RANGERS OF THE NORTH_Dunedain Rangers Lord of the Rings: Halbarad Dunadan http://store.usacomicbooks.com/loofrihadu.html Halbarad - Captain of the Dúnedain, Ranger of the North, leads the Grey company in their journey alongside Aragorn through the Paths of the Dead. Kinsman to Aragorn, Halbarad is his standard bearer and a fine warrior of courage and nobility who bears the banner of Arwen Evenstar in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Displaying a White Tree for Gondor, stars wrought of gems and a high crown of gold and mithril that was the sign of Elendil, the banner was a rallying point for the Men of the West during the final stages of the battle .

I just came across this 'Screen Capture Utility', Ive downloaded the 'Free-Version'! [so it may not have full functions].

LORD OF THE NAZGUL_The 'Witch-King' of Angmar: NAZGUL_Also known as the BLACK RIDERS: In J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy Middle-earth universe, the Nazgûl (from Black Speech Nazg (ring) and Gûl (wraith, spirit); Ringwraiths, sometimes written Ring-wraiths), also known as the Nine Riders or Black Riders (or simply the Nine), are evil servants of Sauron. They are first mentioned in his book The Lord of the Rings, first published in 1954-1955. The book refers to the Nazgûl as Sauron's "most terrible servants." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazg%C3%BBl Second Age:_The nine Nazgûl arose as Sauron's most powerful servants in the Second Age of Middle-earth. It is said that three of the Nine were originally "great lords" of Númenor. They were all powerful mortal Men to whom Sauron each gave one of the nine Rings of Power. These proved to be their undoing: Third Age:_They re-emerged around 1300, when the Lord of the Nazgûl, the Witch-king of Angmar, led Sauron's forces against the successor states of Arnor; Rhudaur, Cardolan and Arthedain. He was eventually defeated in battle in 1975 and returned to Mordor, gathering the other Nazgûl in preparation for the return of Sauron to that realm LORD of the NAZGUL_The 'Witch-King of Angmar!. DWARVES http://uk.games-workshop.com/dwarves/ Like the Elves, the Dwarves are an elder race whose days are fading as Men come into prominence. In most other ways, however, the Dwarves are quite dissimilar from Elves. Where Elves are tall and gracefully spoken, Dwarves are short and gruff. Where Elves prefer to dwell in the forests of Middle-earth, the Dwarves carve their halls deep within the roots of the mountains and have holds in Erebor, the Iron Hills and the Ered Luin .

He led a Dwarven contingent to reclaim Khazad-dum, the greatest of all the lost kingdoms of Dwarves. Initially he was sucessful and was crowned Lord of Moria, but later he was ambushed by goblins and slain. Not until the Fellowship discovered his grave would the rest of the world discover what had occurred those long years ago.

It look's like it is very well done!. Superb detail & realism!. Still, i am very partial to Operational/Strategic games,...so on that basis alone,...i regret that i personally would not be interested in this game,...even though it look's like a 'Masterpiece'!.

Perhap's 'Land Convoy Scripts' need to be seriously considered!. Shouldn't...the usability of them become a reality?. Land Convoy's were critical in many instance's during WW2!. The 'Red-Ball-Express' ... was a massive convoy effort to supply the Allied armies moving through Europe. It was the most important factor in the rapid defeat of the German Army. Trucks used in the Red Ball Express ---The above effort is already simulated somewhat in the game already, but, as hinted at in the previous post, from time to time there may be a need for this capability!. Also,...what about the 'Burma Road' ?.

Hello JerseyJohn !,... I just purchased the old movie...'Sink the Bismark' and yes, i can't believe how archaic those British torpedo attack planes were!!!. A BF-109/'s would have had an opportunity for some very-easy kill's!.

ORC CHIEFTAIN http://uk.games-workshop.com/thescouringoftheshire/miniature-gallery/114/ Orcs are the foulest creatures to walk Middle-earth. They are evil-hearted monsters that rejoice in slaughter and destruction. Orcs bear little loyalty even to their own kind and will readily fight amongst themselves over the spoils of their conquests. Inept workmen, their clothing is ill-made and ragged, their armour is crude, and their weapons as well-suited to butchery as to war. Yet they are numerous - untold thousands make up the armies of Saruman and Sauron and their natural cowardice makes them an ideal tool of evil intent.
