Game 91

General
#1

Hi there all. I’ve been a bit lax getting this one started due to other commitments, but here we are on Turn 3 in a grudge challenge, and time to count the fingerbones in my little bag :slight_smile:

I’ll start from the far south (because that’s of most interest to me and I might as well please myself :slight_smile:

Pretty fast paced to date down in Harondor. The DS fleets didn’t sally, the CL has just turned up at 3028, so you can guess it looks a little grim for the DS :slight_smile: The main SG fleets landed at 2631 on turn 1, the small fleet went to 2430, the Sinda to 2630, and a lonely Corsair fleet bounced into 2634 in the south. 2631, 2630 and 2634 burned on turn 2 and 2430 resisted a regent’s threat (what the!!! :slight_smile:

On turn 2 the little admirals gathered their little fleets after the ritual marshmallow fry whilst the SG armies combined on the MT at 2730 and captured it on turn 3 whilst freep armies landed on 2731 and 2833. The sum total - only the isle of 2430, 2632 and 2732 are likely to remain on T4.

The QA main army was also defeated at 2136 and naught but a new icon is sitting at Vamag.

Given that we haven’t faced much elsewhere, we’re expecting the remaining full recruit in S.Harad to be a bit of a tough nut…

At the end of T4 we’re expecting the Harad to own 3MT’s and 2T’s in the south, and 1MT and 2T’s in the north (though that’s on borrowed time too!)

The main DS activity was around Ithil. The FK captured MInas Ithil on T2. NG and SG forces have burned the IK and DkLt’s startups at Osgiliath on T3 whilst the Eothraim smacked the remaining DkLt’s forces north of 3120. 3000 odd Dog troops along with FK survivors plus new recruits are at Osgiliath facing the Gondorian survivors plus the remaining Eo cav of 3 armies that routed the DkLt’s away north. The CL armies have arrived at 3028.

A small Dog cav icon has appeared at 3715

Lot’s of noise and light, and startup armies combusting around Osgiliath.

The sea of Rhun is nice and quiet for the freep. Uvatha’s cav army was intercepted at 4218 by an Eo cav army on T1, the survivors then facing the Northy cav army to be destroyed outright by T3. In a very happy encounter the Sinda fleet encountered the LR fleet at 4415 on T1 so that’s also gone. And to complete the trifecta the NG intercepted the southern LR cav heading in to Harondor. At this point we can’t see any DS icons out back other than the cav at 3715.

And the LR as a military force is out of the game at this point, unable to land troops without his fleet. Well on the good side - they have at least one banker :slight_smile:

In Mirkwood the Dog got lucky with reveal pop on Dendra from startup and revealed the Sinda city at 2514, though his main army was intercepted a hex away. With the dwarves marching north (waving to the Goblin gate hooligans on the way :slight_smile: we decided to stay the course and not go on the defensive. The drag took 2514with significant losses, revealed 2413 but is faced by stiff Sinda and Dwarf opposition. Only a new hire remains at 2715 with little light bulbs in the woods to keep him company. Gob gate fell to the dwarves T3. The drag is looking very shakey on his pins…

From 2305 we can see there is no recruit remaining. A freep army sits unopposed at the (now) WK town of 2405, and the last WK army is hosting a bunch of nasty Woodmen at 2406. Looks like that party is coming to a close too.

Angmar is messy for the freep. By end of T1 there were DS icons on EVERY Rhu pop - looks like he plans to make a fight of it - so inconvenient! :wink: A few smaller armies have been burned, and WK armies encountered south and in front of the Rhu positions. Argeleb and a gaggle of freeps decided to wander in to 1806 to see what was happening, and were met by the lovely Angulion and an ‘army’ - see what happens there.

