Game 36 Update from the Free Peoples
After turn 6, the sides of Dark and Light have taken massive casualties on both sides. The dark servant team started off with a strong move in Mordor, attacking Minus Ithil. In addition, Urzahil revealed the unfortified Sinda city while the Drgnld pushed his forces there to siege. However, anticipating these actions, the Free Nations moved defensive armies to both, and saved the Sinda City from destruction repelling the invader and to this day still Sinda.
The Nazgul slow down as the Mouth of Sauron revealed the hidden MT of Imaldris while the Rhuduar’s hoard made encampment around it. Imaldris fell despite Elrohir’s heroics with his small force. Sauron’s assassins sulked through the nations of the free attempting to find great leaders to strike. Great armies disbanded returning to their farms in disillusionment after seeing there general slain by the hand of a dark agent.
The free armies however with great resolve pushed back the minions of the dark one. Mordor’s gate thought secure by the elimination of the bridge and subjection of Minus Ithil saw the resiliency of the heart of the Free Nations. Great armies flood the pass, rebuilt the bridge over night and marched through Osgilith to Minus Ithil. The once great city was retaken for the free, and the hoard of free men march further slashing through dark hordes and assassination attempts to stand before Barad Ungol, home of the Fire King.
In the North, the Witch King and Rhudaur nations pushed hard to make their nations stronger, taking Imaldris from the Noldo, and outlying towns of the Dwarves. But again the Free countered and while the Rhuduar attempted to work south to assault the Dunlending nation, Cardolan and Arthedain troops pounced on Rhuduar and WitchKing holdings. Along with Dwarves and Duns, the nation of the Rhuduar was smothered in chaos, and the mighty Commander of the great Rhuduar horde was ordered to return home to defend the homeland. A Cardolan commander successfully seiged and subdued the Rhuduar capital after a lucky agent was able to sabotage the defenses, after his victory he was cut down by Gontran the assassin. Gontran, Ji Indur and Erennis were too late to stop the fall of the capital of the Rhuduar. The dark lord only knows if the Rhuduar’s economy can stand such a blow after so much loss however Sauron has given the Rhuduar full support of the assassins’ guild.
The battle wages on in the east and south as well victory and defeat on both sides, the world ablaze for the fight of Middle Earth #38.
