In the first month you attacked your neutral neighbor to burn down 2 towns (by the way that was a fun idea to recruit HC from city and move them out. I did not think of that when I played Corsairs in our last match). In the second month you burn down another while I call up my forces. Now your forces are no where to be seen in North Harad. My armies will await your ships.
South Harad: Looks like your 2 forces facing the QA did not do so well this turn. At least it helps your economy How much did you wonder if I had the forces to take down your MT/F? Maybe I did but I just am not ready to throw HC against walls. I like those for the army battles. We have a good battle in the south with you having the upper hand but we shall see how the final outcome will become.
Side note: Now where did all those SG/Sinda/Corsair ships go to? Hope they are not about to move on South Harad and QA. That would give you to big of an advantage down here. I wish you the best and if you can ask SG to let my leader go that would be appreciated and would be a step in the right direction for your surprise attack on my nation.
john,
your going to crush me. i know that, you know that and anybody whos been in my sailors shoes knows it. removing 3 towns from your tax roles, hasn’t hurt my chances, but diverting those forces to deflect your avenger ally has cost me the chance to take 2535. but the longer i keep you from inhibiting the s gondor, the better the free side has it. we all have our roles to play in the grand design. i’m just looking to exceed teamwide projections for my nation. now to roll up my sleeves, and get busy with dying hard.
what missing yatchs?
With a great clammer a brood of young orc women marched into a Dun village with signs held high. “FREE ASHDURBUK!!” They cried!! “FREE ASHDURBUK!!”
With great sorrow, the hero of the Misty Mountains is stuck in some Dun Dungeon awaiting his execution after a noble and brilliant stand against the forces of the Dun army.
In other news, Ji Indur the Nazgul was slain by Elladan in a public ritual. Meanwhile Elrohir (Elladan’s brother) was slain in a different kind of execution. His head found on top of Erestor’s fresh grave. Is this the beginning of a family feud?
Behold, the Nazgul can die! The ashes of Ji Indur still smolder as Elladan set his body ablaze to rid the town of Tharbad of the stench. When Ji Indur was publicly executed, his body released an unearthly odor that made the spectators sick and nauseous, and only the few Elves in the audience could stomach it for very long. As Elladan watched the burning carcass once feared by so many, a runner approached him with a parchment. Elladan unrolled the scroll detailing the findings of a scouting party further north. His brother Elrohir had been found dead next to the grave of Erestor. While Sauron’s Nazgul had accepted the loss of one of there brotherhood, so has the House of Elrond with the loss of Elrohir. Equally as unsettling is the hidden mission his brother had been given, and the understanding that Sauron’s minions have most likely secured what Elrohir and Erestor were in charge of retrieving.
In other news the hordes of Mordor have once again set siege on Osgiliath. The citizens of Gondor once again are faced with the threat of the great city being overrun. Mordor continues to push out of its confinement.
The Great War is on, and scrimmages are abounding all over middle earth. This season saw no clear victory for either side as both struggle for supremacy.
while not a banner turn for the corsairs(2437 gets taken), it was something of a disappointment for the harad. does anyone know how FORCED capitol relocation works?
What is going on with the Woodies, first you tell me to prepare a feast in your honor at Mt. Gunabad two turns ago, and then never show up. Second, you just lost your MT to the Dragonlord’s puny army. Why don’t you leave the poor WK alone and go protect your homeland.
wow,
going back to game #38 to score points. musta been a nice game, hope you enjoyed the look back in history. in the meantime, betcha those 2900 troops at 2535 would have been useful anywhere else. please tell the avenger to remove her rabble from the field of play. they’d be mistaken for refugees, but for the tattered banners they carry. gargal and ingar, aka “laurel and hardy” of middle earth. time to send in the agents, cause this fronts collapsing for you evil types.
Blinders on the Corsairs? Say it isn’t so. It is sad to see the goodies celebrate and gloat taking their first MT on turn 7. We admit to the goodies, and especially SG for a fine move on the Harad capital. We even discussed blowing up that Harbor 2 turns ago. But to discuss full out victory because of one capital relocation? Goodies need to rein in your fine comrade’s comments before he makes you look bad.
#38 was our grudge game before this one, I know some of the goodies came and went. Only reason I bring it up.
Time for a nap while the Arth/Cards/DW/Woodies/Sinda all sneak around my towns and villages… Ho Hum.
dave,
there are things you can control, and things you can not. things in the south are going very well. i guess the response is appearances can be decieving. that is certain, not only in the south, but also in the north.
as for blinders, its hard to see through the smoke from southern harad.

angmar dave,
hope your turns went poorly, since your on the other side. my turn went okay. i lost my town, and some army combats too. could you explain what happened to the 2534, and 2734. seems while the harad was both taking my town, and killing 900 lite class troops with overwhelming numbers, the map changed.
2534 has the s gondor banner flying over it, and 2734 is hidden, but i can see the fort. either you crazy boys from angmar have a partial cloaking device, or i fear it’s a bad day in harad.

actually, our folder was getting too far down, so i wanted to float it back up. float back up, likethe ds navies. how does harad plan to counter attack when hes on the north side of the river?
thanks s gondor, for making this all possible.(credit where due)
Scott, you’ll need to boast your only real team victory so far to the Harad vs. me.
My turn(s) went excellent. Of course my expectations are not real high being the focus of the Arthedain, Cardolan, Dwarf, Duns, Woodie & Sinda. But you do the best with what you are given. Admittedly under this kind of pressure I rely on my teammates a bit, thank you team! In a nutshell, I think I’m handling the pressures up North very well (IMO). I could have lost a bunch more than I have at this point, and I’m making life difficult for the Cardolan empire. Hopefully, I have earned the respect of the HALF of your team that is focused on me.
I need to sit down and draft a news statement from the Mordor Press, but I keep losing good field reporters that can actually spell. =)
Maybe John (Harad) will speak up sometime soon, but he likes to let the game speak for itself.
David Thomas]Doug does, I took his capital in #38 as the Rhu.
*No Dave, I was the Rhu. And with every passing turn, with the camp limit having expired, I was getting stronger. You couldn’t crack all of the towns at the front, let alone get at the new line being raised in the mountains. Vive la Rhu

Thanks for the character named after me Dave - “Gaulrog” is a new one. I bet the portrait isn’t as pretty as the original though I’ve got one for you - Davo Dribbleduds. That’s what I used to call my little fella. You remind me of him
Let me just say that Gaulrog is one mean SOB, I’d advise you NOT to mess with him. Maybe I’ll post his pic sometime. =) I think I’ve earned a little more respect than Davo Dribbledud, but suit yourself. Davo Witchhunter might be cool. Or Davo Rhudender? I was trying to come up with a clever name for Dougman, that I could get an orc pic with??
Boy do I wish you had access to our Emails. There is a running bet as to whether we kill you or ourselves first. I wonder does everyone on your team already know each other? Our Team, a collection of well but narrow minded Trogs, are split down the middle. I again hope this ends soon and truth be told it will with you guys done. Just so I can get away from all this culture clash. I now know why the world hates Americans. I'm going to leave at that ;)
How much did you wonder if I had the forces to take down your MT/F? Maybe I did but I just am not ready to throw HC against walls. I like those for the army battles. We have a good battle in the south with you having the upper hand but we shall see how the final outcome will become.
