taking armour for Hero 4 only applies if they would normally be allowed armour in their wargear list.
(iv) Hero 3 will start mounted if he has the option in his wargear list. If not, he will start as a passenger on Éowyn's horse.
(v) Only Aragorn will bear Anduril. If Aragorn is not present in the force his replacement will not bear the Flame of the West.
(vi) The Ringbearer is assumed to have had his armour taken from him. If the Ringbearer is Isildur reduce his defence by 2. The "Samwise the Brave" rule applies to the companion.

(a) The Ringbearer and companion have little time to recover between scenarios. As a result, the only things they can recover between games are Wounds. Any points of Might, Will or Fate are lost for the rest of the campaign.
(b) These scenarios are all linked into the Battle of Pelennor Fields. As a result, there is no time to replenish any Wounds, Might, Will or Fate lost between games.
(c) If Théoden is victorious against the Ringwraith in this scenario, he will be present for the "Black Gate Opens". If this occurs, he will be subject to rule (b).

The third part of the article discusses some strategic tips for how to get the best out of a Fantasy Fellowship and gives a few examples of different Fellowships.
