Giving the Fellowship a victory!

This was a lot closer, since Boromir and Gimli chose one side, leaving a thoroughly un-offensive Legolas and Gandalf the fend off a trapdoor with a couple of hobbits. Which didn't turn out well. The turning point was where Aragorn arrived, quite early, allowing a greater number to be removed per turn against the number coming in, so eventually they won out.
Boromir and Gimli barely needed Frodo's assistance in securing the trapdoor but took ages to kill the last goblin, managing to kill ten between them, while Aragorn managed six.

However the Performance of the battle goes to Merry who managed to kill two goblins and held off two for at least four turns, despite being a hobbit.
Legolas managed two kills over the course of the battle and couldn't kill at key points, leaving it to Aragorn and the hobbits, so gets Flop of the battle.

Due to the number number of pictures in this post I shall leave Battle in Balin's tomb for next time, as the Fellowship manage to get to 1-2 in the booklet standings, can they redeem themselves?

Until then
