I would like to announce two things about LDTTW: 1.) I have now become one of the Development Team. 2.) James and myself yesterday, along with the nod from Locky, have devised a new system for LDTTW. ![]() This image shows the new grid format we've devised. Each grid represents one inch, or 2.5cm. The smallest dots represent foot warriors, Uruk-hai for example. The slightly larger ones represent Cavalry, like Riders of Rohan. And the largest represent large-based models, like Trolls or monstrous mounts. James and myself will play-test this in a small scenario extremely soon. |

Also - shouldn't the grid system be with squares?? I mean - it'd be more correct. And can you have more than one "infantry dot" in one "square"! And can't we have some names for the dots? Like - Infantry Cavalry Trolls and Monstrous mounts Mumakil |

Ok I will do my best, the dots are infantry units, infantry units have a base size of 1 inch as we all know, one cell = 1 inch so 2 dots CANNOT be in 1 cell at a time. If 2 infantry units are in combat place them on the gridline in between the the cells which they stand (if you didnt understand that part I will just say and I will do an example). The bigger circle is a cavalry/cave troll base the biggest is a Mordor Troll/Fellbeast base. The dots and bases will be coloured suitably when you are in a battle, those colours on the example map are not mandatory. Erm tell me if there is anything else you want to know I will be more than happy to answer. |

It wouldn't make a diffrence to gameplay, just the size of the board. |

I don't think Alex mentioned that the coloured grids represent terrain: Dark green = tree light green = hedge/bush Dark grey = Impassable terrain light grey = Rough terrain/wall |
