Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game - Defence of the NorthSauron never turned his gaze completely away from the northern kingdoms even during the close of the Third Age, the forces of Evil closed in on Dale, Erebor, Mirkwood, and Lothlorien. Across the lands of Rhovanion, the forces of Good rallied to defend their homes, their acts of heroism tying up armies Sauron so badly needed as the War of the Ring raged to the south. This expansion for the Middle earth Strategy Battle Game lets you play out campaigns

Sauron never turned his gaze completely away from the northern kingdoms – even during the close of the Third Age, the forces of Evil closed in on Dale, Erebor, Mirkwood, and Lothlorien. Across the lands of Rhovanion, the forces of Good rallied to defend their homes, their acts of heroism tying up armies Sauron so badly needed as the War of the Ring raged to the south.

This expansion for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game™ lets you play out campaigns across three distinct theatres of war – the Battle for Dale, Defence of Mirkwood, and Assault on Lothlorien. These can be played individually, or combined into a grand Defence of the North campaign. The hefty background section gives you plenty of insight into the history of the northern kingdoms, including events that occurred during the War of the Ring, when so much attention was focused elsewhere. You’ll find loads of scenarios to play, fresh ways to build your armies, and meet new heroes and villains. On top of all that, this supplement includes a showcase of miniatures, and an appendix featuring additional content exploring the historical battles of the northern lands.

Inside this 112-page hardback supplement, you'll find:

– History of the North: An overview of the background of Middle-earth’s northern lands, including Sauron’s attack on the area during the War of the Ring.
– Scenarios: 18 narrative play Scenarios, including background, board layouts, objectives, rules, and more.
– Defence of the North Campaign: Rules to link the 18 Scenarios together into one extended campaign, or three individual campaigns that can be played on their own.
– Armies: Background details and rules for eight armies that fought in the Rhovanion, namely the Garrison of Dale, Erebor Reclaimed, Lothlorien, Halls of Thranduil, Beornings, Easterlings, Mordor, and Dark Denizens of Mirkwood. Each section features the units and Army Bonus available to that army list, and tactical insight on the strengths and weaknesses of your force. You’ll also find rules for notable units who fought during these wars.
– Legendary Legions: Rules for six Legions, representing the Army of Dale, Defenders of Erebor, the Bearings, Host of the Dragon Emperor, Fell Beings of Mirkwood, and Assault of Lothlorien. Each provides a restricted army composition that grants an additional suite of rules for the Legion to take advantage of.
– Appendix: Provides additional background and four scenarios for reenacting historical battles across Rhovanion, including the Destruction of Dale, Battle for Dale, the Battle of the Five Armies, and the High Pass.
– Showcase: Get inspired with lavish displays of key miniatures from the Citadel and Forge World ranges.

You will need a copy of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Rules Manual, Armies of the Lord of the Rings, and Armies of the Hobbit to use this expansion.

Great design and easy to put together!
Color: Black - Square
Works very well and this is easily put together! I filled mine with water and it is more than heavy enough to withstand a strong gust of wind. Highly recommended!

Nice base in general
Base seemed nice coming out of the box. Good size, though double check it will work for your needs as my mistake it was just a bit too big. Filled with water, it is a decent base to utilize with an umbrella I feel. Not sure if others' bases had this, too, but mine has some kind of object rolling around the side. No way to get it out. Not sure if when the hole is drilled into the top, it's from that? Also, when filling with water, there were unpleasant fumes coming out. Water mixing with the rubber material on the inside? All that said, for the price, this is a good option to consider for an umbrella base.

Sturdy, Reliable, and Visually Pleasing - A Must-Have Patio Accessory!
I recently purchased the Best Choice Products 55lb Capacity Fillable Umbrella Base Stand for my backyard patio, and I have to say, I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase. This umbrella stand has quickly become a reliable and crucial part of our outdoor setup. To start off, the assembly was straightforward and didn't take up much time. The instructions were clear, easy to understand, and within minutes we were able to get it set up. No additional tools or complex steps were necessary, which was a great relief as I'm not exactly a DIY person. I filled it with sand, which brought it to its maximum capacity of 55lbs, and the stability it provides is exceptional. We've had several windy days since I've purchased the stand, and not once has my patio umbrella tilted or tipped. The 2 adjustment knobs on the sides help to secure the umbrella pole firmly, which provides an additional layer of stability. The stand's faux wicker design is another aspect I absolutely love. It beautifully complements my other patio furniture and adds a touch of sophistication to my outdoor decor. The plastic used for the stand is of high quality and convincingly mimics the look of real wicker without the associated maintenance or weathering concerns. Being a round base, it conveniently fits in our patio corner without taking up too much space. Moreover, it's been outside in various weather conditions - from intense sun to rain showers - and it hasn't shown any signs of wear or color fading. The material seems durable and capable of withstanding different weather patterns, which is exactly what I needed. Also, despite being sturdy and heavy when filled, the base is easy to move around when empty. This makes it convenient to store away during the winter or rearrange when we want to change up our patio layout.
