Game 38 Clint v James Knight

Quick glance at the turns - see what you mean about the navies…

WOOOOOOOOOO OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :eek:

Looks like a couple of army moves have gone awry as well James… :wink:

No errors so far I’m pleased to say.

Clint (player)

There are no army moves awry - they’re all part of the plan :wink:

But you did good on the navy blocks - they’re what I would have done too, except I would have staggered the QA and the Harad navies to do max damage.

Well, at least I know that repots of your prowess aren’t exaggerated! :stuck_out_tongue: But it’s all good - my plans are coming together :wink: :smiley:

JK

Got the overrun at Imladris? I love that move…!

And what move is the overrun at Imlandris? I’ve played the Noldo countless times and never had that army overrun.

Scott

I don’t know how ya’ll do it, I couldn’t stand the suspense of a three week turnaround, I’m chomping at the bit after a week.

Scott

lol me too! but it does give me the chance to review and reflect - impulses are sometimes good, but not necessarily the most effective source of inspiration…

as for Imladris overrun, I thought the army had to move through the hex in order to overrun, which is why I thought Cirdan would have been safe. I guess I was wrong! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well you did want to learn some tips didn’t you… :wink:

Orders done, just need to send them in.

Clint (player)

Send them in?

Don’t you have to just turn around and hand them to someone?

Confused,

Scott

lol I did indeed! :stuck_out_tongue: just so long as I’m able to teach somethings too :wink: I think another FTF is in order - my play improved dramatically after that, and I think I’ll need all the assistance I can get! :smiley:

My first draft of orders is done, but I’m gonna have a rethink, I reckon. I’m gonna step up my game and stop playing little leagaue :smiley:

I should have my orders in either today or tomorrow, but as usual, no pressure - send in yours whenever.

JK

Don’t you have to just turn around and hand them to someone?

I wish - save me a bunch of effort - especially if they could be error checked for stupidity. :rolleyes:

The nearest I got to a SS turn was where I left my orders in the office in the in-turn pile and missed out a few orders… :stuck_out_tongue:

Clint (player)

There we go - orders in and only a day late :slight_smile: Ready when you are :wink:

JK

Hopefully get them in tomorrow night (Wed) - had a kiddy w/end and tonight was our GM grudge meet so got side-tracked. Had to do some work as well (disgusting I know!) :slight_smile:

Clint (player)

Congratulations!!

Lol no worries - that’s why I say “when you’re ready” :smiley: There will be plenty of times when I have to wait till payday! Just easier when I have startup free turns! lol

JK

Hmmm, where to start? Perhaps a less interesting turn than it could have been?

Angmar: Failed to threaten a camp with Elladan - that’s just silly! Other than that the war machine is rolling nicely with 1,000,000 HI due to land on WK/Rhu over the next few turns! :smiley:

Mirkwood: Only interesting thing is that the Drg Ld moved to block outside of Dol Guldur - I’m not worried, although I’m curious as to what the Goblin Gate army is going to do…

Rhovanion: I caught a sneaky Dog army although Bulrakur snuck past and is on Tir Limlight. Not a great problem as the other Eo cavalry can catch him up soon :smiley: Also moved on to Carvarad which will burn this turn.

Rhun: Nothing interesting at all - as quiet as a mouse! So I’ll expect Din to make an appearance any moment! And who is that tricksy army south west of Shrel Kain…? I might have to do something about that.

Ithil: I lost Minas Ithil to threat as expected, and may well lose Osgiliath too! On the plus side I upgraded the fort to a castle so that might help it resist the threat :wink: And Barad Perras will fall this turn too, so the IK’s gonna start hurting real soon.

Harad/Umbar: Predictable the QA and Harad navies were sunk. Two towns fell to NG and Cor. This turn Harad will lose another 3 towns and an MT. Hmmm, there’s not gonna be much left soon :wink:

Overall: this is the easy part for me, I guess. The honeymoon before Clint’s agents get up and running, and where we’re still in the opening moves phase. Interestingly Clint has bought out the mounts and a load of leather - I wonder what for! :stuck_out_tongue: :wink: Still, I produce enough of both not to worry too much…

What’s your perspective, Clint?

JK

you were lucky… :rolleyes:

Clint (player)

lol I was lucky?! how? :stuck_out_tongue:

ALL - well most your navies to one place in the south - failed to get rid of the harbour… That’s how… (whinge, complain, whinge some more). Not bitter at all.:o Ah well the rest of the map is going very well so can’t complain too much I suppose. :rolleyes:

Clint (player)

lol not really bad luck when you’re only using a C30 for the job! I remember my first time as QA - it took me 6 attempts between Gargal and Fuinur to finally get rid of the harbour at Lugarlur - and let’s not talk about Herumor and Ingar failing Sauron at Vamag… lol

<moves arms in circular, Jerry Springer-esque motion> “Harad’s goin’ down!” :smiley: What are they gonna do with all their mounts now? :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm there appears to be a distinct lack of taunting! Fortunately my orders should be in by Weds, just reviewing them now. Then we’ll see what we’ll see! I wonder if I’ll get the encounter for Tinculin this turn…?

Well I’ll swap Harad for all the rest of the map… deal? :rolleyes:

Ain’t got no time for taunting - too busy getting orders wrong. :wink:
