Hello everyone...
Updated (24/6/01)
20/6 We have updated www.MiddleEarthGames.com - check it out if get a spare
moment.
25/6 Player report: Game 1650/302 ended with the ONE RING thrown into the
pit by Cirdan. The Easterlings and Corsairs went DS and Harad and the Duns
went Free. The west and the Mirkwood were secured early However, the
Corsairs and QA virtually over ran South Gondor in its entirety and the LR
secured a grip on the Sea of Rhun. The Noldo and Cardolan recovered South
Gondor, with the help of a new SG player, and smashed the Corsairs and QA.
Free armies contained the DS in Mordor and made inroads on the NW and west
passes. After two years of play, the BS found the ONE RING and took it to
MT Doom. When we last stopped counting there were almost 70 characters on
site for "the Metallica concert". When the dust settled Elrond had killed
the RING bearer and Cirdan had the RING. First place to Brian Hansen
(Woodmen), second place to John Barret (Duns) and third to Ed Mills
(Arthedain).
20/6 Player report: With the ending of 2950 g28 (the ds conceded pn t21
after the last neutral turned free), I would like to thank the following
a) the free side (especially those who were playing their first middle
earth game, and those who helped them out).
b) the DS side (the rangers were laughing when we threatened away Mt Gram,
but Mordor was tough). For 10,000 timber a pop, you would think the bridge
would have eventually stayed up.
c) Yahoo (they helped up swap turnsheets and emails).
Noldor/South Gondor/Khand were the top three. But we didn't lose a single
free, so that's pretty good. thanks din
p.s. I really think leaving Mt Gram alone was a bad idea.
18/6 Player report: Game 312 (1650) The Free Peoples rode great team
coordination to victory over the disorganized DS in Game 312-1650. Despite
starting the game with North Gondor and Eothraim both missing their first
two turns, the FP were able to get good replacements who soon righted their
foundering positions. The Easterlings, Harad, and Dunlendings joined the
cause of Good, establishing a 3-2 split.
A coordinated attack by the Sinda, Woodmen, Eothraim, Northmen, and Dwarves
burned Morannon to the ground while Cardolan, The Dwarves, Noldo,
Dunlendings, and Arthedain were destroying the evil turncoat Rhudaurians
and the WK. Meanwhile, the Easterlings gutted the interior of Mordor with
multiple cav armies. It was just a matter of mopping up after that as the
IK, FK, and DkLts fell to combined emissary and army assaults. The top 3
finishers were Cardolan, the Woodmen, and the Dwarves, played by Facade,
Tom MacCabe, and Jeff Horne respectively, but all the FP contributed
greatly to this victory. A true team victory.
