I've been doing some research (badly - I'm tired) and I keep coming back to the idea of a skirmish level battle game that uses the MECCG rules to resolve combat.
I've no idea how one would do that, but it would be insanely awesome - Mithrils and MECCGS!

mhh why not, I did that once...MECCG using a HUGE map of middle earth and figurines as support and representations.
but such games usually take more than 3 hours for a single 'duel'
I visited some sites yesterday and found out that some MECCG cards were quite rare actually, especially the Balrog sets... which has a card that allows you to play Sauron himself. I have this card but I did not know it could be so valuable.
well I think this thread should now be put into discussion in the Chambers of Mandos? for technical aspects

I was thinking some "hack" that would let you run small conflicts with mithrils in some fashion. Must ponder on this one more :p

mmhh what do you mean by "hack"?

Sorry, using gamer speak when I should not.
The card game is set up, mechanically to have a competitive "deck" of forces moving around a map of Middle Earth.
By "hack" I mean some manner in which the "deck" of forces would move around a smaller map. So you could run the Battle of Dale, say, and have forces moving from place to place on a map covering the Long Lake. So each faction's deck of cards controls the big events of the battle, and the dice mechanic from the card game deals with the actual skirmishes (for which you use miniatures).
Anyway, I am just speculating out loud here!

Interesting directions ...hmmm ... must also consider this in more detail. Some modifiers for the dice throws should be given (range, cover, terrain) etc., perhaps also using some other cards reflecting the environment ...

Gildor, I too love MECCG, and this was before I became such a Mithril fanatic. I have them all, and many in multiples. Let me know if you need any special card you are missing.

Oh I miss none of them I just miss doubles of "Morgul Night" to make my "very rare cards" deck with lots of original Nazgul playable.
At the moment I think I only have one or two Morgul Nights and I'd need three but since I have not been playing for years there is no hurry at all in terms of collection I don't think I miss a single card, not even the "one ring" or the "Sauron" card from ME:BA

On my part, I was turned away from actively pursuing Mithrils for a while exactly because METW (or MECCG, nowadays) drained my budget. Now it is time for reconciliation. I am completely cured from card games. Oh, by the way, anyone having som Finnish or Japanese ME cards to spare?

Ok I have moved this topic into the new game forum so that we can split the different topics in several threads...
It would be cool to have well identified topics with prefixes.... [battlegame] [meccg] or [merp] (these are only examples)
