Helm's Deep Campaign (LOTR, Download Available)

It's done. You only need 1 ROTV, 1 FOTA, & 1 RTTFF to play it. It you have 4 sets of each, you will be able to build the entire board.

Helm's Deep Campaign

For Heroscape, By Peteparkerh

Introduction

From J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the fortress of Aglarond sits in the large valley of Helm’s Deep. During the War of the Ring, the fortress became the refuge of the Rohirrim, under King Théoden. Saruman’s armies are now attacking the fortress and have even managed to destroy parts of the wall with an explosion. Even so, it has been said that Helm’s deep would never fall while men defended it.

The Campaign

The Heroscape Campaign of Helm’s Deep goes through each of major stages from the Battle of the Hornburg. The campaign is split into rounds that take place during these major stages. The rounds end with reinforcement arriving, if the defending army can last that long. The Rounds are as follows:

Set-Up
The entire campaign has been designed to be played with only 1 Rise of the Valkyrie set (ROTV), 1 Fortress of the Archkyrie set (FOTA), & 1 Road to the Forgotten Forest set (RTTFF). If four sets of each are available, the entire battlefield can be built. If not, each battlefield can be built for the round and then disassembled to build the board for the next round.

It is suggested that Player 2 (the attacking player) chooses all figures from the Utgar and Vydar Heroscape armies. Player 1 (the defending player) chooses all figures from the remaining armies.



Player 1 chooses their army as follows:

• 300 pt army for Helm’s Wall
• 400 pt army for Helm’s Breach (maximum 24 hexes)
• 300 pt army for Helm’s Gate
• 300 pt reinforcement army for Helm’s Breach 2

Player 2 chooses their 1,500 pt army and splits it up as follows:

• Splits 500 pts off for Helm’s Breach (maximum 24 hexes)
• Remainder will begin the campaign at Helm’s Wall (maximum 48 hexes)

I am so pumped for this to begin building, I can't even express it. You can be sure that my feedback will be right here with every update!

Very cool, nice to see someone else is also making LotR maps as well!

If I may suggest, I have already created a map for the breach of the wall, Ironically enough, with the set requirements of 1 RotV, RttFF, and FotA sets each. You can find my map, Breach of the Deeping Wall, in my map thread, under the LotR Maps section.

Very cool. Actually I've already built most of the board. I just don't have it in Vitualscape yet. I just finished the Helm's Gate and Helm's Keep maps tonight. I only have two sets of each, so I can only build half of this at a time. Stay posted, I should load the first map in the next couple of days.

It's been quite a while since I've posted, or even been logged on to visit this sight at all. Sadly, I just didn't have the time nor the energy for HeroScape. But tonight, I couldn't help but to ask myself, "what are the 'Scapers up to now-a-days?" I logged on, and I find this. Just who do you think you are, peteparkerh? Coming up with a fantastic idea like this?! Well congrats to you, good sir. You have (re)peaked my long lost interest, thank you! I'll just wait right here until you're finished... <humming>

This is the second map in the campaign. It uses 1 ROTV, 1 FOTA, & 1 RTTFF. I introduce:

I like it. It's always interesting to see what someon else will do with the same idea and criteria, but completely seperate from you. I really like this.

What I was trying to do with this map was to have multiple ways it could be played. I tried to shift the breach as much as I could to the right and then put an over the hill option on the left.

I'll try to post the next map tonight.

[ProtoFury]

I didnt consider an over-the-hill option on mine, but I rather lik the way yours turned out.

[peteparkerh]

Ok, I couldn't resist. Here are pictures of the whole map (all four sections) as well as the first map.

[Melwing17]

This is fantastic. I'll be trying this out very soon.

[ProtoFury]

That's pretty fantastical. Makes me wish I had two more FotA, and one more RotV.
