Ring of Power - GAJO Main Page

Mumakil –
Mumakil are huge beasts from Harad, sometimes referred
to as oliphants. Their fight value includes the value of their
crew, who may not dismount. If a mumakil figure fails a
defense roll, roll 1d6. On a 3-6 the mumakil model is
removed as a casualty, on a 1-2 it stampedes. A
stampeding mumakil inflicts 1d6 additional hits on its own
side, and is then removed as a casualty. The stampede hits
are allocated by the controlling player after all other hits are
resolved, and may be saved by rolling defense of figures
that are hit.
Ork Drummer & Taskmaster –
Orcs are not by nature highly motivated except when
closely supervised. A force containing an orc taskmaster
may re-roll up to 3 missed orc attacks, while one containing
an orc drummer may add 1‖ to its movement every other
turn.
Ringwraiths (Nazgul) –
The ringwraiths are powerful characters completely under
Sauron’s will. They start the game mounted on horses.
The ringwraith figures all start under the control of the
designated minion. If the minion is a ringwraith, their
lieutenant will handle their forces if they become dispersed.
Ringwraiths in Combat – ringwraiths are ethereal. An
ethereal figure that is dispersed reappears at its home
base, or Barad Dur, 4 turns after it is dispersed. Exception:
ethereal figures will be slain if lost in combat to a force
containing a character wielding a magic weapon.
Ruffians –
Saruman made use of ruffians and ne’er do wells to scout
and harass travelers west of the Misty Mountains. It was
with such a force that he invaded and briefly controlled the
Shire. They acted very much as bullies, and as such will
never initiate combat with a larger force.
Ruffians may be encountered by the Fellowship as a
random encounter. In addition, once per game if Saruman
is reduced to less than 2 armies, he may summon 1d6
ruffians.
Shadow Lord (Nazgul) –
The Shadow Lord is one of the ringwraiths, and follows all
of the rules for them with the following exceptions:
• Shadows – he is permanently cloaked in shadows,
providing relief from light to those around him. A force he is
part of may count up to 5 figures as being under darkness.
To count his special rule he must be part of the force which
is in combat.
Shamen –
Uruk-hai, Orcs and Goblins are a superstitious lot, and
shaman could influence their behavior. The Goblin King,
Khamul and Saruman may take a shaman instead of a
normal goblin, orc or uruk-hai reinforcement. The shaman
does not fight, but if he is present with a force that loses a
combat by one point, he may use his ―power‖ to turn the
combat into a draw. Remove the shaman immediately after
modifying a combat, or if contacted by any enemy figure if
not part of a larger force. No more than 1 shaman figure of
each type may be in play at any one time.
No more than one dispersed ethereal figure may return in a
given turn; any additional ethereal figures eligible to return
from dispersion do so one turn at a time until all have
returned to play.
Sensing – ringwraiths are drawn to the power of the one
ring. A ringwraith receives a +1 modifier to rolls to spot a
character force that includes the ringbearer.
Fell Beasts –
After turn 15 the Witch King, Khamul and the Mouth of
Sauron may elect to mount themselves or a ringwraith
under their control on a fell beast. The fell beast increases
the movement of the character mounted on it. A ringwraith
on a fell beast causes terror to enemy models within 6‖,
which reduces their combat attack power by 1 (e.g., a man
of Gondor with an attack of ―4 – 6‖ is reduced to only hit on
a ―5 – 6‖). This effect is not cumulative for multiple Fell
Beasts.
