WotR is much, much bigger and is a great deal more fun. I think it's become the core LotR system now, as reported in the News and Rumours forum.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

No. Its like WHFB for LOTR.
LOTR is a skirmish game involving less than 40 models generally per side.
WotR is more of a wargame where you utilize 100-300 models per side.

In WotR, you're manuevering units of models. It's a company-sized wargame.
In LotR, you're maneuvering individual models. It's a skirmish game.
The only thing that connects the two is that you can use the same models. It has some similar rule mechanics, but they're different games. APOC is basic 40k with superheavies and more stuff on the board. WotR and LotR is more like WFB and Mordheim.

It's 28mm Warmaster, basically what Warhammer Fantasy would be except for all the legacy junk.

Interesting, How much does it leech from Warmaster?

My sarcastic, yet accurate answer would be LoTR sucks, WoTR does not.
WoTR's biggest downfall is the cost of starting a new army, but if you had any LoTR figs that you liked, you might be able to use them as the beginnings of a WoTR army.

Never count on rolling to save your ass. More often than not, average in tight situations runs far below average.  |

George Spiggott:
Not the turn sequence, unfortunately, but the concepts of bases of models being the essential unit of the game, freedom of movement (formations composed of companies, like brigades composed of regiments), simple combat mechanics, and fluid play.
