G231;t47;DARK VICTORY!

Well, it appears to be over. The Freeps, unknown to us, conceded defeat on t47. As you may know they were 12 Free People nations to our 9 Darks Servants. After 20-30 turns under the cosh we turned it around with brilliant defence and gradual depletion of the FP character base such that, i guess, they could see no victory ahead. It would be nice to hear from them. Meanwhile the Final Standings…

i have to say i’m kinda sad such an enjoyable game has come to an end. But, i suppose playing on would just have delayed the inevitable DS victory. I am upset however that i never got the chance to reach 100 kills!!

Anyway thanks to all involved for an entertaining game.

Oh, not good in VP !

As always, enemy mine !

Gixxxer

I have no idea what that means, nor who you are…but it`s nice to get some comment! have you seen a 231 freep of late? they seem to have gone totally silent. oh well.

THE victorious LONG RIDER

A bit of an easy turn since no-one was actually opposing us, but i don`t think things would have turned out much differently…

FREEPS [12 nations]–
11 dead.

DARKS [9 nations]–
1 dead [he was beaten up by spirits on a palantir hunt!]

Freeps who died;
Ragnir [dwarven comm at 3916]–assassinated.
Meglivorn [noldo comm at 2817]–assassinated.
Gilrean [ranger mage]
Encalion [ranger mage]who coughed up their last SM arty-elenruth.
Glorfindel [noldo mage]SM c/c of the last company. we had 12 cursers still in the field at this point. He was cursed and his two buddies assassinated at 3114. Meanwhile there were also the freep agent arties lying there on the ground.
Breana [NG emmy]–PC
Hardtack [NG comm]–assassinated at 3114
Paxton [SG comm]
Blighter [SG comm]
Bisteel [SG comm]
Gamling [SG comm]
All of these were assassinated in SG`s pointless Harad Adventure. He lost 16 characters in 3 turns all told.

The SG capital was taken by one of our curse-emmy units whilst SG roamed abroad.

The Dwarven capital also fell to a Khand HC army.

The game could have dragged on for another 20 turns, but it was a long way back for the freeps who spent the cream of their character base trying to squeeze through morannon with superior troops, but inferior agents/cursers.

FREEP NATIONS [still 12!]:
250 dead characters, 4 M-I-A.

DARK NATIONS: [9 nations]:

The Freeps conceded defeat.

A great game, all the more enjoyable for our comback. freepsters we`d love to trade pdfs if you can bear to? As i said it could have gone on an on…
