Middle Earth SBG - Battle of Osgiliath

Before the dreaded armies of Mordor can besiege Minas Tirith, they must first seize and control the port city of Osgiliath. This strategic conquest would grant them access to vital supplies and enable the movement of vast legions. Meanwhile, the steward of Gondor, ensconced in relative comfort on his throne, dispatches his second son, Faramir, and Gondor's most valiant warriors to defend Osgiliath against overwhelming odds. Will they hold fast against the relentless forces of Evil, or succumb to their inexorable advance?

The Battle of Osgiliath serves as your entry point into the world of collecting, painting, and gaming in Middle-earth. Take charge in this epic conflict, leading either the defenders of Gondor as they fight to safeguard their homeland, or the legions of Mordor intent on crushing the free peoples forever. This boxed set includes 54 meticulously crafted models divided into two evenly matched armies - one representing Good, the other Evil - along with all the necessary rules for playing the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, plus accessories and dice. It's a complete gaming experience in a single box!
