Fall of Arnor Campaign - Part 2

The Fall of Arnor Campaign is underway. Two turns have been played out so far on the strategic overview map and the first battle is about to commence. Here's what has taken place so far.

Turn 1

Action Dice rolls by each nation for the first turn were the following:
  • Angmar: Muster, Character x2, and Army
  • Arthedain: Event, Muster, Will of the West x2
  • Cardolan: Muster, Muster/Army, and Event
  • Rhudaur: Character, Muster/Army, and Event
Actions taken by each nation:
  • Angmar: used both Character rolls to move a character two regions from Mount Gundabad to Angmar. They used the Muster roll to raise 500 points of forces in the Angmar region. Used the Army roll to combine a total of 1,500 points of forces into an army in the Mount Gram region.
  • Arthedain: the Event roll prevented the Muster roll from taking effect, cancelling it. Both Will of the West rolls were then used to remove 1,000 points of Angmar's forces in the Angmar region.
  • Cardolan: The Event roll prevented one of the Muster rolls from taking place. Due to this, only 500 points of forces were raised and placed in the Cardolan region.
  • Rhudaur: The Event roll prevented the Muster/Army action from taking place, so only a Character could be moved. Rhudaur elected not to move their king, who remains at the nations capital of Carmeth Brin.
Battles: none

Turn 2

Action Dice rolls by each nation for the first turn were the following:
  • Angmar: Army x3, and an Eye result
  • Arthedain: Muster/Army x 2, Muster, and a Character result

  • Rhudaur: Character x 2, and a Muster result
Actions taken by each nation:

Then they moved the 1,500 point army located in the Mount Gram region into the Trollshaws using two of the Army results. The final Army result was used to combine the forces in the Mt Gundabad region into a second force of 1,5000 point army.
  • Arthedain: mustered 1,000 points of forces in the North Downs region and another 500 points in the Weather Hills region.
  • Cardolan: mustered 500 points of forces in the Cardolan region.