Dancu split a cav army off and headed west on T1 threatening the village at 1307 and then capturing 0907. The noose tightened and Gaerdae has caught him at 0707 so that’s his traipsing days over. Things still warming up around Angmar and no serious blows or major armies have made their mark just yet. The DS have swarms of troops so we the freep will need to be clever :slight_smile:

All in all, question marks to be answered in the strength of Harad forces in S.Harondor, the DS mega push in Ithil, and the hard nut in the mass recruit of Angmar. Harad has taken a terrible beating otherwise, the Mordorian armies are now committed, and Rhovanion/Rhun and Mirkwood looking very good for the freep. We’ll see if the DS concentrations pay off…

Cheers

Greetings Warlords and -ladies (if there are some),
I was also a bit lazy in posting game-stuff or the usual threats.-

Rob’s game review is more or less complete and I’m asking me what the DS will try to win this game.

Come on boys! … are you so easy to beat?

Have Fun!

Hi all. Turn 4’s in and the party continues. Celdrahil and co continue to drink copious amounts of lager whilst Haruth hikes her skirts and cries with her friends :slight_smile:

In the far south… Mariana of the CL failed to hit Celdrahil and was wounded. 2731 was burned leaving only 2732 and 2833 in the north. Celdrahil is at the island 2430. 3MT’s and 2T’s remain in the south. Lots of DS troops at 2535 and 2635 and a Freep army at 2536 (how big is the surprise? :slight_smile: Corsair army outnumbers QA defenders at 2135.

Ithil – the big bash at Osgiliath saw the wiping out of the NG and SG start-ups along with the remains of 3 Eo armies. The total FK force pool and the Dog start ups were decimated. They got lots of food.

The CL start-ups have wandered over to Pelargir (which is a pain of course), and the BS start-ups are at 3020.

An Eo cav force is unopposed at the MT on 3621, and another freep army is at 4022 which is a problem for the DS with the BS in the west :slight_smile:

So all the usual DS armies have been wiped in NW Mordor and now the CL and BS have arrived. That’s oooh interesting! :slight_smile:

On Rhun a lonely small Dog army under Gurthlug is sitting unopposed at 3916 (OR of course has no fleet so that’s not an issue)

Mirkwood – The Drag main army was wiped out at 2413. Amroth is sitting unopposed at the MT/- of 2514. Woodmen armies will remove the recruit at DG.

WK icon at 2305

Angmar – the Arth threatened 1806 while the WK was off defending Rhudaur :slight_smile: 0907 was threatened back to the Arth as a V/T while the Wk attack was wiped out at 0707.

An arth army is sitting unopposed at 2007 – what to do?.. :slight_smile: Imladris is revealed. The dwarf start-ups are at 2109 with a Dunlending army facing a lot of Rhu troops. Another Duns and a Cardy army is opposing two smaller Rhu forces at 1808. A small WK force is facing a small Arth and Cardy force at 1806. DS icons at 1910, 2208, 1907, 1906, 2005. DS looking fairly heaving committed now. Whether to vacate all those troops off 1910 to join the fight??? >:-)

That’s about it. The Freep are dealing out some hefty damage. Mirkwood is almost denuded of DS forces. Angmar is now bleeding troops freely in losing battles. The far south has taken a beating, and Freep armies are sniping MT’s off Mordor extremities. Will it be enough???

Cheers

Time for turn 5. In the far south 2430 decided it wanted to be threatened but 2632 didn’t. 2632, 2732 and 2833 remain to N.Harad.

A bunch of freep fleets landed on the Harad capital at 2734. DS icons remain at 2534, 2535 and 2635. 2135 has been cleared of QA troops.

The CL forced sidestepped at Pelargir and have moved to 2726 to attack S.Gondor. Small FK armies have moved to 3026. So Ithil is about done. The bridges at Minas Anor have been removed.

On the Rhovanion - the MT at 3621 was burned and Mahrcared surviving two CL assassination attempts moved to 3120 where he’s ready to do some kickin’

On the Rhun the Dog threatened 3916 and has moved to 3819 and 3316. Plenty of freep armies out there and the LR fleet has previously been removed from play.

