Hello everyone...
Updated (24/4/01)
24/4 Okay we have our new version of the DGE Message Board up and running:
www.MiddleEarthGames.com click the button "Click me" and it will take you
to it. You need to create an account to post messages. At present it is
very basic - over the coming weeks we will get it more beautific. (Then
we'll ask for feedback).
24/4 - Game 111 (2590) ends with a win to the DS - with all 5 Neutrals on
their side, the Duns (run by Darren Comeaux), Corsais 2nd (Allan Shampine)
and Eric Burdyshaw (Dk Lieu). No losses to the DS... 
20/4 Report by Player: Game 52 (1650) just finished today, with a win for
the Free People on turn 16. The top 3 nations: Eothraim at 1400 VP,
Haradwaith at 1375 VP, Corsairs at 1367 VP Of the neutrals Rhudaur stayed
neutral the whole game, but managed to take out Cardolan on his own
(Arthedain(me) was busy with the Witch King at the time :). The rest had
joined, or was joining, the Free People.
Most of them complained about a lack of response from the Dark Servants,
and also heard little or nothing from them during the game, which made
recruiting them for the Free People easy.
Not sure how many we took out, but at least the Witch King and Blind
Sorcerer was in the game, the WK being down to 2305 as his MT left, which
was under siege by the Dwarves while waiting for enough forces to capture
it.
So a big thanks to all in this game, and a very big one to Michael Kamine
for his excellent play as Eothraim
24/4 Salute last w/end went well - nice to meet a few of the players there
as well - interesting to be at a proper Wargame convention!
20/4 In about 2wks we hope to be testing out the new Front Sheet program.
