UPDATED RULES FOR PLAYING
EXPERIENCE-BASED CAMPAIGNS IN MIDDLE-EARTH
ROHAN BATTLE COMPANY
The
brave warriors of Rohan have long resisted the darkness. Sturdy and strong,
the people of Rohan make excellent warriors and take great pride in their skill
at arms. Over the years, they have fought against the Orcs, the Dunlendings,
Easterlings, and the mighty Uruk-hai of Saruman. In spite of all this hardship,
the Rohirrim have prevailed thanks to their long friendship with Gondor and
the might of their people.
The military of Rohan is divided into éoreds, groups of knights and warriors who ride to battle beneath the banner of one of the Marshals of the Mark. To be accepted into the éored of a Marshal is a great honour, something to which every warrior of the Rohirrim aspires. Often, warriors who seek this honour will find themselves assigned to a Battle Company for a time to prove their worth and valour against Rohan's many enemies.
Expert Rider. Any mounted Warrior or Hero of Rohan is considered to be an Expert Rider. Note this fact on the model's profile as it gains a horse.
Bow-Armed Riders. All Riders of Rohan come with a bow in their wargear. This fact can cause problems when playing Battle Company games. A force with a preponderance of bows is very likely to win, and that makes for dull, predictable games. As such, only Riders of Rohan models that are actually holding a bow count as being armed with one. We imagine that any others are not armed with bows or have stowed them for now. This rule allows Rohan players to field an all-mounted company and still adhere to the 33% limit imposed on bow-armed models.
