Generally speaking, good stuff.
You might want a nicer font on the title page - it's very blocky now.
Love the stuff in the back, with the unfed army movement.
The tactic chart (with the arrows) is interesting - is that official data?
Navy movement cost chart is a little redundant - you repeat yourself a lot.
What happend to the advice and stuff that we wrote for the rulebook? Is that a separate module?
Fourth age victory conditions are unclear. You mention strategic victory, but nothing else.
No other comments right now. Looks nice.

Re: Rulebook Guide - Did you send it to everyone who asked or just a few
select people? I don't recall getting one (I asked). Unless we're supposed
to download it ourselves somewhere and I missed it? I'd love to give
feedback but I didn't get any feed to GIVE back.

Yep it went out to all that asked. I think Brad set up a Yahoogroups for those wanting it.
"The tactic chart (with the arrows) is interesting - is that official data?"
I don't want to discuss the rulebook as such until it's officially out.

We're not sure yet - it's been an uphill struggle getting to this stage. Depends on how players take to the book.

I also agreed to look at it but I haven't had a copy.

I have set up a yahoogroup...it has 2 members. It's purpose was for those
who's email programs would not accept such a large attachment. I've
uploaded the file MEGames sent me. That's it. If anyone is interested,
please send me your email address and I'll invite you to join the group, and
thus you can download the file. I can't guarantee 12 hour service, but I'm

Likewise. That makes at least 3 of us then.

Gunboat 1650 Game 36 has just ended - t'was all but up for the Dark Servants for a few turns. Congrats to John Welty (SG/Wo) for beating me to 1st... cheese...
Lots of fun - bad luck to the Dragon Lord player who attempted to assassinate my army at 2715 and lost his agent and all the items, including the Ring of Wind and his big starting mage item... Amroth for godhood...
Great fun with big armies - ended up with 8k hc with the one nation and had to reduce the other nation to 6k hc due to the restraints on my economy. Heh,heh, heh. Lost my 91 Agent with 30 Stealth on the penultimate turn (scouting not showing up any enemy agents when there were 2 tasty) hurt a fair bit but I've learnt a lot from the game - what to do and what not to do. Reckon it was Din Ohtar!
Interaction: Finally on turn 37 got a Curse item having hounded the Dog Lord for a while trying to hunt it down. Earlier on I had transferred Mothras and sat at the Dun capital for a few turns with Hallas and Ringling (hint, hint as I knew he had E Mere Vardo) but didn't get the Curse Item I was looking for.
Sent the Woodmen some gold early in the game but nothing returned. Tried upgrading and transferring food from friendly pcs but never got any. Actually lost 2 pcs (both MTs) to Friendly 525s - I had captured that turn and they had 525ed - cheese. At least the Noldo didn't decide to hit my characters (I was at his pc with my agent squad) which was good news for both of us.
Battlewise - Dun and Cardolan turned up at Rhudaur capital - I went for destroy he went for capture (or vice-versa) - bad news for us. I didn't see a single Arthedain coming south all game or in the East. Woodmen, Duns and myself (and on turn 35ish the Eothraim with a small army) at Morannon but that was about all militarily and combined attacks. Duns and myself hunted down CL towns in the game and took out Ithil Pass (he got the glory!)
End of the game I own 3221, 3122, 3222 (town), 3421 (mt), 3622, 3624, 3630, 3929 so that was fun and hard logisitically to organise. Rhudaur is mostly Dun (some Card) and WK mine. Eothraim had got hit in the game and I could see a lot of pcs destroyed by mid-game but only send over a couple thousand HI to see what was up. NM who got kicked early in the game but by the end belonged to the Dwarf again.
Good strong play by the QA/Dog combo (Kevin Ingram), tenacious play by the DkL (Fletcher Brown).
Information gathering - never did get a palantir... 
Generally just went for it with the armies and 925s & 940 428/430s with the occasional doubled enemy character. The market was pretyt much very rich which must suite the DS - well the number of st/st HC armies I met implied that as well.
Must play again... let's see if I can convince the GM that another 1650 GB game can be sorted...

Clint,
Will the rulebook stay in pdf-only form or will it be available for purchase
as is the old book? Just wanted to know before I printed 309 pages on my
poor little printer. I'll just look at them on computer if there will be a
published edition available.

Not sure yet. It will be changed a fair bit from this format though. We'll have to look at printing costs and desirability.
