…hasn’t run yet… But we’re trying! 1/2 or orders are up and the other half will be tonight, as Wade and I divorced our wives and disowned our families in a herculean effort to accomodate Clint’s request to get another turn in before Dec 21…now…where’s Clint? Coming soon, we’ll see if his grandiose predictions for DOOM in the North West come true! Does yet another round of character seiging at Dol Amroth net him any benefits? Who’s going to survive the Great Rhun Massacre? Keep watching this space…
Well, the turn finally ran! Interesting developments, it seems we’re circling each other warily…wonder if this game will ever end! Don’t listen to Clint’s prophesies of DOOM for Arthedain or the Corsairs…they’re all under control and he’s petering out…
FP cursers killed a couple Rhudaur homies and stole a town (2009) from them while we reclaimed Morthondost (2223) from the Blind King. 3629 joins 3822 as Free Mordor city states…where are we going next?? DS killers reign in Dol Amroth and the Eoplex, while the assault against the Northmen fizzles. FP killed yet another Dumb…er…Dark Servant via challenge, this time an army commander…note to clint…aw forget about it… Our Dol Guldor assault, well, it isn’t an assault, actually, just a burn off the armies kind of move, nice defense, though, how many armies did you desperately and terrifiedly (word?) spam into that place? Maybe it was a TRAP! Maybe we were BLUFFING and just wanted some juicy targets to CURSE…but that’s an extra level of play likely beyond our comprehension, linear colonialists that we are… Cardy playing Ring a Round the Rosie with Fire and Dog in Harad, eventually we’ll all die together.
Summary? DS took Mirkwood and are now attempting some clumsy uncoordinated pressure on the Rhun and Eoplex while the NWest has WK/Rhuduar pressure on Arthedain. QA and friends continue to press the Corsairs but have had no success in the Havens or South Bank. SG missing a couple pops, but we don’t see too much offensive pressure there as we rebuild and push back. DS have agents, FP have cursers, both teams have Emissaries.
I made it 10 of the FPs killed/kidnapped - 3 of the DS this turn. Slightly in favour of me for PCs gained so overall - NICCCCEEEEEE
Dudannis not doing too good at present…
As for the onslaught in the North - isn’t that supposed to be you hitting me? That is my army having taken 1510 and in the process of taking 1006, 1407 isn’t it? Any time the SG would like to get back into the game is fine with me but you appear to have gone a tad agenty there… :o
North Harad - I do believe I get to reclaim that this turn - all short a camp or two. As for the Corsairs - don’t worry about him you won’t have much longer to worry anyway - although why he’s got an Arthedain town up North I can’t tell! One day I might have to visit the Cardoplex but I suspect that the Arthedain capital might be there after this turn.
You appear to have missed losing 2325 in your report - Sindar’s only got a few camps - all the rest are hidden pcs (ditto the Woodmen - interesting strategy of last defence methinks!). Interesting battle in Mirkwood - I reckon you’ll re-take a lot of it but give up Northmen/Eoplex for it so I’m content there.
