Theoretical MECCG Scenarios

"When all was ready they assailed and sacked one by one all the strongholds of the Orcs that they could find from Gundabad to the Gladden. Both sides were pitiless, and there was death and cruel deeds by dark and by light." LotR Appendix A-III, Durin's Folk

There are 7 sites with Orc automatic-attacks in the regions of Angmar, Gundabad, Grey Mountain Narrows, High Pass, and Redhorn Gate; add 2 Under-deeps sites with Orc automatic-attacks, and we see the path that our own War of the Dwarves and the Orcs will take: Mount Gundabad, Mount Gram, The Wind Throne, Carn Dum, Goblin-gate, Dimrill Dale, Moria, The Under-leas, and The Under-grottos.

Special Rules

• From their first organization phase onward, all companies are assumed to have the equivalent of AN UNEXPECTED PARTY played on them, and all companies must abide by the restrictions on that card. At least one copy of this card should be available for inspection.
• No Elf characters or Wizards are allowed.
• All 1 or 2 Mind Dwarf characters are considered NON-unique for the purpose of player-versus-player duplication (A player may still have only one FILI in his deck, but both players may have a FILI in play).
• All companies start at BLUE MOUNTAIN DWARF-HOLD, which is considered a Haven for purposes of healing or introducing characters.
• No Nazgul may be included in hazard decks.

Victory Conditions

You automatically win if you are the first to visit all 9 of the sites listed above and at each site successfully play an item worth marshalling points (or, in the case of Dimrill Dale, a MP-value card playable at an Information site).
Otherwise, the game ends after the last player's 7th turn, with all companies then participating in the Dwarf-king's Audience...

• All characters make a final corruption check outside the turn sequence.
• You receive MP for all items, miscellaneous MP cards, and Dwarf factions you still control and for the creatures you eliminated. No other MP sources are considered.
• You receive 2 MP for each of the sites listed above at which you faced and defeated the automatic-attack.
• You receive 1 MP for each of the sites listed above at which you cancelled or failed to defeat the automatic-attack.
• The highest MP total at this point wins the scenario.

For tournament scoring, one rank is achieved for visiting two of the sites listed above and successfully playing items with an MP value at each site.
