Battle of Greenfields

Hobbits really are not warlike.

Their last battle with significant hobbit presence was the Battle of Greenfields, uh, in the Shire reckoning 1147," so the Third Age 2747, "in which the aforementioned Bandobras Bullroarer took, routed an invasion of orcs." Uh, it mentions, uh, mathom houses.

Uh, of course, refer to our first mathoms episode to understand what mathoms actually means.

Um, but, uh, you know, it says that, uh, ma- like, uh, oftentimes their weapons were kept in mathoms houses, uh, as decorations.

This was an only poetical exaggeration applied to any hobbit, even to Old Took's great-grand-uncle Burrur, who was so huge for a hobbit that he could ride a horse.

He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Graham in the Battle of the Greenfields and knocked their king Golfimbul's head clean off with a wooden club.

It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of golf was invented at the same moment." What are we supposed to do with that, Tolkien? Why did you decide? First off, you've stolen valor from the Scots.

But, like, this is where you go, this is a children's story.

We got Goblin Town.

So both Battle of Green Fields, which is making its debut appearance, uh, in a Smeagol event with 121 models being brought by our own Eric Adams from Florida to the pit.

Yes, you heard it right, 121 models.

I-

Yeah.

The horde lists are pretty much always the same, right? You just gotta overwhelm your enemy.

So that's what they'll try to do, and, and I do think Gr- Battle of Green Fields does a better job at it, but still pretty scary, both of them.

At the very least, the Goblin Town one is gonna be really fun to play against 'cause both players are gonna be killing stuff.
