Rules
Here, you’ll be taken through the meat of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game – the actual rules that you’ll use to play:
- Basic Principles: a primer on the fundamental concepts and terms used in the book, this section briefly explains a few things that the newcomer may find daunting;
- Turn Sequence: each turn is divided into 5 phases – Priority, which determines who acts first, Movement, which covers moving your models on the tabletop, interacting with Scenery and using control zones, Shoot, which covers ranged attacks, Fight, which covers close combat, and Courage, in which your models are tested to see if they stand their ground or flee in terror;
- Monsters: while their basic rules are typically the same as those for other models in the game, Monster models are particularly powerful – this section covers their special rules, This includes War Beasts, huge creatures ridden into battle, crushing the foe as they march on;
- Weapons & Wargear: into 4 subsections – close combat, missile, equipment and armour – this section explains the variety of weapons and wargear available to your models, and the impact your choices will have on your tactical decisions;
- Magical Powers: certain models have the ability to cast magical powers, and this section explains targeting, casting and resisting those powers during the Move phase, with a list of every Magical Power available to cast;
- Special Rules: this section collects together all the passive and active Special Rules which can appear on model profiles, compiled for easy reference;
- Advanced Rules: found in certain Scenarios, these rules – covering water features, sentries, passengers and carrying objects – come in handy when recreating scenes from the history of Middle-earth;
- Siege Engines: rules for fielding these immense and obvious threats, covering their movement, firing, upgrades and crew (and their ability to launch severed heads as ammunition…);

10/10!

Works great and makes my skin soft. Smells amazing. Not greasy. Full of moisture. Great consistency, usually don’t like whipped but this is great. Makes my skin smooth and glow. Great for feet too, very versatile.

BEST WHOLE BODY MOISTURIZER HANDS DOWN
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the best shea butter, whipped whole body moisturizer on the planet in my opinion. It is so thick, rich and creamy and melts into your skin. Your skin drinks this stuff in. You don't even need to rub it in but I do. It's ian incredibly thick creaminess but not like Vaseline products, it's NOT GREASY!!
It's lightly scented yet doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin. My skin gets so dry and tight that it hurts when I move. Particularly when laying in bed right after my hot bath. I use this moisturizer and my skin feels immediate relief.
Keeps my skin soft, smooth and radiant Absolutely LOVE LOVE Nivea!!

Soft, smooth glowing 61 year old skin!!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the Nivea brand and this product is excellent. It makes my 61 year old skin smooth, soft and glowy. Absorbs fast and is very moisturizing. Giant tub for the money

high fragrance
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This isn't my favorite Nivea product. If you're looking for the same consistency as the blue tub, this isn't it. The fragrance is a bit strong for me, but it does moisturize well and does not leave you feeling heavy or greasy. I will keep using it until it is gone but not repurchase.
