Publication history

''Middle-earth Role Playing Combat Screen'' was written by Chris White, and was published by Iron Crown Enterprises in 1984 as two cardstock screens, and two 11" x 17" sheets.

Reception

Andy Blakeman reviewed ''Middle-earth Role Playing Combat Screen'' for '' Imagine'' magazine, and stated that "one could easily photocopy the tables straight from the rulebook - no new material is presented - for far less than the selling price of the Screen; and ICE could have granted permission for players to do so. As it is, they are selling people something they already have at a price they can hardly afford."

''Jeux & Stratégie'' #46 commented that the screen does not reach the "fantastic" of Tolkien's work, and the illustrations are only of average quality, but that the gamemaster will find all the tables necessary allowing to complete a game without constantly referring to the rulebook, and lamented that that this screen does not contain a scenario which would have given this accessory a plus.
