Have you just picked up the new edition of Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game and are looking to try it out? Are you looking to try one of the many new army lists in the new army books? Are you just looking to roll dice and have fun?

Spring 2025 League:

This will be a 10-game league with all games played at 600 points.

First time player?:

No worries! We have a friendly community that can help you get started! This league is especially designed for a player just starting out. Painted models are not required. Models should be fully assembled. Please contact the campaign administrator to inquire about loaner models.

Details for games:

Games will be played as 1 v 1 with 10 games in total on a 4x4 board.

Each week, by Monday night, pairings and Missions will be announced for players each week. Players will bring their own army list each week, and may change it freely according to army construction rules.

Tuesdays will be the official game night, but players can schedule on other days as needed to make up games. Players should report the results of each game to the campaign administrator.

Match results are due on Sunday at 6 pm; please contact the campaign administrator for exceptions. Missed games may be scored a 0-0 draw if not made up by 2 weeks of the scheduled date, or by the end of the league.

Players must submit their faction before Week 1. If a player would like to switch their faction, they will be able to do so freely until game 4.

Table size will be 48x48 inches, unless otherwise specified by the scenario.

Schedule: Opponents for each week of the event will be arranged by the Campaign Administrator. Communication will be through the Atomic Empire Discord. Be sure to take the Middle Earth role to have access to the relevant channels.
