[@robertthurman9866]

The first edition expansion looks very interesting.

[@vicsminiatures7949]

Wonderful collection! The figures will look awesome painted. Interesting details between both editions.

[@TheDiomedef16]

Thank you Vic, surprisingly few differences and only minor rule changes in the core set.

[@dnaseb9214]

Thank you for this review, wish all the best

[@TheDiomedef16]

You are most welcome, a lot of people were curious about the differences between each edition.

[@Generalfund]

Its an epic collection!

[@TheDiomedef16]

Cheers General, the painting of the Gondor army is about to commence.

[@135Pandemonium]

Thank you for the great video :)

[@TheDiomedef16]

Thank you very much for those kind words, much appreciated.

[@HeresyProducktionz]

Nice comparison Ian. I still have yet to pull mine out and try a game. Will have to do at some point. So many things to do lol

[@TheDiomedef16]

You will get there one day Palmer, as you rightly say, lots of other things to do.

[@NicGamz]

Impressive that you got the expansions too, hard to get. I played it long time ago and its a great game, I need to to get me the game. Great video , thank you. 👍

[@TheDiomedef16]

Thank you Nic, I was lucky the first edition plus its expansion, was being sold as a job lot for a good price. I was lucky to get them.

[@leostmark]

Thanks, Mate. Great video doing a side by side comparison of the two editions. I have been wondering whether or not to upgrade from first to second edition and this video is the best I've seen on KZbin that does this comparison.

[@TheDiomedef16]

Thank you, I hope it was of some help.

[@rockandmetaljunkie]

Is it possible to play the Battles of the Third Age expansion game simultaneously with the main game of the first edition?

[@BrushQuill]

Thanks for sharing. I looks like the changes were made for good reasons and not just for changes sake.

[@TheDiomedef16]

I agree, those large cards are a huge improvement.

[@bigmull]

The first edition minis are supposed to take paint better than the 2nd edition.I do like the Nazgul from the 1st Edition though.

[@TheDiomedef16]

I had no problem with the paint on 2nd edition minis, though I know some have. The Nazgul from 1st edition is great.

[@Generalfund]

I definitely had an issue with 2nd editon miniature painting. Mine became sticky and soon my pieces were stripping paint. The solution was a very specific clear coat; but even after that they are still tacky. I was told it was the type of plastic they used for the models...

[@leostmark]

The Nazgul certainly look more impressive in the First Edition but are more prone to fall over, which is pretty annoying. However I've found a trick to straighten them up, involving two cups of water, one hot, one cold. Once straightened they no longer fall over.

[@MedievalWargamer]

Interesting comparison bro!Like both maps..for sure bigger cards are better...and i see loads of minis for you to paint but when you do the game will look amazing!!Nice colour shirt by the way...;)

[@TheDiomedef16]

Cobalt Blue apparently lol. Surprisingly few differences between the two. The Gondor army is drying now after a soapy bath.

[@bigmull]

I like the colours of the 1st edition map,but the "topography" of the 2nd edition.
