How Does It Work?
You begin by purchasing a 'start-up' in a game, set in one of the periods of Middle-earth available (these periods are also known as modules). We recommend that new players try the Battle of the Five Armies module, set during the time of The Hobbit™.
We will then assign you a nation to play, based on any preferences you have given us, and send you your first turn report, which gives details of your position. This report can be received either by post or by email, in a variety of formats.
You then read your report, speak with your allies, and decide what you want to do next. Then, using the free computer software available, you write your orders (what you want the different forces, characters and armies in your position to do), and send the file that the software creates back to us.
On the day your turn is due to be processed (turns are processed at regular intervals, usually once a fortnight), we take your orders, together with those of all the other players, and feed them into our computers. They are then processed, and the results of these orders sent back out to you, starting the process all over again.
