Alas,
It is true, the fat knacker choked on lump of gristle whilst hiding under the table at his capital!. He`s been silent for so long, that we thought him already gone. But , it seems, he was doomed to be cursed by his gob! For good measure his “underling” Bill Ferny bit the big one too. We did say we had more than one curse squad. Now to put them into full effect.
THE LONG RIDER
Were still counting your dead this turn, so a full report will follow. Also we took quite a bit of real-estate this turn. however id like to gloat about the success of our targetting of your company commanders. First there was Mueller at 3224 which ended with the gutting of the cream of your agent crop. Then we got the c/c at morannon two turns ago. Now we got the c/c at 4014. Puts a bit of a dent in plans, doesnt it? Especially when we move in high-ranking agents to finish off the job…whos for the knife this turn? Its gonna be another bloody turn for you, and i`m not even mentioning the inexorable march of our armies…
THE LONG RIDER
Fe, fi, fo, fum I smell the blood of a “free agent” be he live or be he dead I’ll grind his bones to make my bread…
Guys you just never learn do you just never learn
A&A
Still going pear-shaped for the Freeps. After all those turns of financial and military dominance, they are on the run…
This turn they managed three kills, but were still outscored 9 kills to 3. And thats not the worst of it. The dark servants are now taking real-estate at will. This turn the dwarves lost a camp, a village, a major town AND a city to DS armies...ouch, thats gotta hurt. Meanwhile North Gondor joined Rohan and the Northmen in gimp status. The hurt is only beginning!
Dead Freeps;
BILL FERNY , a superior White Wizard Comm/agen, who had been something of pain, unnacountably turned up at the meat grinder of 3323, and was ground. cursed three times.
ZASTRA, a duns emmy, was assassinated.
DIS, a dwarven comm, mage??? assassinated in her own capital. losing an army.
BRYTTA, a dwarven agent assigend to protect the bearded “lady” was assassinated there too.
LIPPOCRUSTMERLI, a white wizard emmy, who`s most outstanding contribution was her name, was assassinated.
VIENUS, a woody agent, was assassinated. also at 3323.
THEODEN, pie-scoffer in chief. cowardly leader of rohan, was cursed to death at his own capital. sheep eveywhere breathe a sigh of relief!
NAZGOL, a company commander at 4014, was assassinated, stranding their followers.
VALACAR, a sinda commander, was assassinated trying to raise an army at 2730. too little, too late. go home elven scum!
Dead Darks;
meanwhile, more martyrs of SAURON were created;
ELOSIAN, a khandian commander of some repute, was assassinated at 4014 after ordering it`s destruction.
TAURION, another commander of that army, was also assassinated.
BURAZOG, QA agent, was assassinated at 3323.
and that makes the running total…

THE LONG RIDER
Actually at least for NG only one Original Character left. The Mighty Boromir who has somehow evaded curses, knives, and capture (so far). Hell, at least for me it’s like the movie Enemy at the Gates “You! carry the rifle, You! pick up the rifle when he falls!”. Hehe, and to think I’m still somehow alive and get to take it easy a few turns.
NG the relaxed
So what happened to Argirion and Baranor then? Run over? Encounters?
THE LONG RIDER
NG
You guys up for exchanging PDFs at the end? win or lose? Pretty confident our guys would like to see what you had left guessing same on your side.
Interested in a joint article for Bree (make a change from the one-sided postings that is the norm if nothing else) exchange of views etc?
Good game, plenty of errors on BOTH sides but all told very enjoyable!
…and now back to the game…
“Quiet few turns” you must be confusing your position with that of the Rangers - what is this guy doing? - just passed the WM player for least involvement in the game - 700HI in the pass and thats it??? give me a break
