The joys of being behind someone else
I think several free wish they
could say the same thing.
At least we are trying.......
I was reading our turn reports and I noticed the curse squad cursed, our
agents knifed people, and our armies generally won, so it was smug looks
all
round. I wasn't expecting the game to be so easy for the DS.
Two of your Agents were captured by our Gondorian Agents. Another got
past a guard when they shouldn't have also. Nice to see my +20,000 profit
going to some use though by keeping you DS solvent <g>
Actually we did. The remaining free are now small armies, so it was a close
thing. Of course your huge navy showing up doesn't impress us. Maybe next
game we will try to remove the SG navy, not the corsair navy. With the
corsairs about to see another m/t burnt down to the ground, i'm thinking
they were not the big nasties I was thinking they were. Even Clint's cat
has
a stronger bite than some of the free in this game.
I told you that I accidentally left troops in Gondor. If you had
destroyed my Navy I would have already built an extra 40 to 50 ships through
the Corsairs by now so taking out the Corsair navy was probably the way to
go. I have a bite it just isn't as easy when you aren't in contact with your
team much.
And thanks for the war-machines that your ex-army supplied to us. Now I can
remove the last port/harbour in north harad. I actually expected your navy
will reinforce the 3K of troops you just lost against me. Seems I was
reading somewhere that the free need to hurt the DS in the first 10 turns,
not just trade pop centre for pop centre. So I was foolishly thinking you
would reinforce the beachhead and try to stike out. As it is, your have
lost
your forces, and i'm retaking my place (the only bad thing is that I have a
village instead of a m/t).
Oh no problem. The Navy will probably get around to reinforcing soon. I
have sooooo many troops and so few boats to transfer them about. Perhaps
however you should be worrying about our Agents waiting for your armies <g>
Maybe playing free is as hard as the articles say ?
m of the smug harad
I have always found DS easier than Free. Although I have only ever seen
played or played the LR or QA.

P.S. I will still be here at turn 52 so we shall get at least one point.
