The Battle of Five Armies
Published 1984
One player takes the Free Peoples side (elves, dwarves, men and eagles), the other controls the goblins. If you have played any hex-based wargame, this will appear quite familiar. The board is hex based, each counter represents a troop of warriors or a single leader. Each counter is rated for movement, combat ability and archery ability.
