SPECIAL RULES Cowardly. Surrounded, and with the sun shining bright above them, the Orcs are desperate to escape the fury of the Dwarf attack and only their Captains keep them in Onder. To represent this, in a turn following one where an Ore Captain has been killed, every Ore must test its Courage in the same way as if the Evil force had been reduced to below half strength. In subsequent tums, the Ores may move as normal (unless another Captain has been slain), PREF Gorge Seen io 3 ~ Barak Khazdal Dwarven Fury. The Dwarves have come to avenge those slain by the Ores.

Iti easy for the Dwarf player to get lured into a sense of complacency by this, but a word of caution should be issued. The Dwarven Fury rule can prove to be huge disadvantage for the Dwarf player and one that the Evil player should Took to exploit, pulling the Dwarves apart prior to leaping fon the tattered formation and tearing them apart. Another thing the Evil player should take advantage of is the fac that the Dwarves are slower than the Ores, allow. Evil player to pounce on one Dwarven force whi other catches up.

On a roll of 4+, the Good player may deploy Celeborn’s group (all the Good models that were not deployed at the start of the game) that tum. To see where the group arrives, the Good player rolls a further D6 and deploys them anywhere along the indicated table edge (see map) Lothlorien.
