What new things should we put in this TLOTR project? New Weapons? (Siege Engines?) New Profiles? (Siege Specific Units?) Scenarios? (Scenarios not covered by GW?) Rules? (?) Post your ideas here as well as what you could do for the project (Terrain making? Converting? Painting? Playtesting?) here. Hopefully this project can start soon! Ideas Thus Far- Siege Engine - Onager
- Trench Warfare Rules
- Flaming Arrow Rules
- Army/Layout Restrictions
- Siege Assets (Fortress Upgrades?)
- ?Squad Based Combat?
- Sieges (Erebor, HD, MT)
- Sieges (Evil Defending?)
- Individual Unit Upgrades
- New Siege Unit Rules (Scatter Die?)

I'd like to see new Siege Engines-onagers, Alexandrian catapults, etcetera. For some new Rules-trench warfare, flaming arrows, etcetera. All I've got, lol, -mike

i think new siege engines would be a good sight to see (with their rules obviously) and also some siege units perhaps yes

Would you want terrain...things? Like building a generic fortress, or something? I could help with that, otherwise I'm pretty useless.

Some ideas to throw into the fray: -Emphasis on Sieges being MASSIVE games-I'm thinking at least 2000pts+ here -Army Layout/organisation restrictions? -Siege Assets-inspired by the 40k Cities of Death/Apocalypse rules? And of course -New siege weaponry -New terrain guides -Scenarios of famous sieges And lots of other shiny stuff!!! Just stuff that comes off the top of my head, feel free to comment.

I'm going with champ on this. We've already got a game to play small battles and serverely scaled down sieges. What we need is big! 2000pts sounds like an amazing game. I think we'll need to see how long a game of that size will take and then scale it down/up from there. Perhaps this is where VoTR could come in handy (for those of us with not so many miniatures). The Siege asset idea could be very interesting (burn away some of those unneeded points ) and perhaps the trench warfare idea could be used as one of the them. The Scenarios could easily be the three main sieges of the War of The Ring, Minas Tirith, Helms Deep and Erebor but that means good is always defender and Evil is always attcker. Anybody with a better memory remember a siege in which the roles are reversed? Would give abit of variety to the supplement. Oh and as for terrain we could have, generic fortress, postern (something diffrent) and perhaps even a simple d**e (so those with less time or expertise can still join in Also we'll obviously need somebody to make the siege equipment. Also, what about a name? I think Middle Earth : Under Siege is fine but what do you guys think? Just my little bit. This is starting to be fun already

The seige of Umbar by Aragorn prior to the Lord of the Ring? All I can think of ATM.

Defending side gets a fortress and either uses Strategic Assets or points to get upgrades for it?
The aggressors will obviously get damaging tools and seige weapons.

GoblinHorde- it wasn't really a siege, Aragorn (as Thorongil) and some soldiers snuck in at night and burned ships, etc. -mike

What about the Siege of Barad-dur at the end of the Second Age (not to mention various events in the First Age that are probably best avoided until a First Age supplement is produced)?
