I have been look to play through the narrative scenarios in the battle companies supplement for Middle-Earth SBG. The only problem is that none of my friends are really into wargaming – prefering board games and DnD. So this has lead me to figure out (more like find) some solo rules for the game.
I found Isuldur’s Bane and read through it. It seems quiet interesting but maybe better suited for matched play or some of the higher miniature count scenarios. Finally, I found Battlin’ Barrows Gaming’s youtube video and he had some simple rules for narrative battle companies. This was exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, the link in the comments to a PDF of the rules is dead.
Not letting that stop me, I transcribed his rules from the beginning of the video and made them into a presentable PDF. I added some stuff about heroes, cavalry and monsters. I’m yet to play with the rules but the Youtube video game play did prove promising.
Nice job on the pdf. Hope you get to try my Isildur´s Bane hack though. It´s really good for bigger battles. Been playing it for the past 11 years!

I will most likely try it. I plan to play some of the Quest of the Ring Bearer scenarios using it.