In the Gap - an icon has appeared at 2719 which we presume to be the BS startups (who were at 3020 the turn previously)

Mirkwood is fairly DS free with an icon to be wiped at 2715 and another small icon at 2305

In Angmar a good turn for the freep. Wiped out lots of defenders. A vacating army from 2208 left the door open to the Duns surviving cav fresh from knocking out a 4500 troop army at 2109 (with the dwarves). The town is undefended. Another Duns army blew through two Rhu infantry armies at 1808 and has reached 1908 undefended. 2007 was burned down. More freep armies both on the approach and inside the wire so Rhu’s init up to his neck.

1806 previously taken by the Arth is now hosting lots of WK troops. The ARth is at 1906 unnopposed. Dwarf and WK forces facing off at 2005.

Oh and Ji knocked off Argirion (boo! :slight_smile:

So in the far south the pain is still ticking over. In the NW it’s starting to hurt now with the 4th town about to go down, serious freep armies inside the lines and more approaching. The approaches to Mordor are starting to burn as well.

The wars outside Mordor are very much in the freep’s favour generally, we’ll see how the new turns go.

#5

Hi all. Turn 6 results are in and it’s looking generally pretty good for freep again (and so it should!!! :slight_smile:

ANGMAR
1908 and 2208 burned to the ground. Freep armies have the WK outnumbered at 1907 and are unopposed at 1908. The WK has cleared freep defenders from the Arth held town at 1806, however the Arth ripped out the fortifications on his way out :slight_smile:

If there isn’t a dragon at 1907 this turn, the NW DS are in serious strife. Every township will have been dealt with – 1907, 2007, 1908, 2208, 2009 all burned. 1806 retaken by WK without the fort. 2109 burned and 1906 threatened to the Arth.

That leaves 1910, 2008, 2006 and 1804 in DS hands – islands in the sea…

The Rhu has an army on Imladris opposed by freep armies.

MIRKWOOD
2305 is in Drag hands now and hosting an outmatched armies to the Woodes away team. The woodies will clear the new hire at 2715 again (before being sicko’d by the locals no doubt). 2409 has already fallen to the Dwarves so not much DS action here. One positive to the DS was that Dendra PC’d and killed Ringlin in a protracted fight taking the mage arty off him – boooo! :slight_smile:

RHOVANION/RHUN
The LR fleet was sunk T2, and the cav wiped out about T3 so he’s out of the fray. The BS army marched to the gap of Rohan where it’s been countered in force this turn at 2619. So there’s not much other than some doggy cav running about doing threats. 3819 and 3715 are in their hands as is the village at 3916. Nothing to worry about so far. They’re sitting at 3716. 3020 was previously threatened.

The MT at 3621 has been burned as has the town at 3120.

A dwarf and Dog army are faced off at 3925

In Ithil the DS have captured Minas Ithil as a T/F, Osgiliath as a T/-, and threatened both 3026 and 3028. The CL army made it to 2626 in SG this turn where he’s opposed by 2NG and a SG army.

HARONDOR
N.Harad has only 2632 and 2833 as towns, and the MT at 2732. All else is taken/burned.

In S.Harad the Corsair/SG burned the cap 2734 to the ground. The remaining forces at 2635 and 2835 are opposed by a lot of DS :slight_smile: S.Harad consists of 2 MT’s and 2 T’s.

A recruit icon has returned to 2135.

So overall, the Freep are not hammering at Mordor, however they have inflicted much grief over the rest of the map.

Ciao!

Turn 7 came in a burst of fury. The list of casualties was as follows…
Khathog PC’d and killed Vercingetorix of the Eothraim
Mahrcared then returned the favour and carved his initials in Din Othar’s forehead (removing his shiny bauble in the process :slight_smile:
Hoarmurath PC’d and killed Thranduil
Daonghlas PC’d and killed Broggha
Hukor was killed in battle
Faltur died in battle
Angamaite was captured in battle
Wodurishak was captured in battle
Odagus was gravely wounded in battle then died of sickness (when your luck is in… :slight_smile:
Camlin was assassinated (well there had to be one died the traditional way :slight_smile:

So 5 dead freep, 3 dead DS and 1 captured from each. On the whole though - with Din Othar turned into a dashmat and matching set of fluffy dice - I think we got far the better end of it :slight_smile:

ANGMAR
1907 and 2209 were burned to the ground. 1910 is now hosting more freep than RHu troops. No icon is on 2008. Besides the 2 MT’s Rhu only has the camp at 2010.

