Opis
Before the dread armies of Mordor can lay siege to Minas Tirith, they must
first take and hold the port city of Osgiliath, allowing them to move massive
amounts of supplies and legions of warriors. While the steward of Gondor’s
throne remains in relative comfort, he sends his second son, Faramir, and many
of Gondor’s most trusted warriors to defend it against all odds. Will they hold
the line, or will the inexorable forces of Evil overwhelm them?
The
Battle for Osgiliath is your gateway to collecting, painting, and gaming in
Middle-earth. Step into this epic battle and take command of the forces of
Gondor as they fight desperately to defend their homeland, or the legions of
Mordor, who seek to destroy the free peoples once and for all. This box contains
54 models split into two balanced armies – one Good, one Evil – and all the
rules you need to play games of Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, plus
accessories and dice. It’s a complete game in a box!
