Hey all so we've started a hobbit campaign and at the minute the starting for people playing is 100 points and a captain with no upgrades.
so we're playing it on a map of middle earth the we have put a hexagonal grid on it and using pins to move our army's around gaining points for owning different parts of the map as well as points for killing other models and winning/playing games.

We have a couple of easter egg's going on in the form of Tom, William(bill) and Bert the trolls on a random movement table fighting who ever they get into combat with giving big experience for killing one troll and if you kill all 3 massive rewards.

Other than that we have no other items if note going on other than you on crease your army size by the amount of experience you earn so if you earn 22 in one game your army has grow to be 122 points.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to ideas from you all to make his a thread that other pee can use to start there own campaigns

Sounds good, the Troll idea is a cool one and the progrssion seems simple enough, which is always good.

It's worth mentioning, though, that if you can track it down, there's an issue of the Battle Games In Middle Earth magazine which has a great campaign system like this; it still works on hex maps, but instead of exp it uses resources for building armies, which you get from controlling different territories. For example, you get more from owning Minas Tirith than, say, The Dead Marshes. These mags pop up on ebay fairly regularly, it's issues 56-7, I believe, and you minght find some good ideas in it.

Sounds cool, I've also thought of doing a campaign like this but using the LotR Risk board and rules, but it would take ages! Will eventually do it though...

There is also a campaign in an old WD, don't have it with me atm but should be able to get it and maybe copy it if you want?

I would love to do something like this but have it go across several of the local shops. The logistics are just such a pain to figure out
