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 Game 19 The game started with early dominance from the Free, who
blasted their way into the heart of Mordor with large armies and pretty
much had the run of the military game, with the Witch King out of Angmar
and the Dragon Lord out of Mirkwood.
However, in the far deserts, the three Neutrals and the southern Dark
Servants were playing a game of brinkmanship, leading eventually to a
realisation that the game would end in a Free victory unless all three
neutrals went Dark.
Rhudaur had also joined Sauron and only the Dunlendings went Free. This 4
to 1 imbalance started to overturn the supremacy of the Free, with agent,
emmisary and curse teams recovering property lost earlier. Eventually the
minions of Mordor overwhelmed the resistance and victory went to the Dark
Lieutenants played by DS team leader Kevin o'Keefe.
