UPDATED RULES FOR PLAYING
EXPERIENCE-BASED CAMPAIGNS IN MIDDLE-EARTH
ISENGARD BATTLE COMPANY
When
Saruman the White — wisest of all the Istari — fell from grace
and cast his lot in with the Red Eye of Mordor, he was given the key to creating
an army bred for destruction. The Uruk-hai, mightiest of all the breeds of
Orcs, were reared in huge numbers in Orthanc's pits, and there Saruman mustered
his army. Intent on doing the bidding of his new master, Saruman unleashed
his creations into the Westfold. Hacking and burning, they wrought terrible
devastation by separating into small roving bands seeking out villages and
killing at random.
An Isengard Battle Company represents such a group of raiders — Orcs, fighting Uruk-hai, and Evil Men of Dunland — descending on Rohan with unbridled cruelty and aggression. As the company gains momentum and inflicts damage on its enemies, the minions of Saruman flock to join it and swell its ranks with vile warriors.
Note on Isengard Battle Companies. Wild Men of Dunland and Orc Warriors within an Isengard Battle Company do not receive promotion in the same way as the Uruk-hai and treat any Promoted result as No Effect. They may become Heroes as normal, however. Uruk-hai Berserkers are far too battle-crazed and unstable to ever become Heroes and cannot be Promoted.
