Charge of the Mumaks - Middle Earth SBG Scenario

A pivotal moment during the battle of the Pelennor Fields was after the Rohirrim had broken the Orc army and the Mûmaks of Harad charged into the remaining Rohan forces.  This scenario looks to recreate that moment.

I ran the first version of this game at DundraCon 2019 (pictures of that here).  I'll be running this version (expanded) of the game at KublaCon 2019.

Scenario Map & Special Rules

The map above show the starting positions for each side.  The game is played on a 6 foot by 8 foot table.  Roll for priority normally for the first turn.

Game End:  Game ends at the end of a turn when one (or both) sides have lost models equal to or greater than their break point.

If both sides are broken at the end of a turn, the side that is further past its break point (in number of models) is the loser (e.g. if Rohan breaks at 50 models and has lost 56 models, they are 6 models past their break point --- if Harad breaks at 60 models and has lost 62 models, they are only 2 models past their break point, and the winner).

If both sides are equally past their break point, the battle is a draw.
