Yes there is. It is put out by Games Workshop. Head over to Games Workshop (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/landing.jsp?catId=cat210006&rootCatGameStyle=lotr) and you'll see it there. They also showcase it in White Dwarf. I believe there's some old LotR product (see pic below) on the walls near Warmachine in the store.

I have stuff for it but nothing put together. The original rules set looked interesting though. Always thought a Rohan cav force would be interesting. I got other stuff too.

If you ever consider getting into it and demoing I'd be up to learn it. Could be fun to play.

That game died pretty quickly.

I'm such a sucker for collectible games. Must stay away from dead and buried game.

Post by: Jonathan on July 13, 2008, 11:38:53 PM: It is a decent game from what I've seen and I have a fair amount of stuff for it. But, I cannot commit to this. Sorry but maybe others will.