The WK recaptured 1806 as an unfortified village. So they have 1804 and 2006 which is a city, and the village at 1905. Icons we can see are at 1905 and 2006, plus presumably 1804 and 1906.

With a bunch of Freep icons around the DS are in strife in the NW

MIRKWOOD
The Drag had 2305 transferred to him which is now hosting a lot of freep unopposed.

Goblin gate was captured by the Dwarf early and was influenced back by Murazor. So they will have to go and do that again and hopefully make efforts not to do it a third time :slight_smile:

At DG the Drag finally cleared out the freep (where Odagus bit the bullet). So he’s able to recruit again. Other than that, not much going on in Mirkwood. Freep are looking good, but need to take out some pops.

RHOVANION/RHUN
As previously noted all LR forces have been wiped out as was the fleet.
A couple of Dog cav armies have been running around and captured 3716 this turn, and threatened 3819 and 3916 (camp and village) in previous turns. They’ve run into an Eo force at 3713.
A northy force is at 3916 so that’ll be short lived like the rest of the DS gains (apart from Ithil).
Not much action out this way either with the only two DS forces intercepted. The dwarf knocked out a Dog force at 3925 in the back door area, and the Eo burned 3120 to the ground (where Din decided to push up the daisies) and lobbed up at Morannon.

GONDOR
The BS marched 7 turns to fight at 2619 and was wiped out by Gondorian forces supplemented by eagles :slight_smile:

The CL likewise marched 7 turns to 2626 where they were met by a largish NG HC force, some woses and SG infantry. THe fight was desperately close, so much so that the CL never had enough troops to take down the T/T :slight_smile: But he did survive. So I suppose I need to step on that with something significant…

All that maintenance for no returns :slight_smile:

The DS agents have been very active in the Gondors and Corsairs with their stealing. Last turn they got 5 gold from SG, 3 gold from Corsairs and nothing from NG. I thought that was a little too generous! :slight_smile:

While the Harad/QA were fending off the Corsair armies at 2635 and 2835 (as well as the PC’s), SG and Sinda fleets landed unopposed at 2534. Both N.Harad and S.Harad will be reduced to 2 T’s and a MT each by the end of next turn. So looking a little grim there too.

All in all the DS have taken a fiersome beating on the rest of the map, but Mordor is still intact, and it’s normally won or lost there. I’m guessing that - with the Freep not playing ball on gold stealing, and the markets being absolutely abyssmal with most produce including steel and bronze at 1, that the DS economy is suffering.

An interesting game…

#7

… raise a glass for Odagus!
The WM kept the Drag busy at DG.-

You forgot to mention Gundabad.

Have Fun!

Gixxx

#8

P. S.

We don’t have any major DS-armies close to us.
Rob will have to deal with some FK-armies…
…but Eoplex and Rhun are prettty safe.

#9

No I got 2305 in the report. One of two to fall next turn :slight_smile:

#10

Hi all. Turn 8 has landed.
ANGMAR - No Rhu armies remain in the field this turn. Plenty of freep at 1910, and a freep army at 2008. Only the two MT’s and the camp at 2010 are in Rhu’s hands. Lots of light bulbs.

The WK has stirred and has a couple of smallish (for the region) armies to retake 2005 and 1906. Freep icons at 1805, 2004, 1907 and 2007.

1806 of course is now an unfortified WK village so looking a little grim there too.

MIRKWOOD
The Woodies/Northmen captured 2305 this turn.

