War of the Ring made its debut at NWA on the day that the rule set was released for sale. Several members had been pre reading copies at Games Workshop stores to get a head start. A number of keen members had painted up many of the movement trays in the few weeks since their release so the rules could be tried out straight away. These photos show what a small version of the new game looked like at Croydon.

Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin returned to the Shire from their adventures with the Fellowship of the Ring. To their surprise they found their beloved home in upheaval. Crawling away after his defeat at Isengard, the bitter Saruman went to the Shire to exact revenge on the Hobbits. With his faithful snivelling companion Wormtongue, Saruman used a gang of Ruffians to enslave the peaceful inhabitants of the Shire. But the return of the Hobbit adventurers stirred up a rebellion, which culminated in the Battle of Bywater. See how this great scenario for Lord of the Rings turned out when played on a Saturday afternoon at Croydon.
