I agree, we would be doomed right now if the Corsairs was still playing. It has been bad enough trying to try to help the Harad and QA without the Corsairs. I shudder the thought if the Corsairs was still active in the game. :eek: I had never mentioned it before because I didn’t want you to know we have known he has been out a number of turns now. What we have been scratching our heads about is what put him out? (no answer needed, just a rhetorical q) Our best guess was that he went bankrupt because of some caravan buys or something along those lines.
Clint(player),
Are you enjoying the challenge of this game? ME79 has been the most fun in years for my teammates. You guys are GOOD, literally and figuratively. We can’t believe that you haven’t conceded defeat yet Don’t you know it is hopeless for you?

We think we’ve got a decent chance of impacting on your economies big time soon and we’re not quite sure what that will mean to the game but we are ever hopeful.
Mordor has proven more resilient than we thought (slight error slowed the onlsaught not attacking the DkL near Carach Angren - not under my control I might add) and it’s interesting to go so long into a grudge game…
I think we’ve got a decent chance at a win so we’ll stick to it. It’s a cool challenge for us and we’re learning lots about team co-ordination so we’re happy - you should see our meets!
If you want to call it a draw I can ask the team? Thanks for the comments - it’s a good team and despite the mess up with the Corsairs the best we’ve played so far.
Clint (player),
How to prove it you shall see, eventually! I was not suggesting an offer of a draw. We like the challenge. In many of our other games it would have been decided around now with the other team conceding defeat. You have already lost, but you just don’t know it yet ( I had to throw that taunt in)
Where you are doing well militarily, we are doing very well character-wise. Yes, you have taken a number of mordor capitals, one nation twice, but not one DS has been put out of the game. I will make a bet with you that life will become very hairy for a particular Free nation very shortly. I have NEVER seen a FP team put out as many camp busting small cavalry armies (and some hi) that your team has. Kudos on making it a very interesting game.
Clint,
Thanks for the great game. We were just about to take that Sinda City. We were also looking forward to a very long game. I did not expect a concession this soon. Was Northern Gondor starting to get worried about all of his characters getting kidnapped? I think we were up to seven NG characters and soon to add more.
Do you think that your team would be interested in swapping pdfs from all the earlier turns? I have compiled a zip folder for each turn from T0 till now including all nations pdfs. Each turn is about 900K.
Yep it seems likely that the Sindar pc would go. It was a good game.
I doubt the team want to swap turns though - they’re generally just not up for that.
The reason we conceded - basically with the Corsair dead early on our real play was to try and take out nations of yours. You kept them alive and effectively managed to keep a decent economy throughout. Your dragon play was the best we’ve come across and that held us up. I’d estimate around 8 turns to take out the rest of Mordor but you’re popping up b/ups as fast as we can take them.
NG - that was me - nope no problem at all there - for most of the game with NG I had max characters - never seen it for me before! You hardly impacted on our characters at all - but that’s part of the strategy. I thought you guys did a great defence of Mordor - our team made a wopper of a mistake (not me I’m glad to say!) not attacking the DkL at 3222 so basically that was the difference between the plains’ Pcs going or not.
Learnt a lot from this game and our team is better than ever so we’re cool with that.
Agent wise we had some bad luck but things swing so we’re not complaining. I think with the Corsair alive we’d have won comfortably but that’s part of the game - we made an error, you capitalised on it and won the game. Heartfelt congratulations - there goes our 100% record but heh next time uh?! LoL
I must say – all our dragon encounters wheren’t that good – lost Murazor and believe two other starting characters to dragons right away – if could have gotten a dragon or two on one of my army’s think would have held on to Angmar at least two turns more – never seen so many troops so fast in any game i have ever been in !! We didn’t have the luxtury of having group meetings as most of live all across US – most of the credit for Victory on our side would have to go to Brian and John – those two are the best i have ever seen at coordinating strategies and stuff !!
This Old dog ME player actually learned alot from this game and from Brian and John !! Kudo’s to all – Great Game !!
Congradulations John, Brian, BK and the rest of the DS. John, what is your team’s name? The Sarumen will be ready to fight in a month, after one of our members returns from his African safari. Undefeated and multiple holder of the Flagship Cup. In case you are interested.
Greetings,
To all in the free from this game. I am interested in trading pdfs. I was playing the Cloud Lord and the Dog Lord. My wife was playing the Dragon Lord. Would any of you be willing to trade pdfs? If so, please let me know.
Thanks for a good game.
