The three hunters of each Fellowship have endured the attack at Amon Hen losing members to the fury of the Uruk-hai, pursued the escaping scouts to save their friends and assisted the King of Rohan on the road to Helm's Deep. Now, he must ask yet more of them, as an Uruk army of 10,000 approaches, Rohan will need every fighter they can get.

Scenario 11- The Deeping Wall is Breached
Participants- Bard, Arathorn, Dwalin, Haldir, 12x Galadhrim warriors and 12x Rohirrim warriors
Evil- 3x Uruk-hai Captains, 8x Berserkers and 20x Uruk-hai Warriors
Gandalf has sent an uruk army to Helm’s Deep out of jealousy
over Saruman being chosen for the quest. The Uruk army assaults the walls and
the good forces are holding well. Until they spot, too late, the evil Gandalf’s
true plan! An eruption of fire blows apart the Deeping Wall.
Dwalin recovers quickly and leaps into the breach, quickly
followed by Arathorn, who jumps onto an Uruk shield and rides it down the
stairs, killing 3 Uruk pikes with his bow, kicking the shield into a fourth and
then sweeping the head off a 5th at the bottom.
Bard joins the fight closely followed by the elves and
pushes back an Uruk captain and joining Dwalin in the breach. The captain is
attacked by multiple enemies and kills a Rohan warrior and elf. Arathorn and
Haldir kill off the Uruks that are behind.
Some Uruks arrive on the walls and start killing the Rohirrim archers and spears. The Captain in the water is finally brought down as he is surrounded by elves. Another captain rushes down the stairs and shoves Arathorn off his feet, causing a wound. But, he quickly gets back up and plunges his sword into the captain as Dwalin cleaves the third. A wave of Uruks jump from the stairs into the courtyard and overwhelm it, but the heroes are ok and they haven’t quite killed enough to gain an advantage. But too many for good to continue to hold. (4-2 VPs) Haldir survives.

Evil- 3x Uruk-hai Captains and 20x Uruk-hai Warriors
The forces of good fall back to the Keep and there, the
three hunters talk Theoden into one final charge. Dwalin goes to sound the horn
as the others mount their horses and charge through the doors. As they rush off
the causeway, Bard fires his bow and kills an Uruk shield, they then hit the
Uruk-hai full tilt. The Uruk frontline is shredded and Theoden kills a captain,
but a Royal Guard is slain.
Bard has his horse killed, but good get another heroic move, stopping him being piled. Theoden kills a second captain as Bard stabs the last. Arathorn rides over and cuts down the final uruk.

Scenario 13- Eomer's Return
Participants- Saruman, Eomer, Erkenbrand and 24x Riders of Rohan
Evil- 3x Uruk-hai Captains and 30x Uruk-hai Warriors
The defenders look up the hill and see a blinding white
figure, Saruman in his whiter than white robes has arrived with Eomer and
Erkenbrand. Eomer calls ‘To the King’ and they charge down the hill. The
sunrise times perfectly to blind the Uruks as they charge, though Saruman
fluffs his first spell on snake eyes, a captain is wounded and two uruks are
killed by throwing spears.
All good heroes call heroic combats, Erkenbrand fails to
kill both his opponents but Eomer kills several as does Saruman. Eomer then
kills a captain. The Uruks respond by winning the heroic move off and kill
several riders as well as dismounting the whitest wizard. They then cause a
wound on him too and he takes a second from the fall off his horse.
The riders charge again and kill the other two captains, shattering the Uruk army and causing a mass rout. Helm’s Deep is saved.

Scenario 11- The Deeping Wall is Breached
Participants- Theodred, Haldir, Dain, Galadhrim Captain, 12x Galadhrim warriors and 12x Rohirrim warriors
Evil- 3x Uruk-hai Captains, 8x Berserkers and 20x Uruk-hai Warriors
Gandalf’s army of uruk-hai arrives at Helm’s Deep, but not
before Haldir’s people have sent Orophin with reinforcements. The uruks launch
their assault on the walls, but the defenders hold. That is until Gandalf’s
secret weapon, a detonation charge is used in the culvert. The defenders
recover from the explosion, just in time to see uruks pouring into the breach.
Dain throws himself at the invaders and quickly hammers two
dead. The Rohirrim on the walls recover and throw their spears and fire their
bows, killing the pikes assisting against Dain. Theodred hits the uruks next
and attacks the captain, causing a single wound with his elven dagger while
Haldir kills a berserker coming up the stairs.
Dain continues to much through uruks in the breach, killing
three berserkers at once, as Theodred, now joined by elves, attacks the captain
again. An elf spear manages to slay it. Haldir jumps onto an uruk shield and
slides down the stairs, firing his bow but failing to kill and reaches the
fighting in time to assist with heroic moves. Dain hammers another captain to
death in the water.
Orophin rushes down the stairs hacking down uruks as he
goes. Disaster strikes however as Haldir is unexpectedly knocked down into the
water by uruks. Followed by, Orophin losing a fight and being forced to spend
both might and his fate to survive. Good is suddenly mightless and gaps are
appearing in their defences.
Dain is not relenting despite the odds and kills another three uruks at once. Theodred duels with the third captain and lands a wound with the elven dagger but fate saves the captain before it kills him outright. Despite the surge of uruks that push forward with priority in the last turn, good manages to hold the courtyard with good numbers (6-1VPs). They hear the King calling for them to pull back however as the walls are now being overwhelmed.

