Indeed it does. I gather Arthedain overdid it a bit and poor old Rogrog is nursing his bruised ribs. No doubt Sauron will kiss it better.
So,
With the opening moves behinds us, the inferior forces of the free peoples have committed their armies to the meat grinder that is the valley of the Fire King. Woe to those who trespass.
Those in the world who have not yet chosen a side will surley make the right choice and join our dark lord. To choose the light side only ensures the death and destruction and enslavement of your people.
In the immortal words of the smartest man in the world (not me)“never start a land war in Asia (aka Mordor), and never play a game of wits with a Sicilian when death is on the line.”
Ren the Unclean
Is that a quote from the Princess Bride I see before me?
At least I managed “some” damage on the mighty main army of Arthedain, which was inexplicably moving through the hills. 
I think I out-out-thunk myself on that one, I was really expecting you to come over the top on the plains, more targets that way, figured I could dodge you by using the hills … ah well. Rogrog shall return, with trolls next time. Never could trust a man to do a troll’s job.
Indeed it is…try to keep life and death of imaginary peoples light…Will try for some Yellowbeard and Holy Grail in future postings
Hug anyone? Gisulf and Vagaig refused to see the hug deal and had to be
taken away for re-education… More of the hug doubters will follow, MANY
more…
No Gisulf justed wanted to come back to your place to meet the parents!
Come and meet Daddy Sauron? :eek:
If you had met my father in law - Sauron would be a pussy cat!
Is no-one there - have the Darkside stopped playing?
Nope not until the Free are destroyed… Lucky with Erennis, would be interested
to know how you guys knew he was at location. But on the plus the EO
backdoor attack is dealt with. 
Now was’nt that clever of SG wasting all
those troops at Vamag when they were sorely needed in the pass. Not the
best play I’ve seen… 
CL
Ps Cardolan is in for some serious hugging treatment…
Not sure how we new Erennis was there especially as he had the Cloak of the Abyss - I think it was my cry of group hug and out he popped. Just didn’t know my own strength - ooops
Has anything much happened? I’m just interested to know!!!
Ian - Corsairs
I’m off on hols. Suspicious moves by Rhudaur - possibly going Dark - if so an odd move. Sent a sitrep last turn to all the neutrals - assume it is getting through. I’ll send a further one for teh team when I return on Friday 27th (or Sat).
The dark side are quiet on here - Is it just you and me now? No more group hugs.
Busy in other games Adrian… Don’t worry still here and my agents are still
handing out group hugs. Tarandor and Telumhtar were the latest converts
to huggsim. Far more converts are expected at the gates of the High temple
of Huggism next turn but it was quality before quantity…
Come and get your hugs here!!
CL
Glad someone else is still here. North Gondor is very concerned that Tarondor and Telemeuthar have slipped off somewhere quiet for hugs with you! No fun unless we are all invited - so where is Din’s snuggle camp?
Din’s snuggle camp is all of Middle-earth, naturally. What, you’d deny him a chance for some affection?
Of course not but comfy cushions in the deserts and the snow - will need a lot of fabric conditioner to keep them snuggly.
Din’s not a convert to Huggism, yet. Next turn is going to be a good
turn for the DS. The FP chars inline for a hugging session are… 
Spoilsport - leaving us in antici…
