I've also posted this at the ME:TW Forums, but having a miniature-wargaming history I always enjoyed battle reports. I am not really good this, but hopefully it will spark some of the more creative minds in here

Attackers:
Korma [Rohan]
Rumaahinen [Rohan]
Saruman had sent a large force of Uruk-Hai warriors to meet a Rohirrim army. As the Rohan soldiers crossed the top a hill they saw the Isengarders below at the plains.
The Uruks were no fools though and saw the advantage of the Rohan posisition. They taunted Rohirrim in their harsh voices:
We are the fighting Uruk-Hai Come down, you cowards
The Rohan Royal Guard were enraged because of the foul creatures insulting them and galloped down the hill in a flanking manuevre. This was however seen by the Uruk Captain and he commanded the Wargs to meet the Rohirrim, who charged deep into the ranks of the Warg Archers but were stopped by the Riders. Seeing that the Royals were unsupported two other Warg units surrounded the Rohirrim. The riders were efficiently dispatched as the Wargs tore the bellies of the horses open.
In the meantime the other Isengarders sent part of their forces onto a wooded hill with the intention to either surprise or attack the cavalry from an advantageous posittion.
The Rohirrim saw this manuevre however and sent Axemen into the wooded area. The Uruk-Hai were now at a disadvantage as the large pikes were hindering them in the wood while the Axemen slowly thinned the ranks of the Isengarders. The Uruks were loosing badly and routed closely followed by the Rohirrim.
The main battle was between a large force of Uruk-Hai and Rohan infantry. Greatly outnumbered the Rohirrim were enveloped one by one and the whole line collapsed. The Wargs were commanded to hunt down any fleeing troops.
The remaining Rohan forces were now surrounded by the Isengarders, part of which were fresh reserves. Putting a valiant last defence the Rohirrim were given no mercy. A sound defeat for Rohan
To any multi-players:
We are using at the moment a IRC channel called #Kuutiot at the Quakenet server. If you like to play some MP games, go there, although it might be pretty empty. Or you can use our ME:TW Forums to make appointments for a battle.
- Cheers, Duke John
