The scenario is played on a board 48"/112cm by 48"/112cm.
The Harnen is a river roughly 6"114cm wide and flows from
the centre of one board edge to the centre of the board edge
opposite (see map). The Harnen counts as difficult ground.
The rest of the board is covered with occasional trees and
rocky outcrops.

Rather than re-enacting the conflict along the river

scenario that uses alternative forces and/or occurs in a
different location. 1f you want to play this game with
other forces, use two forces of roughly equal value.
Each side must include at least one Hero. No more

LAYOUT
This scenario is played on a board 48"1112cm by 48"/l12cm.
Set in the bleak plains of Harad, the board should be covered
with sand dunes and rocky outcrops.

STARTING POSITIONS
The Múmak is deployed in the centre of the board. The Evil
player may then deploy his remaining warriors on it, or within
6"114cm of it. When this has been done, the Good player
deploys his forces anywhere on the board, provided that no
model is placed more than 6"114cm away from a board edge.

OB]ECTIVES
The game ends when the Mümak is killed or the Good force
is wiped out or retreats off the board.
The Good player wins if he has achieved the following
objectives:
• The Múmak has been slain or leaves the table
• Imrahil is still alive and on the table
The Evil player wins if the Good force is wiped out before the
Mümak is slain. lf both lmrahil and the Múmak are slain, or

LAYOUT
This scenario is played on a board 48"/112cm by 48"/1 12cm.
Set in the camp of the Haradrim army, the board should have
tents scattered all over the board. A campfire should be placed
in the very centre, with a watchtower within 6"/14cm of it.

STARTING POSITIONS
The Evil player deploys Vâshnir and Drôzhna in base contact
with the campfire. The Good player then deploys Suladân and
Múrakir up to 3"/8cm fram any board edge. Then, starting
with the Evil player, each player takes it in tum to place one
of the remaining Good models. They can be placed anywhere
on the board, but no closer to the table edge than 12"128cm.
The Múmak may be deployed at any point and up to ten
models may be deployed on the howdah as normal.

OB)ECTIVES
Whichever side reduces the other to 25% or less of their
starting numbers first, wins the game. If both sides are
reduced to 25% of their starting numbers in the same tum, the

LAYOUT
Set up a 48"/112cm x 48"1l12cm board, with a road running
between two opposite edges. Place lots of shrubbery, trees and
rocky outcrops on the board to either side of the road. The
more scenery you can place across the board, the more
atmospheric the game will feel, and the greater the challenge
for both sides.

STARTING POSITIONS
AlI Evil models enter play in 'waves'. These waves represent
the column gradually separating throughout the day's marcho
On the first turn, the Evil side moves the Haradrim Chieftain
on foot, along with the 12 Haradrim Warriors armed with
bows and the 12 with spears, onto the board along the road.
The Heroes and all Rangers may be deployed anywhere on
the table, but ali models must be in cover - either in or hidden
behind a wood or some rocks. This represents the Rangers
lying low and waiting for the Haradrim to arrive. The Hobbits
should be placed within 12"/28cm of the edge by which the
Haradrim enter play.

OB]ECTIVES
The Evil player must move 33% of his models off the board
edge opposite to their starting edge. Models leaving the table
by any other edge count as slain.
The Good side wins if they can prevent 33% of the total

STARTING POSITIONS

STARTING POSITIONS
The Good player places his models first, no further than

Both Théoden and Suladân are determined to see the other
