Hello Everyone...
24/8 1650 Scenario, Game 60, A Win for the Dark Servants! (Player report)
Formal Game Winners:
First Place: Dragon Lord (Greg Shaffer)
Second Place: Easterlings (Andrew)
Third Place: Noldo Elves
A well-coordinated team victory by the DS on turn 14. The Northmen missed
turns and was eliminated early, followed by an Eothraim who had economic
support but not army support from his allies. Way too few FP troops were
mobilized for them to fight this war effectively (the Dwarfs couldn't do it
alone). The FP finally conceded when 11,000 DS troops with dragons and war
machines arrived at the NG capital, Long Rider cavalry arrived in western
Gondor, and the Woodmen couldn't stop a Dragon Lord invasion.
Due to generous team play, no DS nation (other than Rhudaur, briefly DS) was
eliminated or even driven from their homeland. Most of the neutrals had
already responded positively to superior DS team play & diplomatic efforts;
Cardolan was overrun with Dunlendings, and Easterling armies drove all FP
resistance from Rhovanion. The non-existent race with the Elf mages for
locating lost artifacts was firmly won by the DS, making DS agents deadly
from the very start. Dragon recruiting was pursued aggressively by DS, with
no preventative measures taken by FP to reduce the number of dragons
recruited. Chock up another win for well-coordinated allies who support
each other selflessly!
