Hello Everyone
FTF w/end - it's that time of year where we prepare for the FTF w/end.
Ideally I'd like to run it on the w/end of 17th -19th September. Get back
to me with; yes, probably, unlikely, no (or other dates that you
are free around that period). So far 14 have signed up and around 8
possibles.
Each year I think we've improved the format and fun for everyone but as
usual if there's anything else that you'd like to see then get back to me.
Some new applications: YUM...............
AutoMinister - another great application from Mike Mulka. It enables you to
bring in all the XMLs from your team and keep track on artefacts (lost and
new ones each turn), characters, enemy characters, rumours from enemies
(removing the rumours from your side for ease of reference), but the best
thing (IMO) is the economic projection. Well worth getting; it's a an Excel
application:
http://middle-earth.darkfortress.us to download the file or our website
(Library and Links)
OrderChecker: Bernie Gaider's cool application is designed to check your
orders after you've created them in MEOW or AutoMagic. I've found it caught
LOTS of my errors and very useful. It's a Java application so you'll need
Java for it (MEOW instructions are useful for downloading this). Available
via the website (Library and Links)
If you have any problems with either of these then get in touch.
New mapping program soon to be released - got some snazzy new functions
inlcuding reading direct from PDF. We'll be supporting both for the
forseeable future.
Origin's Awards: Middle Earth PBM just won the Gamer's Choice Awards -
thanks to everyone that voted.
MEOW - MEOW is now also fully compatible with 1000 orders. If you know
anyone using MEOW then you might want to inform them.
The following new games are filling up.
BOFA Games - we need tutors for this one please.

turnaround game at any one time and this is going to be it.

1650 Lewis Morton 12v12 any format
2950/1650/Wotr GM Team.
Setting up in a game:
When I get all 25 nations into the game I will allocate you your choice of
nation from the list of nations that you have sent me - please send multiple
nation choices as this helps to get everyone their 1st or 2nd choices - if
too many choose only 1 nation the system falls apart. All nations are
potentially available until I set up the game.
Descriptions of the type of game follow - please check this when contacting
me with regards playing in that game. When joining with allies please tell
me so that I can help out. You cannot join 1650/2950 games as Neutral with
an aligned or Neutral ally.
Up to 2 nation game: You can play one or two Aligned nations, or one Neutral
nation.
2 nation game: You must play two nations.
Note please ask for variant games we can try to get you opposition for them
if you are interested - mostly Grudge teams though - if I get 10 players for
any single type of game then I will put it up for general availability below
and push it, always check the rules for variant games;
I have drop-outs available - don't forget you get a free turn for taking
these up...
E [Early] = 0-10 turn, M [Midgame]= 11-20, L [Late game] = 21+ [A= Aligned
if a Neutral, N= not aligned if a Neutral, P = Postal and Email game, G=
Grudge, 1w = 1week game, 3w = 3week game]
Bofa: None;
1000: None;
2950: None
1650: Harad (E,N)
Gunboat; One Duo and 2 singles - please get in touch all in excellent
condition.

specifics on what is available.
Thanks
Clint
