FS 2/7/01

Hello everyone...
      Updated (2/7/01)

20/6 We have updated www.MiddleEarthGames.com - check it out if get a spare
moment.

25/6 Player report: Game 1650/302 ended with the ONE RING thrown into the
pit by Cirdan. The Easterlings and Corsairs went DS and Harad and the Duns
went Free. The west and the Mirkwood were secured early However, the
Corsairs and QA virtually over ran South Gondor in its entirety and the LR
secured a grip on the Sea of Rhun. The Noldo and Cardolan recovered South
Gondor, with the help of a new SG player, and smashed the Corsairs and QA.
Free armies contained the DS in Mordor and made inroads on the NW and west
passes. After two years of play, the BS found the ONE RING and took it to
MT Doom. When we last stopped counting there were almost 70 characters on
site for "the Metallica concert". When the dust settled Elrond had killed
the RING bearer and Cirdan had the RING. First place to Brian Hansen
(Woodmen), second place to John Barret (Duns) and third to Ed Mills
(Arthedain).

20/6 Player report: With the ending of 2950 g28 (the ds conceded pn t21
after the last neutral turned free), I would like to thank the following

a) the free side (especially those who were playing their first middle
earth game, and those who helped them out).
b) the DS side (the rangers were laughing when we threatened away Mt Gram,
but Mordor was tough). For 10,000 timber a pop, you would think the bridge
would have eventually stayed up.
c) Yahoo (they helped up swap turnsheets and emails).

Noldor/South Gondor/Khand were the top three. But we didn't lose a single
free, so that's pretty good. thanks din

p.s. I really think leaving Mt Gram alone was a bad idea.

I have drop-out positions available - don't forget you get a free turn