Gob gate was influenced by Murazor last turn back to the fold as a T/F

Another clearance effort on 2715 is underway, otherwise lots of light globes and all too few eyeballs.

RHUN/RHOVANION
A battle was fought between Dog cav and Eo infantry at 3713. The infantry died but no follow up army reached the hex. Lots of globes around there too.

MORDOR
Mahrcared scarpered with the Ring of Binding (after turning Din Othar into a lovely new dashmat). Just saw my JOverseer and the Eo forgot to change one of his moves which looks really funny from here (but totally unhelpful! :slight_smile:

The Dog recruit at the cap died and was rehired. An Eo infantry army remains there.

The dwarf lost a comm to assassination at 3925 (presumably CL since we know it definitely wasn’t Din Othar :smiley:

And the backup was PC’d by Tonn Varthkur - very sneaky! :slight_smile:

HARONDOR
Haruth Ramam moved to 2730 (SG T/F) where no one is home.

The SG/Sinda marines destroyed 2534.

Another Corsair army has moved in to clear out 2135 again.

As it stands the Harad currently own a MT and 2 T’s in both N and S Harondor.

The Freep executed Wodurishak

The DS assassinated Sangahyando, Falin and PC’d Bilsipur

Given the loss of the Two MT’s and the spreading peril I think the Freep still feel to have gotten the better of the exchange. Angmar in a bad position, Harondor bludgeoned but still on it’s feet, Mirkwood pretty much denuded of enemy armies if not pops, Rhovanion pretty clear. The war is yet to come to Mordor with any seriousness.

Ciao!

#11

Turn 9 came and went without a lot of fanfare

The freep losses first -
Dunsul assassinated
Hannibal of the Corsairs overrun
Beneoracer died at DG when the quartermaster accidently appended an extra zero next to his troop numbers :slight_smile:

HARONDOR
A nasty DS icon has appeared adjacent to Umbar at 2537
The Corsair knocked out the seed army at 2135 (again) and captured a backup comm
The Harad failed to threaten 2730 back, whilst a nasty SG fleet landed unopposed at 2632. Alas another town to burn! :slight_smile:

GONDOR
The SG and NG intercepted another FK force at 2828. Weenie roast to follow!

RHOVANION
Dog cav cornered by two freep forces at 3612. That should be the end of that.
A few icons hanging around Morannnon.

MIRKWOOD
Dol Guldur without defenders and sieged this turn.
2809 still intact
2409 was influenced back by the WK but not a threat at this point.
2305 was formerly taken by the freep.

ANGMAR
1910 captured this turn and freep forces at 2008 unopposed. The Rhu will cease to own any startup territory this turn.
WK outgunned at 1906, has a majority at 1806, and a spare icon at 1905 and 2006. Lots of freep icons surrounding.

With Rhudaur out of it, and the fight well and truly on the WK’s pops, and large freep armies in situ - looking bad for old Muzzy.

So that’s about it. Mordor still intact but the outer regions all look very good for freep.

Cheerio!

#12

Turn 10 results are in, so time to take a stocktake at the close of the traditional freep power game…

It’s been bloody for the DS but hats off to them, they continue to plug away…

As I look from my window there are no dragon camps visible in the misties on any freep map.

DS agent activity is limited, the freep look to be stealing more DS gold than vice versa now (the answer to that may be in the damaged economies they need to support).

The market has been extremely weak this game with large resources in reserve and also in market piles. This turn looks pretty normal with the sell price for leather, bronze, steel and food all at 1, timber is at 2, and mounts at 5. Mithril is at 29.

Regionally…

ANGMAR
The Rhu has been wiped out in entirety.
Two WK ‘armies’ are facing off against way superior forces at 1906, and two more ‘armies’ at 1905 against inferior freep blockers.
There’s no icon at 2006 so if there’s not a dragon at 1906 this turn they are in strife.

Currently the WK has his capital, a city/F at 2006, a V/- at 1806, a V/T at 1905 and a camp about to fall to the dwarves at 2005.

