Game 98 turn 2

Argeleb II gazed at the raising sun hitting the palisades of the orc pit Cargash. An black horde a little more than 2000 troops strong were massing at the walls. He could almost smell the trolls and orcs’ fear. They where wearing the colours of Dancu. Argeleb smiled without warmth and raised his hand to signal the attack. The witchking would not be pleased when he learned that he has lost another of his towns on the plains…

Greetings undecided leaders of MiddleEarth.

It is still my hope that You that still has not declared whether to fight for or against the darkness will see the truth and join weapons with the Free people and for salvation of us all participating in crushing the Eye.

I hope this report of the progress of the free armies will encourage you even more and see it as a sign of good faith.

Angmar: The first Er-Murazorian hold has fallen to Cardolan troops. Eldanar (1907) is now a village flying the flag of Cardolan. Cardolan and Arthedain troops now face 2200 witchking troops under Dancu outside Cargash (1806). I am writing this report up for you in my tent outside Cargash and at the time You received it the battle should be over with us as victors. Cargash will fall as the rest of Er-Murazor. A DS army is currently north of Fornost Erain. It will be dealth will too. The bad news is that strong forces of trolls are at the gates of the dwarfs hold Zarak-dum (2004) and I dought they will hold much longer. Mercy to Falin and his fellows…

Mirkwood: No armies under the Eye banners in sight. An enormous cavalry army from Eothraim will take the stronghold of Khamûl, Dol Goldur (2715) within days. Armies of Dwarfs, Noldo and Woodmen will capture Goblin gate (2409). The attack should already have started.

Rhun: A strong Long rider cavalry force has taken Dilgul (4217) and has moved to Elgaer (4415) but numerous free armies are moving to intercept it and destroy it.

Mordor: No DS army has sullied the Rhovanian soil besides Gortmorg who meet an large North Gondor army at Tir Nindor (3020). Free peoples are marching hard to retain the evil at Morannon so it will not run loose on the surrounding lands. Osgiliath (3024) is currently under control of Hoarumrâth the Ice King (town/fort), but reinforcements are currently moving to regain control. Minis Ithil is secure with only a small Long Rider force facing North Gondor armies. Even the pressence of the Nazgûl known as Ji Indur will not help the Darkness to take hold of this proud Gondor bastion. Haradwaith sailed south and we stretchs our hand out in hope of reopening negotiatons with Kas Shoul after the misunderstanding at the Anduin.

Let me know if you have further questions to the campaing against Sauron. I hope we soon meet as victors against a common foe.

Argeleb II King of Arthedain

Wasn’t aware that our negotiations had been closed at any time :wink:

Looking forward to hear more news and to receive emmisaries in my glorious capital.

Ulrik, ruler of Harad and pirate in the making…

p.s. A short review of how my turn went: Boorriiiing.

As stated in my post after turn 1, we were a bit concerned will your navy blocked SG in 2630, but after we found out that the fault was our own and saw this turn that you did not block us again we are 10-4 rubberduck :wink: (we still hate you in game 96 though)
