Skin of their teeth at 2121 those Northmen…skin of their teeth…
Bradun
Did the Freeps win anthing this turn? a challenge or a battle? Did they assass anyone? Or did they lose everything they tried for and run away from the real action like an elf?? please, help me out here.
Uvatha,
camping out in the Iron Hills these days 
They killed a Dragon Lord character and are moving through RhuAngmar step by step. Quite the successful war, yessirree! Splatting on the walls at 1804 is just going to kill the Rhudaur economy, as he has a City and 2 towns in Mirkwood - oops, I mean a City, newly improved MT and Town.
Really showing spiteful play. Pound on Rhudaur leftovers while Rhudaur and Duns help the Dragon Lord dominate in Mirkwood - so Curse the Dragon Lord.
We’re stealing towns galore, have crossed over to the West bank of the Anduin in force, halted the Corsairs and Harad incursions at the loss of 1 Cloud Lord village and are about to rape and dismember a formerly powerful nation. While they plod through Rhudaur and curse the Dragon Lord and the Corsairs bitterly perseveres in his sad private little war against the Easterlings.
With the key Noldo mages trying to kill our least important characters, we know you’re not doing a 1 ring deal (Meriot?) so really folks - just say the word that we have to kill each and every one of you and we’ll do that. Please direct your apologies to everyone else waiting for the next one, not us - we’re really having quite a blast!

I must thank The FP curse squad for proving me correct on Duran’s demise… But as you can see somehow I manage to get 2 army sized forces @ 2312 this turn… Did I not mention the dwarves previuos move to 2508 would spell the demise of both Sinda and Dwarven Capitols… I hope Culgor in my army doesn’t bother you much… Just my citadel equalizer and with Celedhring there he’s the True FP city Killer!
Sinda did you lose your mind sending that force to 2711! Maybe you should burn it and try to hurt my economy!
As for the West Here I come ready or Not! On to Arthy Capitol is next! I need to take another city Capitol for my resume!
Well I’m still kicking, … just. :o
Had me a BBQ at 2819 and caught me a DS critter. I’m keeping for my very own. I will hug him and squeeze him and pet him and teach him some tricks.:hug:
I think the only forces I haven’t fought this game are WK and I’m sort of expecting him any moment.
Regards Herman
Well guys it looks like it is about that time. 
Well played, we was whooped well and truely. A solid win by the DS.
Regards Herman (Defiant till the end!)
Thanks Herman.
Was a fun game (besides just the winning part). Kudos to the Northwest trio for sticking to it and fighting non stop. How close are you to elimination anyway… 
Bradun
I was never going to let my self get eliminated. I was down to 9 characters (one in a sack) and needed a hand off MT but we had a few to spare. I was still dishing out what I could but didn’t have the firepower to do anything else. I even predicted my capital falling the turn before it did and asked that our agents sab bridge the turn you put it up and put troops across but to no avail. We had a couple of fairly new players but I think they learnt a lot. We just were not coordinated enough and you guys were a well oiled machine.
Regards Herman
Good game Freeps, you did a good job holding us at bay and we thank you for the opposition. We are trying to get a game up and running with the new scenario, Untold War of The Ring. We have four players and we need a total of 10. Are any of you guys interested? We could have our own rematch of sorts with 5DS from game #66 vs. 5Free from game #66.

Now that it’s over, what ever happened to all of the navies? They were rather obsolete? In any event, we were playing a solid game and it was only going to worsen for the Freeps this turn. We had some good planners and good intel. We knew there were some issues within the freep team but the game was fun nonetheless. For everyone that was new or just experiencing their first one-week game, please join in the next one. And be prepared for aggressive play out of the gate. Thanx all for an enjoyable game. :hug:

Thanks to the Free for a good game, it was fun all arround. Glad of the Harad and Corsair jumping on us turn 9 or so, kept the game interesting and fun. I hope all enjoyed the as much as I did, again thanks to both my teammates and the opposition.

Since it’s official as per the Company, I can share. You’ll notice all those little dots in SG - more emissaries, and this doesn’t include our Dog Lord who’s disappeared without telling us if he’s been successful at 2325…!
Cheers,
EDIT - Dog Lord reports in - he got 2325, and has increased our dot count, cross-over with BS, shame, but next turn we were actually going to pay attention to this and plan it properly…just imagine…
Sorry Herman… I just had to torch you early… I was getting tired of Me Games with their silly chess ratings for my style… So i decide to play chess this game…
For the new FP sorry if you was close to me… In 1650 the one week players become expert players fast! For Sinda/WM/Dwarves never let Dragonlord hold Goblingate!
This was well played game by both sides… I will write an article soon explaining my opening in this game… But for a quick answer I named a com, emmy and agent on turn 1 becuase Khamul was at 2715!
Good luck to all in next one week game seya there!
Congratulations to the DS from the early wounded Nation of Cardolon. (Nicely coordinate 4 nation attack on Cardy - surpised I live through it).Thanks to Noldo’s help, I was able to stay in the game, and help throw the garbage out of the NW.
I don’t spend time responded to posts during the game. Last turn, the suicide on 1804 was not for economic purpuses but to ensure no army for the 6 emi’s (with the pectoral) set to 525 RHu after Arthy torched the Rhu cap. (I took over Arthy at about T12). I’m sure loyalty could be that good.
P.S. My Cardy theif stealing the pectoral was the highlight of my game.
Again, congratulations, you guys trounced us. By my count, 4 to 1 dead nations in your favor. I hope to see you all in future games.
A very special thanks to Harad and Cosair for going FP, where they planned on going DS from the start, to make it a game for a few turns longer.

I was a little pissed at losing the pectoral that turn…
4-2. WK killed himself economically early - that helped lengthen this game, let me tell you…! QA of course also once our southern friends made their only mistake of the game…
We’re also glad to hear you had a better reason for hitting 1804. Of course, Rhudaur had yet 2 more capitals and too much money, but going splat for a good reason always earns you a place in the Hall of Heroes. Underutilized weapon, suicide.
whoever wanted to see how I planned this I will gladly send my first 4 turns pdf’s… Not even sure if I remembered correctly who asked me about the opening… misonor@yahoo.com