Gundabad (2305) had previously been transferred to the Dragon Lord but is now a T/- of the woodies.

So the NW looking grim for the DS - no agents active.

MIRKWOOD
2409 was influenced back by the WK as a T/F but is hosting a Noldo army this turn. No army was hired over the last couple turns so budget may be a bit stretched for Murazor :slight_smile:

2809 is still Drag but has no icon.

2715 is also dragon lord but will have the small recruit cleared again by the Woodies. This has been an ongoing game where the Mirkwood freep blow up the recruit, and presumably the dragon magi sickness them. At some point we’ll just stop playing and beat the hell out it I suppose! :slight_smile: So no DS activity in Mirkwood.

RHOVANION/RHUN
With the LR fleet sunk on T2 and all startup armies wiped out by turn 3 we haven’t seen Uvatha for quite some time. We ran into a small army of his at the v/- at 4324. Whilst the DS have been beaten out of the area, the freep haven’t capitalised from a push into the back door.

The last Dog cav was wiped out at 3612 this turn. 3716 and 3916 were retaken as C/T’s by the Northies and 3715 as a camp. A northy army is at 3819 to take that from the Dog.

An IK army has run into an Eo army at 3217. Another enemy icon at 3020 and Morannon. An Eo comm was the first curse victim near Morannon last turn.

GONDOR - the DS dropped the bridge at Pelargir last turn, and the NG the one at MA previously. So both sides happy to wave across the creek. The NG and SG destroyed the CL startups adjacent to Pelargir on T7, plus 2500FK HI last turn. THe NG destroyed the BS startups in the Gap of Rohan also on T7. The DS made no gains.

Osgiliath is a FK T/- and Minas Ithil a T/F. 3026 and 3028 were both threatened.

MORDOR - apart from a few wandering Eothraim nothing has been done to Mordor… so far!!! :slight_smile:

HARONDOR - N.Harad - 2730 has been captured by the SG as a T/F and resists all attempts by Haruth to threaten it :slight_smile:

SG has burned 2630, 2631, 2731 and 2632. 2430 was threatened. Only 2732 and 2833 stand for the Harad in the north.

In S.Harad the MT’s at 2534 and 2734 have been burned as has the town at 2634. The MT at 2535 remains as well as the Towns at 2635 and 2835.

On the positive side for the DS, 5 CL agents are active over the Corsair with a party of them on the capital along with a ‘huge’ Harad force. So whilst the Corsair has not suffered to date, there’s some ugliness circling. Could be an average turn with pretty much the entire CL assassin pool on the cap.

So all up - Mordor unmolested but stalled, Angmar being overrun, Mirkwood being overrun, Rhovanion/Rhun a position of strength for the Freep, and Harondor has taken a beating. We have no evidence to suggest any DS have been eliminated, which due to maintaining armies with little in the way of gold steals, and up to 4 brutalised nations may be a reason why we’re not seeing a lot of character action?

An interesting game, the DS character game historically kicks in from here, but quite a lot of freep are going to be freed up shortly to keep them busy.

The mid game threatens to be a cracker!

#13

Turn 11 is now part of history. More blows traded and some of them were landed by the DS!! :slight_smile: against me as it happens :frowning:

Well the good news for the DS, the CL’s rabble knocked out 3 Corsair commanders while the 6000+HI of the Harad captured the capital. Oh well, I suppose I had that coming :slight_smile: I did notice that both 2833 and 2835 without icons on them downgraded to villages - maybe the Harad wants to do my job for me? :slight_smile:

An IK army was destroyed at 3217 and Baltab died in combat. Not much else going on down there.

A woody army attacked the walls at 2715. Given that there were only about 3 of them left after combat with the defenders - they didn’t faire so well! :slight_smile: However… a hell of a lot of Sinda and dwarf troops lobbed in there this turn.

