Hello Everyone...
3/2 The currency change has been done: North American players are now being
charged in US Dollars ($5.80), Australasian players in Australian dollars
(AU$9.90) per turn, and all others in UK pounds (�3.90) per turn.
All balances have been converted to their appropriate currency. For North
American players the balance in �s was multiplied by 1.41 (�1 = US$1.41 as
of Sunday 3rd Feb). For Australasian players your balance was multiplied by
2.774 (�1 = AU$2.774 as of Sunday 3rd Feb). In each case you'll be using
those currencies from now on (we rounded).
Full details of charges below:
New players: S/up R+M �10/ US$16/ Au$ 30
S/up or Rules or Map �5/ US$8/ AU$15
Turn cost: �3.90 / US$5.8 / AU$ 9.90
Low Funds: �1 then 50p/ US$1.50 then 75c / AU$3 then AU$1.50
Phone in or Reprint charge: �2 / US$3 / AU$6
30/1 Two Face to Face events planned: One in the UK one in the US.
UK Game: We're now planning a Cardiff game July26 (Fri) - 28th (Sun) So far
we have 18 (+4 possibles) players for that. For those that that can't make
the Friday it's fine to have turns run by someone else for the Friday.
(Start early Friday afternoon).
US Game: Venue to be arranged. One in Minneapolis (very likely) and one in
Washington DC/Las Vegas OR Chicago Date 14-16th June (Fri-Sun) and 8-10th
June (Sat-Mon) . Same format as below. 67 players interested
UK: A deposit of �15 is needed per position. Turns cost �2.90 for the 1st
position and �2.50 for the 2nd position per turn.
US costs: $4.10 or $3.50 for the 2nd position, with $50 for flight and $25
deposit. (I estimate around $125 for US players for the w/end plus whatever
expenses you have). With 18 turns run.

Game 61 DS win:
As the Dark Lord looks upon the breadth of his domain he smiles. The key
areas of battle lie in Mirkwood where his stronghold of Dol Guldor
maintained by the second is situated and at the Gap of Isen where the West
attempted to penetrate. It is in these areas that his powerful lieutenants
and his newly found Easterling and Harad allies crushed the free of Game 61
after sweeping the Dunedain of Gondor and the Horse Lords before them. With
the death of many of the Noldo's greatest heroes and other powerful lords of
the west including the kings of the Dwarves, the Sinda Elves, and Gondor,
the carnage reaped in these regions have made him smile. Those pitiling few
remaining will now pay homage to Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor.
