Which of these games have you played?

Only a handful of recent, popular ones. I wouldn't mind owning the ICE roleplay stuff - just to look at.

I still maintain that GWs War of the Ring is the best mass battle game that they have ever produced. No exaggeration. It has a few flaws that are revealed after intense play time, but comparing it to 40k, whfb or even some of the better mass battle games produced by other companies, its a brilliant system.

The major drawback is the cost it will incur to those who wish to play it. GWs lotr line has historically given you the best bang for your buck from that company, and now the cost is so prohibitive to make War of the Ring unfeasible by all but the richest and most hardcore of lotr fans.

Such. A. Good. Game.

When I would go to the mall I would always stare and drool at all the painted ones in the glass window. Maybe if the weird employees wouldn't have bothered the shit out of me I might have bought some. Even when I would preprare my iron mask of "don't fucking talk to me" mode it wouldn't matter.
