Battle Games in Middle-earth (BGiME) was a fortnightly magazine published by De Agostini in conjunction with British games manufacturer Games Workshop. Unlike White Dwarf, which generally features content regarding Games Workshop's flagship Warhammer brands, BGiME was entirely dedicated to The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game.
According to the magazine itself, as well as it was sold in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Malta and South Africa.[1] It also became available, through their sponsors, in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Greece and Poland.[1] The magazine became more popular than the publishers had anticipated, and the deadline was extended several times.[1] Having completed the series of magazines relating to the films, it then went on to explore the rest of The Lord of the Rings universe, includes miniatures that were featured in The Lord of the Rings book but not the films. The last issue was Pack 91, featuring Sharkey from the Scouring of the Shire.[1]
