The Battle of Five Armies

Description
Check out my Hunt for the Ring mod here:

The Battle of Five Armies is a two-players game that allows you to re-create the epic conclusion of The Hobbit, the world-renowned masterpiece by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Based on the acclaimed mechanics first used in the War of the Ring boardgame, The Battle of Five Armies merges action dice and event cards, to make each game a unique experience. The system has been further enhanced by the addition of the “Fate Track” mechanic, handling the arrival of the allies and the triggering of special events.

Game pieces are set up, ready to play, with the exception of the recruitment tokens. I left these off to allow for randomization for each game. Shuffle the bag before drawing them to mix them up. See the initial set up guide for reinforcement token placement. The guide can be placed in the purple bag once you are done with it if you want to clear space on the table.

Hey Pasza, you see how often I get on. I would like that. I will reach out to you.

Hey Bweather, many thanks for great mod!
In order to make the game even more immersive I have added some nice miniatures from Games Workshop. Please let me know if you want to take a look on it and maybe re-upload your version with better looking miniatures.

Regarding the recruitment tokens not being part of the initial setup, I didn't do that because that would have not allowed random enemies for each game.

I replaced the dice trays with one that should work.

Hi, wanted you know that your mod has been added to my collection: Board Game Geek - BGG - May 2020 - Best Mod for each of the Top 500 Rated Games. Collection here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2086043930

The collection used this priority system:

1. Mod's Files Availability: Mod with all/most files still available for download
2. Feature completeness: Mod with greatest inclusion of expansions and/or promos available for the board game title
2. Scripting: Mod with scripting that most reduces work in setup/play for players
3. Component Quality: Mod with the best visuals/usability in terms of component quality
4. Table Setup/Ambiance: Mod with the best immersion with table, background, and other modeling.

Please also note that a mod that makes selection for this list very well could be one in which the mod author borrowed the majority of assets from another workshop listing, so full thanks to all who worked on a mod.

Thanks for your hard work!
