UPDATED RULES FOR PLAYING
EXPERIENCE-BASED CAMPAIGNS IN MIDDLE-EARTH
WARG RIDER BATTLE COMPANY
Exactly
how close a relative Wargs are to wolves is mystery to most, but it is beyond
doubt that Wargs are very deadly and never more so when ridden by the twisted
and vile Orcs. In the War of The Ring, both Isengard and Mordor dispatched
packs of Warg Riders with the specific intention of harassing the people of
Gondor, Rohan, and others. Fast-moving and brutal, the Warg Riders are ideal
hit-and-run troops, and many villages and farmsteads have fallen to their fury.
Whether a company of Mordor or Isengard, the mission that they have is one
and the same: range ahead of the main army, sow discord, and gather intelligence
on enemy troop movements. Many critical locations have fallen under possession
of Isengard and Mordor thanks to the swiftness of their Warg Rider companies.
Warg Rider Company Special Rule. Due to the difficulties of supplying reinforcements and equipment to a Warg Rider company, it costs 4 Influence points to roll on the influence table.
Wild Wargs. Any Wild Wargs that join the company as reinforcements can be promoted or become Heroes as normal. Any Wild Wargs that become Heroes cannot be given riders, and only other Wild Wargs can benefit from their Stand Fast! rule. Also, Wild Wargs cannot choose from the Shooting special rules (obviously). Wild Wargs can, however, receive two increases to their Strength instead of one.