An icon has appeared at 2809. Drag - it’s a bit late to get feisty! :slight_smile:

In the NW a largish combat was fought at 1906. The freep advanced in strength to be unopposed at 2006 city/fort. What to do? :slight_smile:

Wk reinforcements hurrying to aid were comprehensively intercepted at 1905. So the lights are dimming for the DS in the NW with only 1804 of any note remaining DS, and 2006 with lots of visitors.

Looks like the DS’ strength has been reserved for the Corsairs. Lots of enemy troops (though considerably less after the cap was taken :slight_smile: and all the CL big gun agents. I’ll do my part of course to waste their time and effort :slight_smile:

Cheerio

#14

Greetings Warlords and -ladies,
me thinks we will have to narrow down the noose a bit.
… we will do!

DG will fall, without any questions.
… time to crack the fortress of Mordor!

Have Fun!

Gixxx

#15

Hi all. Turn 12 results are in and no disappointments! :slight_smile:

From the NW - 2703 was captured by the Woodies and Northies

The city at 2006 was burned to the ground by the Duns, Arth and Cards

The last remaining DS pop of note is 1804 which has an Arth army sitting on it, revealing it is still a MT/castle with no garrison. I think I hear the fat lady a’singin’ bud!

In mirkwood Dol Guldur was captured and looks interestingly nude of fortifications :slight_smile: Amroth was cursed - rather nastily from what I can gather because he’s hiked his skirts off to the halls of Mandos. Thrar was laughing so hard he failed to see the knife sticking out of his ear. But the result well worth the price.

Only 2809 remains to the DS - and still hidden.

So right across the north silence reins…

On the Rhovanion the dog has stirred again and gotten an army unopposed to 3116.

The Eo has run into a BS force at 3120 (C/T). Should have enough troops to fix that.

We can see a DS icon at 3121. Freep icons around too.

The far south looks a little better for the DS. A swarm of Harad and QA troops on 2437 which now sports a fort. So expecting to whittle them down some. They’d previously captured the Corsair capital. Another icon moved up to 2537.

Well very quiet turn from the DS agents. One successful assassination, a couple fails, and the big guns out of action. Must have had something better to do? :slight_smile:

The push on Mordor is starting…

#16

Heh heh enjoying your report!
Dean

Yeah me too! And that’s despite being the only freep the DS seem to be interested in bothering! :slight_smile:

Hi all. Turn 13 is in. THe pace is slowing a bit as the dashing freep homies take longer to tango with their DS bad girl counterparts, but one very important fact contines to impress itself upon me - I remain the prettiest player on the field! I mean just look at that smile! :slight_smile:

Okay from the North
A new heading - All things north of Morannon -
2703 had previously fallen into Freep hands - Gaerandil PC’d Angulion and turned him into a lovely dashmat and set of fluffy dice for his chariot.
Considerable Arth and Card forces made it onto 1804 which is still a MT/Castle. Numerous WK commanders seen streaming south so I guess it’s all over :slight_smile:

Nothing DS remains in the NW.

In Mirkwood there’s a DS recruit icon at 2809 but that’s all that remains of the Dragon Lord.

Bulrakur destroyed 3116 and then ‘ran back to momma’ :slight_smile:

Bulrakur is now at 3119, Eo and FK armies facing off at 3120. Two freep armies at 3020 and little light globes all over.

Starting to build up there.

To the far south where the action continues

The CL knocked out two SG comms at the capital.

DS agents dropped the castle at 2337 and the fort at 2236.

Grimbo failed to assassinate Mireadur yet again :slight_smile:

The T/F at 2437 was captured by the Harad.

So lots of heat and noise around the Corsairs who seem to be bearing the brunt of enemy character actions.

Other than that - Haruth Ramam has gotten sick of failing to threaten 2730 (all those French knights laughing at him no doubt :slight_smile: and wandered away to try to threaten a camp at 2632 (with as much luck I hope :slight_smile:

Freep fortunes continuing well.

Cheerio!

There is no substitute for me! Well…maybe there is. In fact just about anyone can substitute for me.