Scenario 12- Ride Out
Participants- Theodred, Haldir, Theoden, Gamling and 4x Rohan Royal Guard
Evil- 3x Uruk-hai Captains and 20x Uruk-hai Warriors
The Uruk-hai brace for the incoming charge as Theoden leads
the charge down the causeway. Haldir looses a couple of shots and kills a
shield. He fires again, killing a pike as the charge hits the Uruk frontline.
Theoden and Theodred call heroic combats. First, the King kills both and moves
on to a captain, he loses but takes no wounds. Theodred kills both of his
opponents and charges another captain, killing it. Two Royal Guard are slain.
The next turn, both sides call heroic moves and the Uruks
take it. Theodred is surrounded, Haldir and another Royal Guard charge to
assist him. Theoden calls a heroic combat and Gamling calls a heroic defence.
Theoden loses again but manages to use his fate to save Snowmane. Gamling loses
his horse. Theodred is outmatched and trapped, he is pulled from his horse and
beaten on the floor while Haldir loses his horse.
The next turn, evil wins another heroic move off and Gamling
is quickly laid low. Haldir survives on his fate. The turn after good is out of
might and evil rushes them all again. Haldir loses his third of his three
fights but doesn’t take a wound. Theoden is defeated along with his last two
Royal Guard. Haldir now hopelessly surrounded by just under half of the
Uruk-hai once again rolls a three highest and is quickly knocked to the floor,
Haldir lashes out as he goes down, slaying an Uruk.
Just as the charge looks like it’s about to be snuffed out with the deaths of all the heroes, a white figure at the top of the hill draws everyone’s attention…

Scenario 13- Eomer's Return
Participants- Saruman, Eomer, Erkenbrand and 24x Riders of Rohan
Evil- 3x Uruk-hai Captains and 30x Uruk-hai Warriors
Eomer rides up beside Saruman and sees Theoden’s desperate
charge falling apart at the bottom of the causeway. With a cry of ‘TO THE
KING!’ he, his riders and the white wizard charge downhill at the Uruk hordes.
Saruman blasts a captain into a pike, knocking them both over and charging the
next turn, having another blast resisted by another captain. The Sun rises
behind them and blinds the Uruk-hai. In the confusion both Eomer and Erkenbrand
slay a captain each, while Saruman fails to wound his own.
The Rohirrim get another charge and Saruman blasts a pike into another, killing one. The Uruks form up this time and many horses are killed along with a rider. Saruman is among the dismounted. As the Uruk-hai prepare to overwhelm the Rohirrim, a second wave of riders piles in. The evil army takes massive casualties as Erkenbrand leads the charge and kills several pikes. Eomer gallops over to Saruman and beheads the third captain, leaving the Uruks leaderless. Saruman finds his combat ability and manages to cut down two Uruks at once. The now shattered invading army breaks and flees the field before the relief force. Helm’s Deep is saved.

Scenario 11- The Deeping Wall is Breached
Participants- Boromir, Faramir, Irolas, Haldir, 12x Galadhrim warriors and 12x Rohirrim warriors
Evil- 3x Uruk-hai Captains, 8x Berserkers and 20x Uruk-hai Warriors
The defending elves and Gondorians hold the Deeping wall
well under the experienced command of Boromir, until a loud explosion blows a
gaping hole in the wall. Irolas, who escaped the blast, sees hordes of Uruk-hai
pouring in towards the stunned Boromir, who is just getting his feet. The Guard
of the Citadel leaps into battle.
Irolas quickly loses the heroic move off and is enveloped by
the Uruks. What they didn’t see coming was Faramir skating down the stairs
firing his bow rapidly, taking out three pikes on Irolas and kicking the shield
that he rode into a fourth. Unfortunately, eight more uruks pour in and Haldir shoots
one. Irolas calls a heroic defence, then wins the fight. But another eight
arrive and suddenly the breach is flooded with Uruks. Haldir and the Rohan
throwing spears manage to kill a few more but Faramir is charged and
outnumbered by a captain and five uruks but wins and kills two. Boromir reaches
the fight and takes a wound.
As the Uruk-hai push their way out of the water and into the
rushing elves, a familiar face appears in the breach…Lurtz, weakened from the
wounds Hurin gave him (Captain), he has still come to lead the siege. Faramir
is beaten down at the base of the stairs by another captain. Lurtz sees the
opportunity and orders a full-on charge at the defenders. While a berserker
wounds Haldir, Lurtz takes an arrow from one of the defending Rohirrim upon the
walls. Boromir manages to slay one of the captains.
Haldir, weakened from the wound he sustained, retreats up
the stairs to the walls and pushes an Uruk from them as Good’s right flank is
destroyed and Uruks pour out of the pool into the courtyard. Lurtz rushes
Irolas and lands a wound upon him. Theoden’s voice can be heard calling for
Boromir to get his men out of there, as while they have kept their numbers up,
the courtyard is overrun and Faramir is being dragged away from the fight. They
held as long as they needed to (4-3 VPs) but Haldir is lost in the retreat.

Boromir manages to convince Theoden to perform one last
charge into the enemy on horseback. The King leads the small retinue out and
down the causeway. The Uruks form a pike wall before them.
Theoden kills two instantly as the Gondorian brothers rush the leaders. Faramir kills a captain while Boromir cuts down another and finally brings about the end of the dreaded Lurtz, avenging Hurin, by cutting him down mid gallop. With their leaders gone the rest of the Uruks quickly fold before the fury of the combined might of Gondor and Rohan.

Gandalf casts terrifying aura and they charge downhill. The Sun rises just as they charge. Several riders and Uruks are killed and a captain is heavily wounded by Erkenbrand while Eomer slays another and Gandalf wounds the last. The Rohirrim continue their momentum and Erkenbrand slays the second captain while Eomer finishes the last. Gandalf cuts down two then blasts a shield.
