About the game
There are many armies that fight for the Dark Lord, including several realms of men. Some, like the Easterlings, followed the path of darkness willingly and worship Sauron as a divine being; whereas others were cast out of their homes and fight alongside it him out of revenge - men such as the Haradrim. Amongst these mighty armies of Evil Men lie the Uruk-hai, a different race altogether. Bred in the fire pits beneath the fortress of Isengard, they are stronger, braver and better armoured than any Orc could ever hope to be. With these armies fighting alongside those of Mordor, there is little hope for the Free People of Middle Earth. This 48-page Sourcebook for The Lord of the Rings contains all the rules you'll need to field an army from The Fallen Realms (including the Uruk-hai, Haradrim, Easterlings and the Variags of Khand), as well as detailed background information and scenarios. You must possess a copy of The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game in order to use the contents of this book.
