Lord of the Rings Stratego

[sracer]

Back when Bakshi's film was released, I took my Stratego boardgame and afixed stickers to the faces of the pieces and made a LOTR-themed Stratego game. (I also made one for Star Wars).

It was great to see that MB recently release an official Star Wars Episode 2-themed Stratego game and gave me the idea to revisit my LOTR set.

For the original set I made, I took those old supermarket price labels, trimmed them to fit the face of the pieces and drew-by-hand each of the pieces.

Now with PaintShop Pro, color inkjet, and sheet of labels, I'm sure that I can create a very professional looking set.

I'd like input from people about their opinions of what characters should appear on which pieces. When I have them completed, I'll make the final .gif/.jpg available for others who are interested in making their own.

Here's what I have so far:

PHP Code:

........Fellowship              Dark Forces
        ----------              -----------
Flag    Ring                    Destruction of the Ring
Bomb    Cave                    Cave
S       Gollum                  Grima Wormtongue
1       Gandalf                 Saruman
2       Elrond                  Balrog
3       Aragorn                 Nazgul (2)
        Boromir
4       Theoden                 Nazgul (3)
        Faramir
        Legolas
5       Gimli                   Nazgul (4)
        Rider of Rohan (3)
6       Merry                   Shelob
        Pippin                  Uruk-Hai (3)
        Frodo
        Sam        
7       Elf (4)                 Wolf Riders (4)
8       Darf (5)                Troll (5)
9       Men of Gondor (8)       Orcs (8) 


(edit) I updated the Bomb pieces to be Caves. It kinda makes sense considering that I've assigned "8" (miners, in the original game) to Dwarves and Trolls. This way, any other piece would be "lost in the cave", but Dwarves and Trolls could "map the route" thereby removing the piece from play, which is consistent with the original Stratego rules.

(additional edit) Removed ents.
